Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Psychometric Evaluation

Background:

  • Catatonia is a complex psychomotor syndrome requiring accurate diagnostic tools.
  • The Catatonia Rating Scale (CRS) is a clinician-administered instrument designed for assessing catatonia.
  • Establishing the reliability of the CRS is crucial for its clinical utility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present comprehensive reliability data for the Catatonia Rating Scale (CRS).
  • To evaluate the interrater and internal consistency reliability of the CRS.
  • To support the use of the CRS as a dependable diagnostic tool for catatonia.

Main Methods:

  • The CRS, a 21-item clinician-administered scale, was used.
  • Reliability was assessed in 120 inpatients, with 71 diagnosed with catatonia.

  • Four pairs of raters evaluated the scale, and data were analyzed for interrater and internal consistency.

    • Main Results:

    • High interrater reliability was observed (Pearson's r = .91–.99; ICC = .94–.99).
    • Excellent internal consistency was found, with Cronbach's alpha = .8890.
    • All individual items were frequently endorsed across a wide severity range.

    Conclusions:

    • The Catatonia Rating Scale (CRS) is a reliable instrument for the diagnosis of catatonia.
    • The scale's high reliability supports its use in clinical practice and research.
    • The CRS facilitates consistent assessment and diagnosis of catatonic symptoms.
