Ψυχομετρικές ιδιότητες της Ημι-δομημένης Ψυχιατρικής Διαγνωστικής Συνέντευξης για Παιδιά και Εφήβους Kiddie – Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia – Present and Lifetime version (K-SADS/PL-DSM-5) σε ελληνικό πληθυσμό
Translated title:
Psychometric properties of Semi-structural Psychiatric Diagnostic Interview of Children and Adolescents Kiddie – Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia – Present and Lifetime version (K-SADS/PL-DSM-5) in greek population
Summary:
The Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia, Present and Lifetime version (K-SADS-PL), is one of the most well-known and widely used psychiatric interviews for children and adolescents. In order to keep the instrument in line with the DSM-5, the Greek translation of the interview (K-SADS/PL-DSM 4) was updated and evaluated.
Data from 113 files of children and adolescents aged 7-17 years were used to complete the updated interview (K-SADS/PL-DSM-5) and to calculate inter-rater reliability and consensual validity. Concurrent validity to CDI, as well as the sensitivity, specificity and positive / negative prognostic value for the diagnostic categories of depressive disorders were also calculated.
Inter-rater reliability was good to excellent (k = 0.72-0.84, p <0.001) for all diagnoses. Kappa value for consensual validity had a range k = 0.49-0.82, with the majority of diagnoses showing excellent agreement (k> 0.75). Also, concurrent validity with CDI, as well as sensitivity(88,6%),specificity(79,2%),positive(86,1%) and negative(82,6%) prognostic value for the diagnostic categories of Major Depression and Dysthymia, was very good.
Τhe present study showed that the Greek version of K-SADS / PL-DSM-5 is a valid and reliable instrument, which can be used adequately to diagnose several major psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents. Nevertheless, more studies are needed to confirm our findings.
