Assessment

Primary outcomes

Estimated overall prevalence of probable GAD (GAD-7 score => 10) in general internal medicine clinics.

Key secondary outcomes

1) Estimated prevalence of probable GAD according to sex, age, primary diagnosis, cohabiting family status, marital status and years of education.
2) EQ-5D-5L, PHQ-9 and AIS scores in the probable GAD and non-GAD groups.
3) Comparison of EQ-5D-5L and AIS scores across four groups defined by GAD-7 and PHQ-9 scores:
Group1: probable GAD only (GAD-7 score => 10, PHQ-9 score < 10)
Group2: probable major depressive disorder (MDD) only (GAD-7 score < 10, PHQ-9 score => 10)
Group3: comorbid probable GAD and MDD (GAD-7 score => 10, PHQ-9 score => 10)
Group4: neither probable GAD nor MDD (GAD-7 score < 10, PHQ-9 score < 10
4) Primary diagnoses and treatment details (types/generic name of prescribed psychotropic medications and other medications that may be used in the treatment of psychiatric disorders, generic names of Kampo medications used for psychiatric symptoms) in the probable GAD and non-GAD groups.
5) Correlation between GAD-7 scores and other symptom scales (PHQ-9 and AIS).
6) Distribution of GAD-7 severity categories: mild (5-9), moderate (10-14), and severe (15-21)
7) Identification of factors associated with probable GAD using logistic regression analysis.
