This study aimed to evaluate the psychometrics of the Rating of Eating Disorder Severity Interview for Children (REDS-C) and compare it with the Eating Disorder Inventory-2 symptom index.
The psychometrics of the REDS-C were analyzed utilizing data from 336 patients, of ages 8 to 18 years. Receiver operator curve analyses were performed to evaluate the ability of the REDS-C and the Eating Disorder Inventory-2 symptom index to discriminate severity of eating disorder symptoms in relationship to an objective standard, defined as hospitalisation for medical stabilisation beyond 1 week.
Three factors were identified using 14 of the 16 original REDS-C items. Resulting subscales demonstrated acceptable reliability and validity. The receiver operator curve results demonstrated the usefulness of the 14-item version of the REDS-C in predicting hospitalisation greater than 7 days as an indicator of symptom severity.
The 14-item REDS-C is a reliable tool to assist clinicians in evaluating the severity of eating disorder symptoms in children and adolescents.
本研究旨在评估儿童饮食障碍严重程度访谈量表(REDS-C)的心理计量学特性,并将其与饮食障碍量表-2 症状指数进行比较。
利用来自 336 名 8 至 18 岁患者的数据,分析了 REDS-C 的心理计量学特性。使用受试者工作特征曲线分析评估了 REDS-C 和饮食障碍量表-2 症状指数在与客观标准(定义为因医疗稳定需要住院超过 1 周)相关的饮食障碍症状严重程度方面的区分能力。
使用 REDS-C 的 16 个原始项目中的 14 个项目确定了三个因素。由此产生的分量表表现出了可接受的信度和效度。受试者工作特征曲线结果表明,14 项 REDS-C 版本在预测住院时间超过 7 天作为症状严重程度的指标方面具有实用性。
14 项 REDS-C 是一种可靠的工具,可以帮助临床医生评估儿童和青少年饮食障碍症状的严重程度。
