Core Tip Post-stroke depression is prevalent and often underrecognized in neurological environments. This study directly compares the diagnostic utility of the 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale clinician-rated and self-administered Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) in patients with cerebral infarction, using International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision structured interviews as reference standard. The diagnostic accuracy of both scales was good, and there was no significant difference in the area under the curve values. The best sensitivity and specificity was at a PHQ-9 cutoff score of ≥ 7. Because it is simple and feasible, PHQ-9 might be preferred to assess post-stroke depression in neurology wards for screening alone and then require confirmation by a specialist assessment.
