Reliability of the KIDIES for diagnosing pervasive developmental disorder in children
Abstract:
The Kiddie-Infant Descriptive Instrument for Emotional States (KIDIES), a new instrument that uses affective and behavioral dimensions for categorization, was compared with DSM-III-R criteria to assess diagnostic reliability in childhood pervasive developmental disorder (PDD). Forty-two children with PDD and other developmental disorders were evaluated. Their diagnoses were based on DSM-III-R criteria. Subjects were videotaped during interviews with three different partners and rated using the KIDIES. Cluster analysis of KIDIES ratings revealed a significant correlation with DSM-III-R diagnostic categories, demonstrating the potential reliability of the KIDIES dimensional approach for diagnosing PDD in preschoolers.

Factors Affecting Renal Clearance: Renal Impairment
One condition associated with renal failure is uremia. Uremia is characterized by impaired glomerular filtration and fluid accumulation in the body. This condition hinders the renal clearance of drugs, resulting in drug accumulation and potential...
