Depression assessment and classification in palliative cancer patients
Palliative Medicine, 10/28/09

Wasteson E et al. – The full range of the DSM–IV diagnostic criteria was seldom assessed, i.e. less than one–third of the assessments in the review took into account the duration of symptoms and 18% assessed consequences and impact upon patient functioning. A diversity of assessment methods had been used. Few studies classified depression by referring to a diagnostic system or by using cut–off scores. Evidently, there is a need for a consensus on how to assess and conceptualize depression and related conditions in palliative care.
