TI  - Obsessive-compulsive symptom dimensions in Japanese tourette syndrome subjects.
PG  - 296-303
AB  - OBJECTIVES: To investigate the current and lifetime frequency and severity of 
      obsessive-compulsive (OC) symptom dimensions in Tourette syndrome (TS) patients, 
      and how these dimensions affect clinical characteristics. METHODS: Forty TS 
      outpatients (29 males, 11 females) were interviewed with the Dimensional 
      Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (DY-BOCS), the Yale Global Tic Severity 
      Scale (YGTSS), the Shapiro Tourette Syndrome Severity Scale, and the Global 
      Assessment of Functioning (GAF). RESULTS: OC symptoms were present in 80% of the 
      total sample. The miscellaneous and the symmetry dimensions were the most 
      frequent at the "current" and "lifetime" surveys, respectively. The aggression 
      dimension had the smallest difference between "worst ever" and current ratings 
      among the all OC symptom dimensions. TS patients with the aggression dimension 
      (n=7) had significantly lower scores in the GAF scale and higher frequencies of 
      coprolalia. There were significant correlations between the YGTSS severity scores 
      and specific DY-BOCS dimensions. CONCLUSION: OC symptoms are frequent in TS 
      subjects and there were differences in the frequency, severity, and course of the 
      OC symptom dimensions. These results emphasize the need for future longitudinal 
      studies using a dimensional approach for the evaluation of OC symptoms in tic 
      disorders.
