Martin CM, et al. - Researchers examined the accuracy of the Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) and the Menopause Quality of Life Questionnaire (MENQOL) to distinguish women suffering from anxiety (AD) and depression disorder (DD) in a cohort of 416 women aged 45 to 65 years. Plotting receiver operator curves, they identified moderate accuracy of MRS and MENQOL in discriminating menopausal women with symptoms of anxiety and depression. Individuals with anxiety or with a likelihood to develop AD were accurately identified using the items MRS6 (AUC: 0.773; 95% CI: 0.721-0.824) and MENQOL5 (AUC: 0.772; 95% CI: 0.723-0.822). To discriminate individuals with DD, the items MRS4 (AUC: 0.771; 95% CI: 0.625-0.797) and MENQOL8 (AUC: 0.744; 95% CI: 0.668-0.821) appeared suitable.
