In an individual participant data meta-analysis of studies comparing PHQ scores w major depression diagnoses, combination PHQ-2 (cutoff 2) followed by PHQ-9 (cutoff 10) screening had similar sensitivity, higher specificity vs PHQ-9 alone (cutoff 10) https://t.co/nHzeCI9h0Q

[DEPRESSD @DepressdP]

Our IPDMA on the PHQ-2 alone and in combination w the PHQ-9 was published in JAMA. The study, led by Dr. Levis, synthesized data from 100 studies(44,318 patients), found that the combination of PHQ-2 (cutoff 2) followed by the PHQ-9 (cutoff 10) had similar accuracy to PHQ-9 alone

[Brooke Levis @blevis_epi]

Our individual participant data meta-analysis found that using the PHQ-2 as a pre-screen for the PHQ-9 has similar accuracy to the PHQ-9 alone, but reduces the number of participants needing to complete the full PHQ-9 by 57%. https://t.co/cmUZBOy8TQ

Our study reports that using the PHQ-2 to prescreen patients before administering the full PHQ-9 reduces the number of patients to administer the full PHQ-9 by 57% AND provides similar accuracy to detect major depression compared to the full PHQ-9 alone. https://t.co/8X4R9LWUmv

कम्युनिस्टको नाममा कलंक:
नेता र नेता पत्नी विमारी भए दिल्ली र सिँगापुरमा उपचार। न्यायको भिख माग्ने गंगामाया अनि दूरदराजका विपन्न जनताको स्वास्थसेवाका लागि निस्वार्थ लड्ने डा गोविन्द केसीलाई चाहिँ तिमीहरू मार्न चाहान्छौं। धिक्कार छ, तिमीहरूलाई। तिमीहरू कम्युनिस्टको नाममा कलंक हौ।

How prevalent is child abuse among students in Kathmandu? What are the characteristics that predict a higher likelihood of experiencing abuse? Who are the most common perpetrators? We explored these questions in our study and the paper is now online. https://t.co/QE4il30ID4

[Dipika Neupane @NeupaneDipika]

Over 88% of students reported experiencing child abuse in the home in one or more forms throughout their lifetime https://t.co/35Kg1ZfKSU
