Abstract

Objective: The diagnostic concordance of the interview (EDE) and questionnaire (EDE‐Q) versions of the Eating Disorder Examination was examined. Method: Two‐hundred seventeen patients seeking eating disorder treatment completed the EDE and EDE‐Q before beginning treatment. Diagnostic algorithms were generated for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition, text revision (DSM‐IV‐TR) and proposed Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM‐5) criteria using data first from the EDE and then from the EDE‐Q; thus, each participant received four diagnoses. Results: The sensitivity of the EDE‐Q for individual diagnoses ranged from 27.8% to 84.3% (DSM‐IV‐TR) and from 36.8% to 80.8% (DSM‐5). The specificity of the EDE‐Q for individual diagnoses ranged from 71.1% to 98.5% (DSM‐IV‐TR) and from 77.3% to 98.0% (DSM‐5). The overall diagnostic concordance was moderate (κ = .57–.60). Discussion: The proposed DSM‐5 criteria improved the diagnostic concordance of the two instruments and reduced the prevalence of Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (EDNOS). However, concordance improvement was modest and both instruments still diagnosed most respondents with EDNOS. © 2011 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. (Int J Eat Disord 2011;45:850–855)

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.
