TI  - DSM-IV obsessive-compulsive personality disorder: prevalence in patients with 
      anxiety disorders and in healthy comparison subjects.
PG  - 325-32
AB  - The relationship between obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and 
      obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) has not yet been fully 
      clarified. The aim of the present study was to analyze DSM-IV OCPD prevalence 
      rates in OCD and panic disorder (PD) patients to test for the specificity of the 
      OCPD-OCD link, and to compare them to OCPD prevalence in a control group of 
      subjects without any psychiatric disorder. A total of 109 patients with a 
      principal diagnosis of DSM-IV (SCID-I) OCD and 82 with PD were interviewed using 
      the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis II Disorders (SCID-II) in order 
      to assess the prevalence of OCPD. All patients with a coexisting axis I diagnosis 
      were excluded from the study to eliminate confounding factors when evaluating the 
      association between prevalence rates of OCPD and anxiety disorder diagnoses. An 
      exclusion criteria was also a Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D) score 
      >/=16. A sample of comparison subjects (age 18 to 65 years) without any 
      psychiatric disorder was recruited from people registered with two general 
      practitioners (GPs), whether or not they consulted the doctor, in order to 
      evaluate OCPD prevalence rate in the community. A significant difference was 
      found between the prevalence of OCPD in OCD (22.9%) and in PD (17.1%) on one 
      hand, and that in the comparison sample (3.0%) on the other. No differences were 
      found between the two psychiatric groups, even when splitting the samples 
      according to gender. Our study failed to support the hypothesis of a specific 
      relationship between OCPD and OCD; we confirmed the higher prevalence rate of 
      this personality disorder in OCD subjects with regard to the general population, 
      but we also confirmed the higher rate of OCPD in another anxiety disorder which 
      is phenomenologically well characterized and different from OCD, such as PD.
