To estimate the prevalence and possible under-diagnosing of substance use disorders and to consider factors that might influence diagnosing of substance use disorders.
Data collected from case records and PSE interviews of psychiatric in-patients from 12 psychiatric departments in Denmark admitted during October 1996 were compared with data from the Danish Psychiatric Register.
A substantially lower prevalence of substance use diagnoses were found in the register (26.1%) than in the research data (50.0%). A high prevalence of co-occurrence between substance use disorders and mental disorders other than substance use disorders was found (37.3%). In the majority of cases knowledge of the substance use disorders was present in the case records, although they had not resulted in a diagnosis.
The under-diagnosis of substance use disorders is due not only to concealed diagnostic signs and symptoms but also to an under-diagnosis by the psychiatrists, in spite of the fact that information on the substance use was accessible.
评估物质使用障碍的患病率及可能存在的诊断不足情况,并探讨可能影响物质使用障碍诊断的因素。
将1996年10月丹麦12个精神科收治的住院精神科患者的病例记录和PSE访谈收集的数据与丹麦精神病学登记册的数据进行比较。
登记册中物质使用障碍的患病率(26.1%)显著低于研究数据中的患病率(50.0%)。发现物质使用障碍与非物质使用障碍的精神障碍共病率很高(37.3%)。在大多数病例中,病例记录中存在物质使用障碍的相关信息,尽管这些信息并未导致诊断。
物质使用障碍的诊断不足不仅是由于隐匿的诊断体征和症状,还由于精神科医生的诊断不足,尽管有关于物质使用的信息可供获取。
