The Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) was used to define the presence of major depression (DSM-IV criteria). We examined symptoms of depression using four well-known scales delivered in Kurdish. The Partial Credit Model was applied to each instrument. Common-item equating was subsequently used to create an item bank and differential item functioning (DIF) explored for known subgroups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results: A symptom level Rasch analysis reduced the original 45 items to 24 items of the original after the exclusion of 21 misfitting items. A further six items (CESD13 and CESD17, HADS-D4, HADS-D5 and HADS-D7, and CDSS3 and CDSS4) were removed due to misfit as the items were added together to form the item bank, and two items were subsequently removed following the DIF analysis by diagnosis (CESD20 and CDSS9, both of which were harder to endorse for women). Therefore the remaining optimal item bank consisted of 17 items and produced an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.987. Using a bank restricted to the optimal nine items revealed only minor loss of accuracy (AUC = 0.989, sensitivity 96%, specificity 95%). Finally, when restricted to only four items accuracy was still high (AUC was still 0.976; sensitivity 93%, specificity 96%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusions: An item bank of 17 items may be useful in computer adaptive testing and nine or even four items may be used to develop a simplified screening tool for DSM-V major depressive disorder (MDD). Further examination of this item bank should be conducted in different cultural settings.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3109\/00048674.2011.596477","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,8,31]],"date-time":"2011-08-31T11:51:47Z","timestamp":1314791507000},"page":"846-852","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Redefining Diagnostic Symptoms of Depression Using Rasch Analysis: Testing an Item Bank Suitable for DSM-V and Computer Adaptive Testing"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"45","author":[{"given":"Alex J.","family":"Mitchell","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Leicestershire Partnership Trust, Leicester, LE5 4PW, UK"},{"name":"Department of Cancer Studies and Molecular Medicine, Leicester Royal Infirmary, Leicester, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adam B.","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"York Health Economics Consortium, University of York, York, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zerak","family":"Al-salihy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St Andrew's Healthcare Group, Northampton, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Twana A.","family":"Rahim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Hawler Medical University, Erbil, Iraq"},{"name":"Psychiatry Unit, Hawler Teaching Hospital, Erbil, Iraq"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mahmud Q.","family":"Mahmud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Azadi Medical Centre, Erbil, Iraq"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Asma S.","family":"Muhyaldin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tairawa Health Centre, Erbil, Iraq"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,10,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-00048674.2011.596477","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(09)60879-5"},{"key":"bibr2-00048674.2011.596477","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mpr.138"},{"key":"bibr3-00048674.2011.596477","first-page":"97","volume":"8","author":"Alhasnawi S","year":"2009","journal-title":"World Psychiatry"},{"key":"bibr4-00048674.2011.596477","volume-title":"Screening for depression: systematic evidence review number 6","author":"Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality","year":"2002"},{"key":"bibr5-00048674.2011.596477","volume-title":"Depression: core interventions in the management of depression in primary and secondary care","author":"National Institute for Clinical Excellence","year":"2004"},{"key":"bibr6-00048674.2011.596477","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1503\/cmaj.1030823"},{"key":"bibr7-00048674.2011.596477","unstructured":"New Zealand Guidelines Group.
