AB  - The multiaxial system (MAS) of ICD-10, chapter V (F) consists of three axes: axis 
      I, clinical syndromes (psychiatric disorders including personality disorders and 
      somatic diseases); axis II, disabilities; axis III, environmental/circumstantial 
      and personal life-style/life management factors. Results of a multicentric field 
      trial evaluating a preliminary draft of the MAS are presented. 45 raters in seven 
      German centers made 488 ratings on 12 written case histories. With a mean kappa 
      of 0.50 for 3-character diagnoses interrater reliability for axis I was moderate 
      although lower than expected from previous field trials. On axis II the WHO 
      Disability Diagnostic Scale (WHO-DDS) was compared to the Global Assessment of 
      Functioning (GAF) used in DSM-III-R and DSM-IV. For both scales the intraclass 
      correlation coefficient showed a moderate interrater reliability (WHO-DDS = 0.62; 
      GAF = 0.65). On axis III the number of relevant psychosocial circumstances coded 
      by the different raters varied greatly. Interrater reliability was very poor with 
      kappa values ranging from 0.03 to 0.55 for the different categories and an 
      overall kappa of 0.16.
