AB  - BACKGROUND: Personality disorders (PD) lead to frequent emergency department (ED) 
      visits. Existing studies have evaluated high-risk ED populations in Western 
      settings. PD screening tools, such as the Standardized Assessment of Personality 
      - Abbreviated Scale (SAPAS), have thus far only been validated in Western 
      populations. AIMS: This study aimed to establish the screened prevalence of PD, 
      and to evaluate the performance of the SAPAS as a screening tool within an ED 
      setting in India. METHODS: The study took place in the ED of a private 
      multi-speciality hospital in Kolkata, India. All attendees were approached during 
      two days per week over three months, except those who were medically unfit to 
      participate. The SAPAS and the International Personality Disorder Examination 
      (IPDE) were translated into Bengali and then used as screening tools for PD and 
      as the reference standard for PD diagnosis. RESULTS: Out of 120 ED attendees 
      approached, 97 participated (48 men and 49 women), of whom 24% met the criteria 
      for a diagnosis of PD. A cut-off score of 4 on the SAPAS provided the best 
      trade-off between sensitivity and specificity for detecting PD. CONCLUSION: The 
      prevalence of PD was similar to Western samples, and the SAPAS showed promise for 
      use in a non-Western setting.
