- Abstract
<bold>Background and Objectives: </bold>Since significant differences have been reported, we estimated agreement between DSM-5 and DSM-IV criteria for alcohol use disorder (AUD).<bold>Methods: </bold>We assessed 327 outpatients (mean age: 45.2 ± 13.4) with depressive or anxiety disorders.<bold>Results: </bold>Absolute differences in prevalence rates between DSM-5 and DSM-IV AUD ranged from -1.1% (subjects with anxiety disorders) to +1.8% (tobacco smokers). The agreement was excellent (k = 0.88), also accounting for specific subgroups (relevant k coefficients >0.80).<bold>Discussion and Conclusions: </bold>DSM-5 criteria did not inflate AUD rates.<bold>Scientific Significance: </bold>Our results have epidemiological significance since, unlike previous reports, we found diagnostic stability between new and old AUD criteria in this clinical population.
