Multiaxial diagnostic ratings of inpatients at the Department of Psychiatry in Lund - Individuals with the diagnosis severe depression/melancholia

Between 1949 and 1969, a multiaxial diagnostic schedule was used to rate all inpatients at the Department of Psychiatry, University Hospital Lund, Sweden. The ratings were made at discharge of the patients and were performed by senior psychiatrists with at least three years of training. The rating schedule was developed by Professor Erik Essen-Möller and consisted of one symptomatic or syndromatic part and one aetologic part. The interview consisted of questions about social situation, occupation, physical illness, current medication, course of depression, cause of onset and cause of recovery/remission, treatment, suicide attempts, childhood, alcohol, and so forth. Approximately 7000 individuals were rated with a follow-up on individuals with alcohol problems (n=1312) or the diagnosis severe depression/melancholia (n=1206). The follow-up included data from the patient-records and sometimes personal contact. Purpose: To rate all inpatients at the Department of Psychiatry in Lund according to a multiaxial rating schedule with a symptomatic, a syndromatic and an aetiological part.1949年至1969年间，瑞典隆德大学附属医院（University Hospital Lund）精神科对所有住院患者采用多轴诊断量表（multiaxial diagnostic schedule）进行评估。该评估于患者出院时完成，由至少接受过三年专业培训的资深精神科医师实施。 该评估量表由埃里克·埃森-默勒（Erik Essen-Möller）教授研发，包含症状/综合征维度与病因学维度两部分。访谈内容涵盖社会处境、职业状况、躯体疾病、当前用药、抑郁病程、起病诱因与缓解/康复诱因、治疗情况、自杀未遂史、童年经历、饮酒情况等。 本数据集共计纳入约7000名接受评估的个体，并对其中存在酒精相关问题（n=1312）或确诊重度抑郁/忧郁症（severe depression/melancholia，n=1206）的受试者开展随访。随访数据来源于患者病历，部分通过与受试者的当面访谈获取。 研究目的：采用包含症状、综合征及病因学维度的多轴评估量表，对隆德大学附属医院精神科的所有住院患者进行标准化评估。
