“…These data reflect the frequency of ICD-10 diagnoses in the clinical practice of a university psychiatric department. Compared with other psychiatric hospitals in Germany [18], a higher frequency of patients with schizoaffective disorders and a lower one of patients with schizophrenia was found. This difference may be due to the special conditions of a university psychiatric department.…”

In order to examine the descriptive validity of ICD-10 schizophrenia, 1,476 consecutively admitted in-patients were included in the present study. ICD-10 schizophrenia (n = 951) was compared with other non-affective psychotic disorders [persistent delusional disorders (n = 51), acute and transient psychotic disorders (n = 116) and schizoaffective disorders (n = 354)] with respect to sociodemographic, symptomatological and other clinical parameters. Analyses revealed that it is possible to distinguish schizophrenia from other non-affective psychotic disorders according to ICD-10 criteria: schizophrenic patients were characterised by more pronounced negative symptoms and a lower global functioning. They were younger than patients with persistent delusional disorders and schizoaffective disorders but older than patients with acute and transient psychotic disorders. The results are in line with a high descriptive validity of ICD-10 schizophrenia and highlight the importance of negative symptoms for this diagnosis.

“…ATPD is a common psychiatric diagnosis in Europe (Healy et al 2001; Lange et al 2002) as well as in developing countries (Okasha et al 1993). In recent years there has been an increasing interest in ATPD (Jorgenson et al 1997;Marneros et al 2002;Pillmann et al 2001Pillmann et al , 2002Sajith et al 2002).…”

Background: ICD-10 introduced a new diagnostic category, F23 ‘acute and transient psychotic disorders’ (ATPD), to embrace clinical concepts such as bouffée délirante, cycloid psychosis, psychogenic (reactive) psychosis and schizophreniform psychosis. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the concept of reactive psychosis (RP), equivalent to the ICD-8 298 category of ‘other psychoses’, and ATPD. Sampling and Method: Since January 1, 1994, ICD-10 has replaced ICD-8 as official classification in Denmark. Patients given an ICD-8 298 diagnosis on their last admission in 1992–1993 were identified from the Danish Psychiatric Central Register, and the ICD-8 diagnoses assigned were compared with their ICD-10 diagnoses when readmitted in 1994–1995. Results: Diagnosis of RP was recorded in 19.2% of patients with functional psychoses in 1992–1993, whereas ATPD overall prevalence accounted for 8.7% of those with non-organic psychotic and affective disorders in 1994–1995. Thirty-eight per cent of patients with an ICD-8 298 diagnosis were readmitted during the years 1994–1995. Schizophrenia and related disorders (F2) and affective disorders (F3) accounted for three quarters of ICD-10 diagnoses. The most frequently used ATPD subcategories were F23.3 ‘other acute delusional psychotic disorders’, F23.0 ‘acute polymorphic psychotic disorder without symptoms of schizophrenia’ and F23.9 ‘acute and transient psychotic disorder unspecified’. A significant majority were female and associated acute stress was recorded only in 5.3% of cases. Conclusions: ICD-8 298 register diagnosis of RP showed little empirical continuity to ATPD and conformed more to F23.3 acute delusional disorder among ATPD subtypes.
