The aims of this study were to scrutinize the overlapping and distinct characteristics of ED for internalizing, externalizing and neurodevelopmental disorders and to identify the most pertinent ED characteristics to guide clinicians in treatment choice.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Information on clinical diagnosis (Attention Deficit\/Hyperactivity Disorder ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder\/Conduct Disorder, Anxiety and Mood Disorders), ED (measured by the CBCL-Emotion Dysregulation Index), Quality of Life (Qol, measured by the Kidscreen-27), and treatment duration (measured by Electronic Health Records) was retrieved from two large samples of toddlers (1.5\u20135 \u2009year old; <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20091,544) and school aged children (6\u201318\u2009year old; <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20097,259). Frequency scores and logistic regression were used to study symptom profiles of ED, as measured with CBCL-EDI, across all disorders. Linear regression was used to determine the predictive value of ED (CBCL-EDI total score) regarding QoL and treatment duration in addition to\u2014and in interaction with\u2014clinical diagnosis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Across disorders, equal levels of total ED were found, which predicted lower QoL and a longer treatment duration in addition to clinical diagnosis. The majority of items (11\/15 and 16\/18) were of equal relevance to the disorders; items that were not, largely reflected disorder specific DSM definitions (i.e., externalizing symptoms in ODD\/CD and internalizing symptoms in Anxiety and Mood disorders).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>ED is a clinically useful cross-disorder trait to predict severity of impairment as well as required treatment duration. In addition, ED is largely composed of shared features across disorders, with certain disorder specific colored elements.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyt.2023.1101226","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,21]],"date-time":"2023-07-21T06:28:49Z","timestamp":1689920929000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Emotion dysregulation as cross-disorder trait in child psychiatry predicting quality of life and required treatment duration"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Margreet","family":"Bierens","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Catharina A.","family":"Hartman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Helen","family":"Klip","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stijn","family":"Deckers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jan","family":"Buitelaar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nanda","family":"Rommelse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"133","DOI":"10.1111\/jcpp.12899","article-title":"Practitioner review: emotional dysregulation in attention-deficit\/hyperactivity disorder \u2013 implications for clinical recognition and intervention","volume":"60","author":"Faraone","year":"2019","journal-title":"J.
