Analysis of Consistency Between Forensic Psychiatric Evaluation Diagnosis and Previous Clinical Psychiatric Diagnosis: A Retrospective Study by Li M, Cao Y, Wang X, Li L, Wu C, Yi X, Wang K, Zheng H, Liu Y, Xiong Z, Gong J, Ji Q

“…Diagnostic agreement was evaluated using the kappa coefficient.Results: (1) Among 78 cases, 43 had a history of mental illness, with a prevalence rate of 55.13%; (2) The evaluation diagnosis was consistent with the previous diagnosis in 12 cases (27.91%) and inconsistent in 31 cases (72.09%), with Kappa=0.243 (P< 0.05), indicating poor consistency; (3) Schizophrenia (21 cases, 48.84%) and mood disorders (14 cases, 32.56%) were the most common in previous diagnoses; (4) Evaluation diagnoses were mainly no mental illness (38 cases, 48.72%) and physiological passion (8 cases, 10.26%).Conclusion: In criminal cases where the forensic evaluation diagnosis is no mental illness, the consistency between the evaluation diagnosis and the previous diagnosis is low, which is closely related to the differences in thinking patterns and assessment focus between forensic evaluation and clinical diagnosis. …”
