摘要：

Physically ill elderly patients (N = 236) in a geriatric and a general hospital were interviewed with the Geriatric Mental State (GMS) schedule. Psychiatric diagnoses made by the computer programme 'AGECAT' were compared with those made by a psychiatrist who applied DSM-III-R diagnostic criteria to the GMS data. Overall kappa for all diagnostic groups was 0.78. Agreement was excellent for organic diagnoses and good for depression. GMS-AGECAT can be used with confidence to detect common psychiatric disorders in physically ill elderly general and geriatric hospital patients.
