Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was used to examine the presence of depression. The BDI standard score were categorized into 4 which are no symptom of depression (0–9), symptom of mild depression (10–15), moderate depression (16–23), and severe depression (24–63). This inventory system was proven to be valid while used in Indonesia to detect depression (Suwantara, Lubis, & Rusli, 2005).

The present study gathers results obtained in the treatment of 86 depressed outpatients. The patients were grouped according to their distal colon tone, low-IT, and high-IT. All the patients fulfilled the RDC for nonpsychotic unipolar major depressive disorders and were rated on a slightly modified 18-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRS). They also completed the 21-item self-rating Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). The 46 subjects from the high-IT group and the 40 subjects from the low-IT group were divided into 3 subgroups each for doubleblind trials performed with CMI, IMI, and FENF. Normalization of HRS and BDI scores and reduction of IT were obtained with IMI and FENF but not CMI in high-IT patients; whereas normalization of both scores and increase in IT were obtained with CMI but not with IMI or FENF in low-IT patients. FENF was not tolerated in this last group. HRS and BDI scores correlated well during in-treatment periods. Our results suggest that distal colon tone is a guide to determining the pharmacotherapy in the depressive disorders. Furthermore, it was shown that FENF is a useful antidepressant drug in one type of patient.

This research will be conducted after obtaining approval from the Research Ethics Committee at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sumatera Utara. Subjects meeting the inclusion- exclusion criteria, will be interviewed with Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) techniques, version ICD-10 (A1). If the subjects who meet the criteria have a tendency towards depression they will then be asked to complete an informed consent form. After obtaining a detailed and clear explanation on participation in this research, the subjects were asked to give information regarding their identity and demographic characteristics. The research subjects were then asked to complete the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI- II) questionnaire consisting of 21 questions. After completion, all the questionnaires were collected and the data analysis performed.

Two standardized measures of health status, the EQ-5D-5L (EuroQol-5-dimension-5-level) and the EQ-VAS (EuroQol Visual Analogue Scale), as well as the ALSAQ-40 will be completed at all in-clinic visits except week 4. The BDI-FS (Beck Depression Inventory-Fast Screen) will be assessed at all in-clinic study visits. Time spent in each stage according to the Milano-Torino Staging (MiToS) system and number of participants whose transition stages over the course of the trial were selected as exploratory endpoints based on a post hoc analysis of the 12-week treatment period of FORTITUDE-ALS, which suggested that patients randomized to reldesemtiv may be at reduced risk for transitioning to a later stage (16). Given the mechanism of action of reldesemtiv, it may be more likely to delay complete functional loss as measured by MiToS than delay progression of signs and/or symptoms of upper or lower motor neuron manifestations into a new region as measured by King’s staging (16). Prespecified endpoints are summarized in Table 5.

The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) is perhaps one of the most frequently used assessments of depressive symptoms.55,56 It is a self-assessment instrument to measure depressive symptoms in non-clinical and psychiatric populations.57 The conception of the BDI base on the assumption that negativity distorted cognitions are the core characteristic of depression. The BDI contains 21 items assessing depressive symptoms within the preceding week, to which the respondent refers using a 4-point scale (from 0 = no depression symptom to 3 = severe symptoms). Higher scores are reflecting greater severity of depressed mood (range = 0–63). The score below 8 points indicates no depression symptoms; a range between 9–18 points diagnoses mild depression, scores between 19–26 points mean moderate depression, and 27–63 severe depression.58,59 A meta-analysis of the BDI's internal consistency revealed that a mean Cronbach's α is .86 for psychiatric patients and .81 for non-clinical samples.60 The internal consistency coefficient in the present study is high (Cronbach's α = .91).

Depression was assessed by the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), which is composed of 21 items, and the scores for each item range from 0 to 3 points. The individual item scores were summed to obtain the final score. Scores less than 10 corresponded to the absence of depression, scores between 10 and 16 corresponded to mild to moderate depression, scores between 17 and 29 corresponded to moderate to severe depression, and scores higher than 30 corresponded to severe depression (Gorenstein and Andrade, 1996, 1998). The psychometric properties of the Brazilian Portuguese version of the assessment tool showed adequate internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = 0.88 for depressive patients and α = 0.81 for nonpsychiatric participants). For the construct validity, a good correlation between the BDI and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (r = 0.86, p < .0001) and a moderate correlation between the BDI and the 21-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression [HAM-D] (r = 0.53, p < .0001) were observed (Gorenstein and Andrade, 1996, 1998).
