Optimal cutoff point of the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression according to normal levels of social and occupational functioning.

Abstract:

:The main goal in the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) is to achieve remission, defined as the resolution of symptoms and the return to normal levels of functionality. However, the clinical assessment of remission is usually merely based on scores of symptomatic rating scales. One of the most widely used scales to measure remission is the HAM-D(17), in which remission is defined as a score ≤ 7. Nevertheless, several studies have shown that this cutoff could be too high when also functioning is considered. This is a post-hoc analysis of a 6-month prospective study, performed over a sample of 292 Spanish patients with MDD, in order to find the optimal cutoff in the HAM-D(17) scale, considering normal levels of functionality, evaluated by the SOFAS; by means of plotting Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curves. Our results show that a score of ≤ 5 maximized both sensitivity and specificity for identifying normal levels of functionality with respect to other scores, and thus agree with previous works, which suggest that a cutoff ≤ 7 might be too high to consider remission in patients with MDD, when normal levels of functioning are taken into account.
