Depressive Disorders in Childhood: II. A Longitudinal Study of the Risk for a Subsequent Major Depression
Abstract
As part of a longitudinal nosologic study of major depressive disorder, dysthymic disorder (DD), and adjustment disorder with depressed mood ( ADDM ) in a school-aged cohort, the predictive validity of each diagnosis was examined. Using all available data on the course of the disorders, the criterion was the first subsequent major depressive episode. Major depressive disorder and DD signaled a similarly high risk of a new bout of depressive illness. For the children who recovered from their first episode of major depression and then had their second one (40%), the free interval did not exceed two years; an underlying dysthymia increased the risk of recurrence. Major depression and dysthymia were distinct from ADDM and a set of control disorders; the latter two diagnostic groups were associated with a minimal risk for major depression.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
