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 तिम��हरू 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
