In the first phase, the subjects completed the GDS, the Mini\u2010Mental State Examination (MMSE) and a questionnaire on health and socio\u2010demographic variables. They were later interviewed using the Geriatric Mental Schedule (GMS), used as the gold standard by doctors who were unaware of the results of the GDS. Two categories were contemplated according to the results of the GMS: cases of depression (diagnosis of psychotic or neurotic depression) and non\u2010psychiatric cases (no psychiatric diagnosis, although isolated symptoms could be present).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>192 aged subjects were interviewed using the GDS and the GMS. Of these, 103 were considered \u2018non\u2010cases of depression\u2019 and 60 others made up the \u2018cases of psychotic\/neurotic depression\u2019 group. For the most effective cut\u2010point (9\/10), sensitivity was 86.7% and specificity 63.1%. Considering a prevalence of depression of 30%, the predictive value for positives was 50.2% and for negatives 91.7%. The Cronbach alpha coefficient was 0.82, and the area below the ROC curve obtained was 0.85. Those patients with cognitive deterioration had a mean GDS score similar to those that did not present deterioration (11.16 <jats:italic>vs<\/jats:italic> 10.52; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&gt;\u20090.05).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The Geriatric Depression Scale is valid as a screening test in Primary Care consultations due to its high sensitivity and negative predictive value.
