Reference values were higher in women than in men, implying the use of sex-specific cut-off values. Substantial non-response and limited generalizability.įor the BDI-II, IDS-SR and MADRS a comprehensive set of reference values were provided. For years the question has been: Who betrayed Anne Frank Nobody has ever known for sure how the Frank family was discovered in their upstairs hideaway in Amsterdam in August of.
Internal consistency was excellent for total scores and satisfactory for all subscales, except for the IDS-SR subscale Atypical Characteristics. Anne Frank May Not Have Been Betrayed After All.
But two police investigations - one immediately after the war and another in the 1960s - turned up nothing and Van Maaren died in 1971 professing his innocence. He was married on Octoin Rotterdam to Wilhelmina Johanna Kleij. For decades suspicion centred on a man called Willem Van Maaren, who worked in the warehouse attached to the Franks hiding place. He was married on Septemin Rotterdam to Maria Jacoba Lena Ponse, they had 3 children. The discriminative power of the BDI-II, IDS-SR and MADRS scores was very high. Willem van Maaren was born on Septemin Rotterdam, son of Jan van Maren and Maria Doorneveld. ROC analyses yielded almost equal reference values. Cut-off (P95) values differed for women and men, being respectively 15 and 12 for the BDI-II, 23 and 18 for the IDS-SR, and 12.5 and 9 for the MADRS. The mean age was 40.3yr (SD=12.6) and 39.3 (SD=12.3) for the ROM reference and patient-groups, respectively, and 62.8% versus 61.0% were female. Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) analyses were used to yield alternative cut-off values. The outermost 5% of observations were used to define limits for one-sided reference intervals (95th percentiles P95). We included 1295 subjects from the general population (ROM reference-group) recruited through general practitioners, and 4627 psychiatric outpatients diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) or dysthymia (ROM patient-group). We aimed to generate reference values for both "healthy" and "clinically depressed" populations. The Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), the Inventory of Depressive Symptoms (self-report) (IDS-SR) and the Montgomery-Äsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) are questionnaires that assess symptom severity in patients with a depressive disorder, often part of Routine Outcome Monitoring (ROM).
