“…There is no agreement regarding the meaning and definitions of acute and short-lived psychoses (F23). Scandinavian (Retterstol, 1986), African (Guinness, 1992), American (APA, 1994) and the ICD-10 (WHO, 1992) concepts of these psychoses differ. Our findings agree with previous observations of low diagnostic stability for non-schizophrenic and affective psychoses (Stanton and Joyce, 1993).…”

This study examines the stability of ICD-10 diagnoses of patients admitted to Al Ain (United Arab Emirates) inpatients psychiatric unit during the period from November 1993 to August 1995. Diagnostic stability is a measure of the degree to which diagnoses remained unchanged at a later hospital admission. One hundred and seven patients were admitted more than once during this period, accounting for 168 readmissions. High levels of diagnostic stability were found for ICD-10 Fl-psychiatric disorders (100%), F2-schizophrenia (87%), F3-bipolar disorders (87%) and F3-depressive disorders (73%). A poor level of stability was found for patients with neurotic, stress related and adjustment disorders (F4), ranging from zero for somatoform disorders to 50% for generalized anxiety and panic disorders. Poor levels of stability were also found for other psychoses (excluding schizophrenia and affective psychoses) and personality disorders. We conclude that the introduction of ICD-10 as a formal diagnostic system has greatly improved the temporal stability of the most commonly encountered psychiatric disorders (ICD-10 Fl to F3 disorders), confirming the construct validity of those psychiatric disorders. Further investigations are required to evaluate the diagnostic stability of neurotic and other psychotic disorders.

“…This is also compatible with the Scandinavian tradition. In contrast to K. Schneider [2], the Scandinavian concept of schizophrenia, often referred to as 'nuclear schizophrenia' or 'process schizophrenia' [31], is narrower because it usually considers schizophrenia as a chronic disorder, separate from reactive psychoses [4,32].…”

On the Descriptive Validity of ICD-10 Schizophrenia: Empirical Analyses in the Spectrum of Non-Affective Functional Psychoses

et al. 2003

In order to examine the descriptive validity of ICD-10 schizophrenia, 1,476 consecutively admitted in-patients were included in the present study. ICD-10 schizophrenia (n = 951) was compared with other non-affective psychotic disorders [persistent delusional disorders (n = 51), acute and transient psychotic disorders (n = 116) and schizoaffective disorders (n = 354)] with respect to sociodemographic, symptomatological and other clinical parameters. Analyses revealed that it is possible to distinguish schizophrenia from other non-affective psychotic disorders according to ICD-10 criteria: schizophrenic patients were characterised by more pronounced negative symptoms and a lower global functioning. They were younger than patients with persistent delusional disorders and schizoaffective disorders but older than patients with acute and transient psychotic disorders. The results are in line with a high descriptive validity of ICD-10 schizophrenia and highlight the importance of negative symptoms for this diagnosis.

“…Dabei muss festgestellt werden, dass ein Teil von eigentlichen Psychosen, wie man sie bei BPS findet, bzw. die man differenzialdiagnostisch erwägen muss, eben nicht Schizophrenien sind, sondern zykloide, oneiroide, Glücks-Angst-Psychosen, ¹funktionelle Psychosenª [9,10]. Insgesamt wird die BPS heute möglicherweise auch überdiagnostiziert [11].…”
