OBJECTIVES: There have been no consistent reliable and valid tool for examining the psychosocial problems for the patients with mental disorders in Korea. The purpose of the present study is to develop a scale that examine the psychosocial problems for the patients with mental disorders and to test its reliability and validity. METHODS: To identify the psychosocial problems for 1,100 patients with mental disorders were selected in university hospitals and professional training institutes. And the items of the psychosocial problems were taken from them and divided them into individual and environmental categories. The representative items were established among these items of psychosocial problems and a questionnaire for a pilot study was made based on the representative items. The pilot study was done for 306 patients with mental disorders using the questionnaire to investigate reliability of the questionnaire. After the pilot study items and format of the questionnaire were revised and complemented. The revised questionnaire was given to 600 patients with mental disorders to test its validity and reliability and new scale for psychosocial problems was developed. RESULTS: At the pilot study, which was performed with 1,100 patients, 3,200 items of psychosocial problems of 205 types were selected. Among these items 78 representative psychosocial problems items were withdrawn. Fifty-eight psychosocial problem items were finally set for the questionnaire after discussing them with the expert groups and examining its content reliability. Forty-seven psychosocial problems items were finally selected and given to 306 subjects at the pilot study. At the main study in which 600 subjects were tested inner-reliability. Correlation between items and scale was relevant and correlation coefficient between test and retest was high. The finally developed psychosocial problems testing scales were consisted of 46 testing items into 9 areas. CONCLUSION: The Psychosocial Problems Assessment Scale, which were developed at this study is proved to be valid and reliable and it will be able to be used to examine overall psychosocial problems for the patients with mental disorders in Korea.

Purpose: This study aimed to develop a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)–based radiomics model to predict high-risk pathologic features for lung adenocarcinoma: micropapillary and solid pattern (MPsol), spread through air space, and poorly differentiated patterns. Materials and Methods: As a prospective study, we screened clinical N0 lung cancer patients who were surgical candidates and had undergone both 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography–computed tomography (PET/CT) and chest CT from August 2018 to January 2020. We recruited patients meeting our proposed imaging criteria indicating high-risk, that is, poorer prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma, using CT and FDG PET/CT. If possible, these patients underwent an MRI examination from which we extracted 77 radiomics features from T1-contrast-enhanced and T2-weighted images. Additionally, patient demographics, maximum standardized uptake value on FDG PET/CT, and the mean apparent diffusion coefficient value on diffusion-weighted image, were considered together to build prediction models for high-risk pathologic features. Results: Among 616 patients, 72 patients met the imaging criteria for high-risk lung cancer and underwent lung MRI. The magnetic resonance (MR)–eligible group showed a higher prevalence of nodal upstaging (29.2% vs. 4.2%, p < 0.001), vascular invasion (6.5% vs. 2.1%, p=0.011), high-grade pathologic features (p < 0.001), worse 4-year disease-free survival (p < 0.001) compared with non-MR-eligible group. The prediction power for MR-based radiomics model predicting high-risk pathologic features was good, with mean area under the receiver operating curve (AUC) value measuring 0.751-0.886 in test sets. Adding clinical variables increased the predictive performance for MPsol and the poorly differentiated pattern using the 2021 grading system (AUC, 0.860 and 0.907, respectively). Conclusion Our imaging criteria can effectively screen high-risk lung cancer patients and predict high-risk pathologic features by our MR-based prediction model using radiomics.
