“…This case rule was originally developed for the SCL-90-R and subsequently recommended for the BSI and BSI-18, though the manual does not present any empirical support for the case-rule as applied to the BSI-18. Following common practice for the BSI (e.g., Brown, Whiteley, Harper, Nichols, & Nieves, 2015; Endermann, 2005) users of the BSI-18 in oncology (Merport & Recklitis, 2012; Michel et al, 2010; Zabora et al, 2001; Zeltzer et al, 2009) and other populations (Hart et al, 2014; Hopp, Anderson, Krumholz, Gruber-Baldini, & Shulman, 2012; Mustanski, Garofalo, Herrick, & Donenberg, 2007; Petkus et al, 2010) commonly define overall significant symptoms on the BSI-18 using the GSI scale alone, classifying respondent with GSI t-score ≥ 63 as having clinically significant symptoms. Both the published BSI-18 case-rule criteria (t-score score ≥ 63 on the GSI, or any two of symptom scales) and the conventional case-rule of GSI t-score ≥ 63 were evaluated in this study.…”

The Brief Symptom Inventory-18 (BSI-18) is widely used to assess psychological symptoms in cancer survivors, but the validity of conventional BSI-18 cut-off scores in this population has been questioned. This study assessed the accuracy of the BSI-18 for identifying significant anxiety and depression in young adult cancer survivors (YACS), by comparing it to a “gold standard” diagnostic interview measure. Two hundred and fifty young adult cancer survivors (YACS), age 18–40 completed the BSI-18 and the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID) interview assessing anxiety and depressive disorders. BSI-18 results were compared to SCID criteria using ROC analyses. Forty-four participants (17.7%) met criteria for ≥ 1 SCID diagnoses, and an additional 20 (8.0%) met criteria for clinically significant SCID symptoms without a diagnosis. General concordance between the BSI-18 GSI scale and SCID diagnosis was good (AUC = 0.848), but the two most widely used BSI-18 case-rules failed to identify a majority of survivors with SCID diagnoses, and no alternative BSI-18 cut-off scores met study criteria for clinical screening. Analyses aimed at identifying survivors with significant SCID symptoms or a SCID diagnosis had similar results, as did analyses examining depression and anxiety separately. The BSI-18 shows good overall concordance with a psychiatric interview, but recommended cut-off scores fail to identify a majority of YACS with psychiatric diagnosis. Clinicians should not rely on the BSI-18 alone as a screening measure for YACS. Alternative BSI-18 scoring algorithms optimized for detecting psychiatric symptoms in YACS may be an important step to address this limitation.
