背景。 OPCRIT（一套允许数据输入并根据 12 个操作诊断系统生成诊断的计算机程序）广泛用于精神病学研究，包括欧洲科学基金会和 NIMH 在精神障碍分子遗传学方面的研究计划。我们在 100 名收集双相情感障碍和精神分裂症关联研究的受试者中检查了其同时有效性。方法。我们将 OPCRIT 根据两位经过培训的临床医生评估的数据生成的诊断与由相同的两位评估者根据 DSM-III-R 和 RDC 分类根据共识、最佳估计、终生程序做出的诊断进行比较。结果。 OPCRIT 诊断与共识最佳估计程序做出的诊断之间取得了良好到极好的一致性。结论。 OPCRIT 提供了一种方便、可靠、快速且有效的多诊断评估方法，可用作传统（但耗时）最佳估计共识诊断程序的辅助手段。
Background. OPCRIT (a suite of computer programs that allow data entry and generate diagnoses according to 12 operational diagnostic systems) is used in a wide range of psychiatric research including both European Science Foundation and NIMH research initiatives in the molecular genetics of mental disorders. We examined its concurrent validity in 100 subjects collected for linkage studies of Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia.Method. We compared diagnoses generated by OPCRIT from data rated by two trained clinicians with diagnoses made according to consensus, best-estimate, lifetime procedures by the same two raters according to DSM-III-R and RDC classifications.Results. Good to excellent agreement was achieved between OPCRIT diagnoses and those made by consensus best-estimate procedures.Conclusions. OPCRIT provides a convenient, reliable, rapid and valid approach to polydiagnostic assessment that can be used as an adjunct to conventional (but time consuming) best-estimate consensus diagnostic procedures.
