Die geschlechtsspezifischen Assoziati- onen mit der vorhandenen Depressivitat bei Patienten mit akuter schizophrener Storung konnen dazu beitra- gen, die Erkennung, Diagnostik und auch die Therapie dieser wichtigen Symptomkomponente zu verbessern. Abstract: This clinical study analyzed gender-spe- cific relationships of depression with other psycho- pathological and clinical variables in hospitalized patients with schizophrenia. During clinical routine treatment, 119 inpatients with acute schizophrenia (DSM-IV) were investigated with the Calgary De- pression Rating Scale for Schizophrenia (CDSS), the Clinical Global Impression Scale (CGI), and the Posi- tive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). Depres- sion scores of 77 male and 42 female patients (mean age 31.6 ± 10.3 years) were related to background variables and to positive and negative symptom scores. Mean CDSS (5.8 ± 5.6) and PANSS scores (to- tal 76.9 ± 22.1, positive symptoms 17.6 ± 7.6, negative symptoms 20.5 ± 7.8) were not significantly different between males and females. In females, depression was independently associated with higher negative symptom scores (p < 0.01) and younger age (p < 0.05) whereas in males positive symptoms (p < 0.05) and short hospitalization (p < 0.05) were the main factors associated with depression. The study revealed gen- der-specific differences in the relationship of depres- sion with negative and positive symptoms which could help detect, diagnose and treat this important symptom component of schizophrenia.
