[Agreement between clinical evaluation and structured clinical interviews (SCID for DSM-IV) in morbidly obese pre-bariatric surgery patients]. / Übereinstimmung zwischen klinischer evaluation und strukturiertem klinischen interview (SKID für DSM-IV) bei schwer adipösen Patientinnen und Patienten vor adipositaschirurgischen Massnahmen.

The goal of the study was to determine the concordance between mental disorder assessed during clinical evaluation and those independently obtained by a SCID interview in morbidly obese patients prior to bariatric surgery. In 116 patients a SCID interview was conducted. The agreement was moderate for any current diagnosis (kappa 0.43) current affective disorder (kappa 0.41) and current eating disorders (kappa 0.47). For current anxiety disorders agreement was poor wit a kappa of 0.11. For anxiety disorders and eating disorders the use of SCID resulted in more diagnoses than did standard clinical evaluation. Generally, the SCID produced more current axis 1 diagnoses than the clinical evaluation. When conducting a clinical evaluation prior to bariatric surgery a structured clinical interview should be used to assess mental co-mobidity.
