Current depression diagnosis was assessed using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-V disorders (SCID-V-CV) as the reference standard. Gender-specific diagnostic accuracy was evaluated using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analyses, including Area Under the Curve (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity. AUC values were compared to those of the commonly used PHQ-9 (Patient Health Questionnaire-9).

At the cut-off score of 16, sensitivity (women: 74%, men: 83%; p = 0.422) and specificity (women: 82%, men: 87%; p = 0.220) were comparable across genders. The PHQ-9 showed a significantly higher AUC for men (0.90) than for women (0.78; p = 0.048).
