The authors sought to identify diagnostic criteria that are relatively specific to borderline personality disorder in severely ill adolescent inpatients and that may predict a stable borderline personality disorder during this turbulent time. Twenty-one adolescent inpatients with borderline personality disorder were contacted 2 years after the index hospitalization (baseline). Seven of these patients met criteria for borderline personality disorder at follow-up. The ability of baseline criteria for borderline personality to predict the diagnosis of borderline personality disorder at follow-up was determined. Criteria for borderline personality disorder were sensitive for the stable disorder but not very specific. Without follow-up data, the diagnostic significance of symptoms of borderline personality disorder in adolescents appears uncertain.
作者试图确定在重症青少年住院患者中相对特定于边缘性人格障碍的诊断标准，这些标准可能预测在这个动荡时期的稳定边缘性人格障碍。在首次住院（基线）2年后联系了21名患有边缘性人格障碍的青少年住院患者。其中7名患者在随访时符合边缘性人格障碍的标准。确定了边缘性人格障碍的基线标准预测随访时边缘性人格障碍诊断的能力。边缘性人格障碍的标准对稳定障碍敏感，但特异性不强。没有随访数据，青少年边缘性人格障碍症状的诊断意义似乎不确定。
