精神科住院病人診斷的改變-追踪研究

An Analysis of Diagnostic Changes on Psychiatric Inpatients: A Follow-Up Cases Study

摘要


台大醫院精神科住院病患有1,768人次,其中95人(5.7%)住院二次以上,而95人中的15人(15.8%)在另一次的住院有診斷的改變。深入的臨床研究分析,顯示診斷的改變主要在於:(1)個案:一個個案可以同時有多種的疾病和診斷,引起臨床的複雜性。(2)消息:未從多個層面-情感、行為、認知和一般生理狀態,判斷個案的精神病理。(3)觀察:記錄未標準化,而且所用症狀描述的詞語定義不清。(4)時間:過於重視橫斷面的變化,忽略縱的臨床過程。(5)準則:太過強調思考障礙此類症狀,造成診斷的偏頗。

並列摘要


The total number of psychiatric inpatients admitted to National Taiwan University hospital from 1972 to 1982 is 1768, of which 95 (5.7%) are multiple admission. Diagnostic changes occur in 15 of the 95 patients, that is 15.8%. According to original diagnoses, these 15 cases may be divided into four groups. In Group A, 5 were schizophrenia, of which 4 were re-diagnosed to be manic-depressive psychosis (MDP), and 1 to be atypical psychosis. In Group B, 3 were MDP, 2 of which became schizophrenia, and 1 atypical psychosis. Group C had 2 neurosis cases, which were changed to schizophrenia and MDP. In Group D, 5 received the diagnosis of ”other psychosis,” of which 2 turned out to be schizophrenia, 2 MDP, and 1 paranoid state. Upon close clinic analysis, five major causes for the alteration in diagnosis were found.1. Subject: A case may have multiple illnesses, the fact that complicates diagnosis.2. Information: The psychopathology does not have wide enough coverage to include multiple factors such as affect, behavior, cognition, and drive.3. Observation: The description in the case records is often imprecise.4. Time: Apparently too much emphasis was placed on the cross-section changes and not enough on the changes in clinical course.5. Criteria: An over-emphasis on thought disorder often led to inaccurate diagnosis.
