: This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of Ulsan University Hospital (IRB No. 2023-10-014), and the procedures followed were in accordance with the principles of the 1964 Helsinki Declaration and its later amendments. The requirement for informed consent was waived because of the retrospective nature of the study, and patient identities were maintained anonymously. The K-BDI-II incorporating the standardized scale questionnaire since August 1, 2020 has been officially integrated into the medical insurance fee as outlined in the Ministry of Health and Welfare’s directive No. 2020–163 in South Korea. At our healthcare institution, we utilize the Korean version of the K-BDI-II provided by the Korean Psychology Corporation. We use this version for assessments, billing purposes, and the results are transcribed and attached to the medical records after score conversion. The result form captures details such as the name, gender, age, and examination date of the respondent. Each page of the questionnaire explicitly notes that all rights are reserved by Aaron T. Beck. The medical institution claims the comprehensive fee code, 너701나FY752060, covering the cost of the BDI-II for the subjects, and receives reimbursement from the National Health Insurance.
