The Illness Behavior Assessment Schedule: reliability and validity. 1983

I Pilowsky, and D Bassett, and R Barrett, and L Petrovic, and R Minniti

A patient's illness behavior represents an important component of any clinical presentation, and may in itself be pathological. Illness behavior and abnormal illness behavior are not easily evaluated, and considerable disagreement exists as to the criteria for making diagnoses such as "conversion reaction," "hypochondriacal reaction," etc. This paper describes the background, reliability and validity of the Illness Behavior Assessment Schedule (IBAS) which has been developed as a basis for a systematic and standardized approach to illness behavior.

D003095 Collagen Diseases Historically, a heterogeneous group of acute and chronic diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, progressive systemic sclerosis, dermatomyositis, etc. This classification was based on the notion that "collagen" was equivalent to "connective tissue", but with the present recognition of the different types of collagen and the aggregates derived from them as distinct entities, the term "collagen diseases" now pertains exclusively to those inherited conditions in which the primary defect is at the gene level and affects collagen biosynthesis, post-translational modification, or extracellular processing directly.
