Results: The best cutoff point was 8/9. Sensitivity 90.07o and specificity 86.2oh for anxiety and sensitivity 93.2"h and specificity 90.8"/o for depression was detected Conclusion: Malay version of HADS showed a good sensitivity and specificity and therefore is valid instrument for use in a Malaysia population.
