Abstract

The authors report on the psychometric characteristics and clinical efficacy of two versions of a recently developed screening measure of depression (the DMI-18 and DMI-10) in the cardiac population. Patients with acute coronary syndrome or heart failure (N = 322) completed the DMI measures, psychosocial questionnaires, and a semistructured clinical interview during the hospital stay. The DMI-18 and DMI-10 measures have adequate psychometric properties, demonstrating high sensitivity and specificity when evaluated against clinical judgment based on a semi-structured interview. The DMI-18 and DMI-10 are appropriate for use as screening instruments in cardiac patients.
