Trial summary

Prevalence of depression shows great heterogeneity in patients with psoriasis. This could be explained by the psychometric properties of the questionnaires assessing depressive symptoms: these tests have not been developed in a context of dermatosis. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Identification of the Best Self-questionnaire to Diagnose Depression in Patients With Psoriasis

Prevalence of depression shows great heterogeneity in patients with psoriasis. This could be explained by the psychometric properties of the questionnaires assessing depressive symptoms: these tests have not been developed in a context of dermatosis. The complaints and symptoms associated with psoriasis can be misidentified by questionnaires as a manifestation of depressive symptomatology and may overestimate depressive symptoms.

In other diseases such as asthma and rheumatoid arthritis, tools have been validated specifically to take into account these symptoms.

The purpose of this study is to validate and compare assessment tools for depression in patients with psoriasis.

Read the detailed description

The study does not modify the management of patients. Patients will be contacted by phone. The protocol, the modalities and the objectives of the study will be presented during a first telephone interview. A second telephone interview will be scheduled with the patient 3 days later for the collection of his informed consent, if he agrees to participate, and the completion of the questionnaires of the study. The online questionnaires will be sent by email during this call.

  1. Telephone interview (5 minutes) Presentation of the study. Schedule a telephone appointment 3 days later.
  2. Telephone interview (10 minutes) Collection of consent. Sociodemographic questionnaire: sex, age, marital status, level of education Medical questionnaire including the consumption of tobacco and alcohol, the collection of current treatments, their indications and their start dates. Semi-directed telephone interview to identify the presence of depressive or dysthymic disorders (MINI).
  3. mailing of the self-questionnaires (20 to 30 minutes) Medical questionnaire: duration of psoriasis, simplified index of psoriasis, presence of pruritus, pain EVA (cutaneous and articular), fatigue. Self-questionnaires BDI, PHQ9, IDS, QIDS, HADS assessing the intensity of depressive symptoms.
  4. Retest (10 minutes) Some patients will be offered to re-fill the self-questionnaires assessing the intensity of depressive symptoms 15 days after completion of the survey. All participants selected for the retest will not complete all questionnaires again: the questionnaires will be distributed among the patients. The retest requires 50 patients who declare themselves stable (identified by one item) for each questionnaire.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Diagnostic performance in term of specificity of self-questionnaires assessing depression in relation to the diagnosis made during the interview using the MINI (Mini International neuropsychiatric Interview)

    Comparison of specificity between each self-questionnaires (PHQ9- Patient health Questionnaire, BDI - Beck Depression Inventory, HADS, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Depression, IDS, Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology ). Threshold values will be determined with the ROC curves according to presence of depression or not (identified during with the MINI).

    Measured: Day 7

  2. Diagnostic performance in term of positive predictive value of self-questionnaires assessing depression in relation to the diagnosis made during the interview using the MINI (Mini International neuropsychiatric Interview)

    Comparison of positive predictive values according to threshold values between each self-questionnaires (PHQ9- Patient health Questionnaire, BDI - Beck Depression Inventory, HADS, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Depression, IDS, Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology ). Threshold values will be determined with the ROC curves according to presence of depression or not (identified during with the MINI).

    Measured: Day 7

  3. Diagnostic performance in term of sensitivity of self-questionnaires assessing depression in relation to the diagnosis made during the interview using the MINI (Mini International neuropsychiatric Interview)

    Comparison of sensitivity between each self-questionnaires (PHQ9- Patient health Questionnaire, BDI - Beck Depression Inventory, HADS, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Depression, IDS, Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology ). Threshold values will be determined with the ROC curves according to presence of depression or not (identified during with the MINI).

    Measured: Day 7

  4. Diagnostic performance in term of negative predictive value of self-questionnaires assessing depression in relation to the diagnosis made during the interview using the MINI (Mini International neuropsychiatric Interview)

    Comparison of negative predictive values according to threshold values between each self-questionnaires (PHQ9- Patient health Questionnaire, BDI - Beck Depression Inventory, HADS, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Depression, IDS, Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology ). Threshold values will be determined with the ROC curves according to presence of depression or not (identified during with the MINI).

    Measured: Day 7

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Diagnostic performance in term of specificity of self-questionnaires assessing depression in relation to the diagnosis made during the interview using the MINI (Mini International neuropsychiatric Interview) (time frame: Day 7). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Jul 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
