          Abstract

          Fundamento: existen escasos cuestionarios de cribado de depresíón adecuadamente validados al castellano. Objetivo: adaptar y validar al castellano la versión abreviada de la Geriatric Depression Scale de Yesavage (GDS) para su uso en el cribado de depresiones en mayores de 65 años. Diseño, material y método: el trabajo se ha realizado en consultas de un centro de salud de Atención Primaria mediante un estudio de validación de cuestionarios. Se ha realizado en tres etapas: en la primera se ha traducido y adaptado el cuestionario al castellano (GDS-VE). En una segunda fase el médico/enfermera de cada sujeto aplicó el cuestionario de forma individual. Por último, otro investigador, de forma ciega, realizó al sujeto una entrevista semiestructurada para determinar síntomas de depresión según los criterios establecidos en la CIE-10. Igualmente se realizó una evaluación del estado cognitivo y se cumplimentaron los cuestionarios de Montgomery-Asberg, Pfeiffer-VE, MEC, IQCODE-VE y la parte de valoración de actividades de la vida diaria del OARS-MFAQ. El resultado final de esta exploración fue considerado como el patrón oro de diagnóstico de depresión, siendo la referencia para el cálculo de la sensibilidad, especificidad y razones de máxima verosimilitud para un resultado positivo y negativo del test. Resultados: se ha realizado la adaptación del GDS obteniendo la versión a validar (GDS-VE). Finalizaron el estudio 249 personas mayores de 65 años, con media de edad de 74,3 años, el 67,5% mujeres y un 65% analfabetos o sin estudios. La fiabilidad intraobservador ha sido del 0,95 y la interobservador del 0,65, con una consistencia interna de 0,99. Se ha obtenido un área bajo la curva de 0,835. La sensibilidad alcanzada ha sido del 81,1% y la especificidad del 76,7% para un punto de corte de 5 o más puntos. Conclusiones: los parámetros de fiabilidad y validez para la versión adaptada han resultado aceptables y similares a los del cuestionario original. Se recomienda utilizar un punto de corte de 5 o más para considerar la posible existencia de depresión.

          Translated abstract

          Background: there are few questionnaires of depression screening appropriately validated in Spanish language. Objective: to adapt and to validate to the Spanish language the abbreviated version of the Geriatric Depression Scale of Yessavage (GDS) for their use in the one sieved of depressive dysfunctions in patients older than 65 years. Design, material and method: the study was carried out in the consultations of a health center, in three stages: in the first one, the questionnaire was translated and adapted to the Spanish language (GDL-VE). In a second phase, the doctor or the nurse applied the questionnaire to every patient individually. Finally, another investigator carried out each a semiestructurated interview, in a blind way, to determine the depression symptoms according to the approaches settled down in the ICE-10. Cognitive satate was also assesed, and the question-naires of Montgomery-Asberg, Pfeiffer-VE, MEC, IQCODE-EV were passed, as the part of the questionnaire OARS-MFAQ corresponding to the evaluation of the daily activities. The final result of this exploration was considered the gold standard for the diagnosis of depression, being the reference for the calculation of the sensibility, specificity and reasons of maximum verisimilitude for a positive and negative results of the test. Results: an adaptation from the GDS to the version GDS-GO was performed. Two hundred and forty-nine patients older than 65 years completed the study, with age of 74.3 on average, 67.5% of them were women and 65 were analphabet or with no studies. The intraobserver reliability was 0.95 and the interobserver was 0.65, with an internal consistency of the 0.99. An under curve area of 0.385 was obtained. The sensibility reached 81.1% and the specificity 76.7%, for a cut point of 5 or more. Conclusions: the parameters of reliability and validity for the adapted version of the question-naire have been acceptable and similar to those of the original questionnaire. It is recommended to use a cut point of 5 or above to consider the existence of a depression.
