Is there a difference between hospital-verified and self-reported self-harm? Implications for repetition
Repeated intentional self-harm (SH) is associated with economic costs and increased risk of suicide. Estimates of repetition vary according to method of data capture and are limited by short periods of follow-up observation. Some sources use hospital records and others self-reported SH (SRSH). Our aim was to examine the relationship between SRSH and hospital-verified SH (HVSH) and later repetition of SH (predictive validity). We also aimed to examine whether rates of SH repetition differ between first-time presenters and non-first-time presenters using either definition of SH. (Source: General Hospital Psychiatry)

Performance of Depression Rating Scales in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease: An Item Response Theory-based Analysis
Because there is overlap between somatic symptoms of depression and symptoms of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), it is unclear if self-reported depression rating scales can be used accurately in pre-dialysis CKD patients, especially if CKD and other comorbidities are symptomatic. We assessed the performance of two depression scales – the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the Quick Inventory of Depression Symptomatology (QIDS-SR16) – by CKD stage, diagnosis of diabetes, and total medical comorbidity burden - using Item Response Theory (IRT) in a sample of 272 pre-dialysis CKD patients.
