Translating the BDI and BDI-II into the HAMD and vice versa with equipercentile linking.

CONCLUSIONS: The results can help clinicians interpret the HAMD or BDI scores of their patients in a more versatile manner and also help clinicians and researchers evaluate such scores reported in the literature or the database, when scores on only one of these scales are provided. We present a conversion table for future research. PMID: 30867082 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
