Adjustment disorder has been recategorized as a trauma- and stressor-related disorder in DSM-5. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of adjustment disorder in the first 12 months after severe injury; to determine whether adjustment disorder was a less severe disorder compared with other disorders in terms of disability and quality of life; to investigate the trajectory of adjustment disorder; and to examine whether the subtypes described in DSM-5 are distinguishable.
In a multisite, cohort study, injury patients were assessed during hospitalization and at 3 and 12 months postinjury (N=826). Structured clinical interviews were used to assess affective, anxiety, and substance use disorders, and self-report measures of disability, anxiety, depression, and quality of life were administered.
The prevalence of adjustment disorder was 19% at 3 months and 16% at 12 months. Participants with adjustment disorder reported worse outcomes relative to those with no psychiatric diagnosis but better outcomes compared with those diagnosed with other psychiatric disorders. Participants with adjustment disorder at 3 months postinjury were significantly more likely to meet criteria for a psychiatric disorder at 12 months (odds ratio=2.67, 95% CI=1.59-4.49). Latent-profile analysis identified a three-class model that was based on symptom severity, not the subtypes identified by DSM-5.
Recategorization of adjustment disorder into the trauma- and stressor-related disorders is supported by this study. However, further description of the phenomenology of the disorder is required.
在 DSM-5 中,适应性障碍已被重新归类为与创伤和应激相关的障碍。本研究旨在确定严重损伤后 12 个月内适应性障碍的患病率;确定与其他障碍相比,在残疾和生活质量方面,适应性障碍是否为一种较不严重的障碍;调查适应性障碍的轨迹;并检验 DSM-5 中描述的亚型是否可区分。
在一项多地点、队列研究中,在住院期间以及损伤后 3 个月和 12 个月对损伤患者进行评估(N=826)。使用结构化临床访谈评估情感、焦虑和物质使用障碍,并使用残疾、焦虑、抑郁和生活质量的自我报告措施进行评估。
适应性障碍的患病率为 3 个月时为 19%,12 个月时为 16%。与无精神科诊断的患者相比,患有适应性障碍的患者报告的结局较差,但与被诊断为其他精神科障碍的患者相比,结局较好。在损伤后 3 个月患有适应性障碍的患者在 12 个月时更有可能符合精神科障碍的诊断标准(优势比=2.67,95%CI=1.59-4.49)。潜在剖面分析确定了一种基于症状严重程度而非 DSM-5 中确定的亚型的三分类模型。
本研究支持将适应性障碍重新归类为与创伤和应激相关的障碍。然而,需要进一步描述该障碍的表现。
