摘要

Background

Existing depression assessment tools inadequately detect rapid symptom changes after antidepressant treatments. This study aimed to translate, validate, and explore the clinical application of the Chinese version of the McIntyre and Rosenblat Rapid Response Scale (CMRRRS) for use during the treatment of rapid-onset depression.

Methods

The McIntyre and Rosenblat Rapid Response Scale was translated and culturally adapted for use in Chinese settings. Briefly, 71 patients with major depressive disorder who were receiving intravenous esketamine were assessed using the CMRRRS and other validated scales. Properties were examined, including internal consistency, construct validity, and responsiveness to change. For patient classification, Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) and Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) curves were used. The Minimum Clinically Important Difference was computed to explore the smallest change related to clinical improvement.

Results

The CMRRRS showed high reliability and robust validity. Factor analysis explained over 60% of the total variance. LPA distinguished three patient classes, while KDE curves determined that a cut-off of 5 points was optimal for detecting clinically meaningful changes.

Conclusion

The CMRRRS is a reliable, valid, and sensitive tool for monitoring rapid symptom changes in patients with depression treated with esketamine. It allows real-time symptom monitoring and personalized treatment adjustments. Further studies are warranted to explore its broader applicability.
