Rm. Wrate et al., PSYCHOSOCIAL ADVERSITY IN AN ADOLESCENT-PSYCHIATRY INPATIENT COHORT -WHO ICD-10 FINDINGS FROM A MULTICENTER PROSPECTIVE-STUDY, Social psychiatry and psychiatric epidemiology, 30(1), 1995, pp. 5-13
Sixteen Axis 5 ICD-10 codes were applied to a prospective multicentre
study of 276 adolescent psychiatric inpatients. Frequency distribution
s were obtained for the whole cohort and separately for each of the se
ven main ICD-9 psychiatric diagnoses. Certain abnormal psychosocial si
tuations were associated with particular diagnoses, and many significa
nt correlations were found between Axis 5 codes. Factor analysis with
varimax rotation produced four factors accounting for 46% of the total
variance.
