Summary of all scales used in LuBi and their interpretation

Questionnaires Auto-Q (A) or Hereto-Q (H) N of items Interpretation
YMRS (H) 11 Scoring: the total score results from the addition of item scores (0–60)
Total score:
≥21=mania
12–20=hypomania
8–11=subsyndromic hypomania
0–7=no hypomania
MADRS (H) 10 Scoring: the total score results from the addition of item scores (0–60)
Total score:
35–60=severe depression
20–34=moderate depression
7–19=mild depression
0–6=euthymia
CGI (H) 3 Scoring of the severity of psychopathology (0–7): CGI-Severity (CGI-S)
Scoring of improvement after treatment has been initiated (0–7): CGI-Improvement (CGI-I)
Therapeutic Index (1–16)
C-SSRS (H) 10 Scoring: suicidal ideation: A “yes” answer at any time during treatment to any one of the five suicidal ideation questions (Categories 1–5)
Suicidal behavior: A “yes” answer at any time during treatment to any one of the five suicidal behavior questions (Categories 6–10).
Suicidal Ideation Score: the maximum suicidal ideation category (1-5 on the C-SSRS) present at the assessment.
Score of 0 if no ideation is present.
No serious suicidal ideation (scores of 0–3)
Serious suicidal ideation (scores of 4–5)
QIDS-SR-16 (A) 16 Scoring: the total score (0–27) results from the addition of the following scores: [Maximum of (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4)]+Q5+[Maximum of (Q6, Q7, Q8, Q9)]+Q10+Q11+Q12+Q13+Q14+[Maximum de (Q15, Q16)]
Total score:
21–27: very severe depression
16–20: severe depression
11–15: moderate depression
6–10: mild depression
0–5: no depression
Altman (A) 5 Scoring: the total score results from the addition of item scores (0–20).
Total score:
≥6: high probability of (hypo)manic episode
≤5: low probability of (hypo)manic episode
PSQI (A) 19 Scoring: the total score results from the addition of the 7 component scores (0–21)
19 items generate seven “component” scores: subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, use of sleeping medication, and daytime dysfunction.
Total score: >5=poor sleep quality
CSM (A) 13 Scoring: the total score results from the addition of item scores (13–55)
Score ≤30=evening phase preference
Score ≥45=morning phase preference
CTI (A) 11 Stability of sleep patterns (flexibility/rigidity scale, FR score) and amplitude of circadian rhythms (languid/vigorous scale, LV score)
Scoring: FR score=items 2+4+6+8+10 (5–25)
LV score=items 1+3+5+7+9+11 (6–30)
FR: elevated score=more flexible
LV: elevated score=more languid
ESS (A) 8 Scoring: the total score results from the addition of the 8 items (0–24)
Score >10=daytime sleepiness
Score ≤10=no daytime sleepiness
SPAQ (A) 17 Question 11 assess 6 instinctual functions (sleep, social activities, mood, weight, appetite, energy) in relation to seasonal effects, scored each from 0 to 4.
Scoring: The Global Seasonality Score (GSS) is the total sum of the 6 items on Question 11 (0–24)
Score 0=no seasonality
24=extreme seasonality
Question 17, the degree of problems associated with seasonal changes.
GSS ≥11+score on Q.17 of moderate or greater = indicative of seasonal affective disorder (SAD)
Berlin (A) 9 Categories and scoring:
Category 1: items 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Item 1: if ‘Yes’, assign 1 point
Item 2: if ‘c’ or ‘d’ is the response, assign 1 point
Item 3: if ‘a’ or ‘b’ is the response, assign 1 point
Item 4: if ‘a’ is the response, assign 1 point
Item 5: if ‘a’ or ‘b’ is the response, assign 2 points
→ Add points. Category 1 is positive if the total score is 2 or more points
Category 2: items 6, 7, 8 (item 9 should be noted separately).
Item 6: if ‘a’ or ‘b’ is the response, assign 1 point
Item 7: if ‘a’ or ‘b’ is the response, assign 1 point
Item 8: if ‘a’ is the response, assign 1 point
→ Add points. Category 2 is positive if the total score is 2 or more points
Category 3 is positive if the answer to item 10 is ‘Yes’ OR if the BMI of the patient is greater than 30 kg/m2.
High Risk: if there are 2 or more Categories where the score is positive
Low Risk: if there is only 1 or no Categories where the score is positive
Acceptabilité (A) 2 Scoring of 0 to 5 about the acceptability of the device.
A qualitative evaluation is also proposed.
