The Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) was originally conceived to assess psychopathology in several psychiatric disorders, making it an appropriate candidate to be used as a transdiagnostic instrument. We analyzed the utility and validity of the BPRS in a diagnostically heterogeneous sample of 600 psychiatric inpatients. As a comparator, we chose the mini-ICF-APP, a scale used to measure functioning and impairment across the diagnostic spectrum. Both scales had good internal consistency. The BPRS and the mini-ICF-APP showed a moderate correlation, with good levels of agreement. We were able to identify general symptoms present across the diagnostic spectrum, influencing severity and a cluster of symptoms specific for each diagnosis. Our results show the utility and validity of the BPRS as a transdiagnostic assessment tool that could easily be introduced in routine clinical work.
简明精神病评定量表（BPRS）最初是为了评估几种精神障碍中的精神病理学而设计的，因此它是一种合适的跨诊断工具候选者。我们分析了 BPRS 在 600 名精神科住院患者的诊断异质样本中的实用性和有效性。作为比较，我们选择了 mini-ICF-APP，这是一种用于测量整个诊断范围内功能和障碍的量表。这两个量表都具有良好的内部一致性。BPRS 和 mini-ICF-APP 显示出中等相关性，具有良好的一致性水平。我们能够识别出跨诊断谱存在的一般症状，这些症状影响严重程度和每个诊断的一组特定症状。我们的结果表明 BPRS 作为一种跨诊断评估工具具有实用性和有效性，它可以很容易地引入常规临床工作中。
