title: [Diagnostics with the MINI-plus in acute psychiatry].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Little is known about diagnostic procedures in acute psychiatry.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the applicability of a structural diagnostic instrument in this setting and compare the results with clinical judgement.
  
  
  METHODS
  The assessment was based on the mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview-plus.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There was poor agreement between the mini-plus diagnosis and clinical judgement and co-morbidity was under-reported.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  There is a need for a structural diagnostic instrument and more attention must be given to clinical diagnostic procedures in acute psychiatry.
