Methods We enrolled 159 patients with a BMI > 35 Kg/m2 and
obesity-related comorbidities (females = 71.3%; age range = 18-35
years) at the C.A.S.C.O. (EASO COMs) of our University Hospital.
They filled out the Binge Eating Scale (BES), the SymptomChecklist-
90-R (SCL-90-R), and the Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36).
We used Tukey’s multiple comparison test to assess Quality of Life
(QoL) improvement after TPE and multivariate logistic regression
to estimate the size of the association between TPE and the afore-
mentioned factors.
Results The SF-36 showed a significant improvement (P < 0.05)
of physical and mental QoL post-TPE, especially in obese patients
without binge eating disorder. The same applied to BES and SCL-90-
R scores. The factors predicting TPE success were a short duration
of obesity, a limited number of past diets, and low levels of anxi-
ety/depression pre-TPE.
Conclusions In obese patients candidates for bariatric surgery,
TPE is useful to improve physical and mental QoL, eating behav-
ior, and psychological status. Several factors are predictive of TPE
success, allowing a personalization of the intervention to render it
more effective.

Introduction The Family Assessment Device (FAD) is a self-report
questionnaire, developed to assess the six dimensions of the
McMaster Model of family functioning. It has been translated to
the Greek language but never validated.
Aims and objectives To evaluate the psychometric properties of
the Greek version of FAD in a non-clinical sample.
Methods In a sample of Greek families, FAD was administered
together with the already validated Family Adaptability and Cohe-
sion Evaluation Scale (FACES-III). In a subsample of 96 participants,
the scales were administered again after 1 month.
Results A sample of 453 participants (194 children and 259 par-
ents) had completed both questionnaires (151 families). Mean age
of children was 23.62 (SD: 6.35), 68 (35%) were males. Mean age
of parents was 51.4 (SD: 8.2), 117 (45.2%) males. All subscales of
FAD had significant correlation (concurrent validity) with FACES-
III (n = 453, P < 0.001). Test-retest reliability range from 0.58 to 0.82
(n = 96, P< 0.001). Internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha) range
from 0.47 to 0.94. A model with the 6 factors had a good statis-
tical fit but not all the items were loading in the same components
as from the theory assumed.
Conclusions The Greek FAD has good psychometric properties,
although its factor structure might differ from the original version.
Further evaluation of the Greek version of FAD in other settings
and in different samples especially clinical remains a task for future
research.

Objectives The Bipolar Depression Rating Scale (BDRS) is a scale
for assessment of the clinical characteristics of bipolar depression.
The primary aims of this study were to describe the development
of the Korean version of the BDRS (K-BDRS) and to establish more
firmly its psychometric properties in terms of reliability and valid-
ity.
Methods The study included 141 patients (62 male and 79
female) who had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, were cur-
rently experiencing symptoms of depression, andwere interviewed
using the K-BDRS. Other measures included the Montgomery and
Asberg Depression Scale (MADRS), the 17-item Hamilton Depres-
sion Scale (HAMD), and the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS).
Additionally, the internal consistency, concurrent validity, inter-
rater reliability, and test-retest reliability of the K-BDRS were
evaluated.
Results The Cronbach’s -coefficient for the K-BDRS was 0.866,
the K-BDRS exhibited strong correlations with the HAMD
(r = 0.788) and MADRS (r = 0.877), and the mixed symptoms
score of the K-BDRS was significantly correlated with the YMRS
(r = 0.611). An exploratory factor analysis revealed three factors
that corresponded to psychological depressive symptoms, somatic
depressive symptoms, and mixed symptoms.
Conclusions The present findings suggest that the K-BDRS has
good psychometric properties and is a valid and reliable tool for
assessing depressive symptoms in patients with bipolar disorder.
