Four studies on the inter-rater reliability of a proposed Axis V version for DSM-IV and of the CGAS involving 162 child and adolescent patients and 20 clinicians showed moderate agreement (intraclass correlation: 0.53-0.66). This was comparable to previous versions of Axis V, but lower than that reported for the CGAS. More detailed description of anchor points did not increase reliability nor there were differences in agreement when rating current or previous functioning.
Juvenile OCD can be treated effectively in a standard clinical setting. Treatment programs of the kind described are accepted by young people. It remains to be seen whether in this age group a combined treatment produces better results than medication alone or cognitive-behaviour therapy alone.
Adolescents (N = 38) who attended a multi modal day program were matched with a control group (N = 35) for age, gender, year of assessment, and on delinquent and aggressive scores. Parent and child were separately interviewed three years after initial assessment. Adolescents who attended the program functioned better overall and were more satisfied with treatment than controls. Both groups showed a poor outcome and a decrease in symptom scores. A diagnosis of conduct disorder, high delinquency scores and high total problem scores predicted a poorer outcome.
The next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the top-bottom interference contribution to H + j production at the LHC are presented. The QCD corrections to the interference are large and similar to the QCD corrections to the top-mediated Higgs production cross section. There is also a significant reduction in the mass-renormalization scheme uncertainty once the NLO QCD prediction for the interference is employed.13th International Symposium on Radiative Corrections
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
