Test-Retest Reliability of a standardized psychiatric interview (DIS/CIDI)

Abstract: The reliability of DSM-III diagnoses using an expanded version of the Diagnostic Interview Schedule (DIS), called the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI), was evaluated by examining 60 psychiatric inpatients on a test-retest basis. Acceptable agreement coefficients of (kappa) 0.5 or above were found for all but two disorders: dysthymic disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. The subclassification of DSM-III affective disorders also revealed some discrepancies between the test and the retest … Show more

“…11 Several studies have examined recall of anxiety and depressive symptoms during periods of 6 months to 5 years. [22][23][24][25][26][27] Those studies all report inconsistencies in recall similar to those described here. Recall of past depressive symptoms was greater for more recent symptoms 25 and higher among patients with current depressed mood.…”

“…This difference in methodology (which reduces the clinical variability) could explain why the kappa values were higher. The overall reliability of the instrument for "lifetime" diagnoses (κ = 0.94) was higher than the average values reported in the literature, which ranged from 0.60 to 0.93 (15)(16)(17). No studies were found in the available literature describing the overall reliability value for the 12-month diagnoses in order to make a comparison with that of the present study (κ = 0.84).…”

“…Further, these results show that the respondents were grasping the concepts. The values also indicate that these results are as reliable as those obtained in some medical examples such as knowledge of breast removal, heart conditions and psychiatric diagnoses (Helzer, 1983;Semler et al, 1987;Wittchen et al, 1989). In fact, our values may be as good as they can get for the sample size, and may be further improved with a greater number of users.…”
