Our @DepressdP IPDMA on HADS-D accuracy, led by Dr. Yin Wu, was published today in @bmj_latest! We pooled data from 101 studies and found that a cutoff of >=7 maximized combined sensitivity and specificity. Read more here: https://t.co/iMmsjoeW7f

Accuracy of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale Depression subscale (HADS-D) to screen for major depression: systematic review and individual participant data meta-analysis https://t.co/wwZCpUNY0z

[Parash Mani Bhandari @mePMBhandari]

In this paper published in @JClinEpi, we evaluate the extent to which data-driven cutoff selection methods can generate inaccurate cutoffs and biased accuracy estimates https://t.co/2A1Oa9gKyu

[Parash Mani Bhandari @mePMBhandari]

@SatishKTM If a test always gave a negative result, the overall accuracy would still be 98.0% (196/200) simply because only 2% of the participants are truly infected. The RDT tested here is missing 2 of the 4 infected participants (50% of the times). It's scary that we are still using it.

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

[Parash Mani Bhandari @mePMBhandari]

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

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

यसलाई भनिन्छ विशुद्ध 'नीतिगत भ्रष्टाचार';
ग्राहकले राज्यलाई तिरेको १३% भ्याट व्यापारीलाई "तिमी राख" भन्छ सरकार। अझै प्रस्ट पार्नुपर्दा; मन्त्री र सरकारी उच्च अधिकारीले "राख, बाडौंला" भनेको हो।
