Comparison of Depression Detection in Parents of Children with Strabismus between HADS-D and SDS
Figure 1a shows that among parents of children with strabismus, the incidences of depression were significantly different by the HADS-D and SDS (16.82% vs. 31.82%, P <0.001). According to HADS-D and SDS criteria, respectively, among the parents who had concomitant depression, 67.57% and 51.43% had mild depression, 32.43% and 44.29% had moderate depression, and 0 and 4.28% had severe depression(Fig 1b). The proportion of depression severities identified using the HADS-D and SDS criteria did not differ (Fisher test, P = 0.190).
As seen in Figure 3, 10.91% (24/220) of the patients met the criteria for depression according to both HADS-D and SDS, 5.91% (13/220) met the criteria for depression according to only HADS-D, 20.91% (46/220) met the criteria for depression according to only SDS, and 62.27% (137/220) did not show anxiety according to either HADS-A or SAS. There was a significant correlation between the HADS-D and SDS scores(Spearman test, r = 0.523, P = 0.000). (Fig 3)
