TABLE 3.

Comparison of episode duration within BP-NOS.

	Episode Duration	Comorbidity Rate^† %	Total SDQ Symptom Score^‡	Total SDQ Impact Score^‡
Parent-based diagnosis of BP-NOS	1hour – 1day n=44	72	20.4 (6.2)	3.2 (2.3)
Parent-based diagnosis of BP-NOS	1 day – 3 days n=14	71	20.4 (6.5)	2.0 (1.9)
		χ² = 0.02, p=0.96	t=-0.033, df=56, p=0.97	t=-1.74, df=56, p=0.09
Youth-based diagnosis of BP-NOS	1hour – 1day n=36	33	15.6 (5.0)	1.3 (1.6)
Youth-based diagnosis of BP-NOS	1 day – 3days n=12	46	17.6 (6.1)	1.7 (2.1)
		χ² = 0.68, p=0.41	t=-1.1, df=46, p=0.27	t=-0.68, df=46, p=0.50

The two different episode categories comprising BP-NOS are compared for each parent and youth report. The comorbidity (overlap with other DSM-IV disorder) rates are presented as percentages;
