In this study, we analyzed T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data from 830 patients with MDD and 771 healthy controls (HCs) obtained from the REST-meta-MDD Project. Individual R2SNs were constructed using the Brainnetome atlas, and group differences in regional mean connectivity strength (RMCS) were assessed with general linear models (GLMs). We further applied partial least squares regression (PLSR) with leave-one-out cross-validation to evaluate the predictive ability of RMCS for Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-17 (HAMD-17) scores. Compared with HCs, patients with MDD exhibited significantly lower RMCS in cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical (CSTC) regions, including the middle and inferior frontal gyrus, precentral gyrus, superior temporal gyrus, postcentral gyrus, lateral occipital cortex, hippocampus, and caudate nucleus. Subgroup analyses revealed that patients with recurrent MDD showed reduced RMCS in the right dorsal caudate nucleus when compared with HCs, whereas first-episode drug-naïve (FEDN) patients did not. Moreover, the PLSR model demonstrated that RMCS significantly predicted HAMD-17 scores. Together, these findings highlight abnormalities in structural covariance networks in MDD, particularly within CSTC pathways, and underscore the potential of R2SN as a biomarker to guide individualized diagnosis and treatment planning in MDD.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8543,"journal":{"name":"Asian journal of psychiatry","volume":"115 ","pages":"Article 104785"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145676160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It further investigates the optimal cutoff score and screening accuracy of this questionnaire for both primary and secondary screening of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study recruited a total of 575 Chinese children, including 106 children with ASD, 117 children with non-ASD neurodevelopmental disorders, and 352 typically developing children. The Chinese version of the ASDQ retained the original 9-factor model of the ASDQ, with 39 items in total. The reliability test results indicate that the Cronbach's α for internal consistency reliability was 0.944. In split-half reliability, the Cronbach's α for the first half was 0.878, while that for the second half was 0.916. The ICC coefficient for test-retest reliability was 0.917. Validity test results showed that the I-CVI for each item ranged from 0.857 to 1.000. In convergent validity, the AVE values for each factor ranged from 0.513 to 0.763; In discriminant validity, the square root of the AVE for each factor exceeded the maximum correlation coefficient with other factors; criterion-related validity analysis revealed that the absolute values of correlation coefficients <em>ρ</em> between the Chinese version of the ASDQ scores and criterion scales ranged from 0.615 to 0.889, all statistically significant. The results of the screening accuracy study showed that the optimal screening cutoff score for the primary screening was 2.49. For the secondary screening, the optimal cutoff score was 2.82. Research has found that the Chinese version of the ASDQ has good reliability and validity, demonstrating high screening accuracy in the detection of ASD. The Chinese version of ASDQ as an effective screening tool for ASD has high clinical application value and public health research value.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8543,"journal":{"name":"Asian journal of psychiatry","volume":"115 ","pages":"Article 104790"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145621624","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
