We investigated our translation of The Mood Disorder Questionnaire (MDQ) as a screening instrument for bipolar disorder in a psychiatric setting in Finland.
In a pilot study for the Jorvi Bipolar Study (JoBS), 109 consecutive non-schizophrenic psychiatric out- and inpatients in Espoo, Finland, were screened for bipolar disorder using the Finnish translation of the MDQ, and 38 of them diagnostically interviewed with the SCID.
Forty subjects (37%) were positive in the MDQ screen. In the SCID interview, twenty patients were found to suffer from bipolar disorder, of whom seven (70%) of ten patients with bipolar I but only two (20%) of ten with bipolar II disorder had been previously clinically correctly diagnosed. The translated MDQ was found internally consistent (alpha 0.79) and a feasible screening tool.
Bipolar disorder, particularly type II, remains commonly unrecognized in psychiatric settings. The Mood Disorder Questionnaire is a feasible screen for bipolar disorder, which could well be integrated into psychiatric routine practice.
我们在芬兰的一家精神病院研究了将心境障碍问卷(MDQ)作为双相情感障碍筛查工具的翻译版本。
在约尔维双相情感障碍研究(JoBS)的一项试点研究中,使用MDQ的芬兰语翻译版本对芬兰埃斯波连续109名非精神分裂症的精神科门诊和住院患者进行双相情感障碍筛查,其中38人接受了用《精神障碍诊断与统计手册》第四版轴I障碍定式临床访谈量表(SCID)进行的诊断性访谈。
40名受试者(37%)在MDQ筛查中呈阳性。在SCID访谈中,发现20名患者患有双相情感障碍,其中10名双相I型障碍患者中有7名(70%)、10名双相II型障碍患者中只有2名(20%)此前得到了临床正确诊断。发现翻译后的MDQ具有内部一致性(α系数为0.79),是一种可行的筛查工具。
双相情感障碍,尤其是II型,在精神科环境中仍普遍未被识别。心境障碍问卷是双相情感障碍的一种可行筛查工具,很适合纳入精神科常规诊疗中。
