This paper reviews the literature on the use of rating scales within the treatment of the alcohol-withdrawal syndrome. A computer-assisted literature search identified trials of therapy for and rating scales used in alcohol-withdrawal states. Eighteen rating scales were identified. There is a wide variation in symptom items included in these scales. Scales also vary in their length and ease of application. We conclude that it is important to use validated and reliable assessment scales in research if proper comparisons of treatments for the alcohol-withdrawal syndrome are to be made.
本文回顾了有关在酒精戒断综合征治疗中使用评定量表的文献。一项计算机辅助文献检索确定了酒精戒断状态的治疗试验及所使用的评定量表。共识别出18种评定量表。这些量表所包含的症状条目差异很大。量表在长度和应用的难易程度上也有所不同。我们得出结论,如果要对酒精戒断综合征的治疗进行恰当比较,那么在研究中使用经过验证且可靠的评估量表很重要。
