Abstract

A computer programme (DPAX) was constructed for a longitudinal study of psychiatric epidemiology in Stirling County (Canada). It identifies disorders involving the syndromes of depression and anxiety based on responses given in structured questionnaire interviews. The programme follows a diagnostic algorithm that uses criteria for: (1) essential features; (2) number, frequency, and pattern of associated symptoms; (3) impairment; and (4) duration. The programme reproduces case evaluations provided by psychiatrists, as conveyed by a sensitivity of 92% and a specificity of 98%.

摘要

为加拿大斯特林县的一项精神病流行病学纵向研究构建了一个计算机程序（DPAX）。它根据结构化问卷调查访谈中的回答来识别涉及抑郁和焦虑综合征的疾病。该程序遵循一种诊断算法，该算法使用以下标准：（1）基本特征；（2）相关症状的数量、频率和模式；（3）损害；以及（4）持续时间。该程序再现了精神科医生提供的病例评估，敏感度为92%，特异度为98%。
