Objectives
This study aimed to examine the prevalence and correlates of lifetime suicide attempts and current suicidal ideation in community-dwelling schizophrenia patients in China.Method
A sample of 540 schizophrenia patients was randomly selected in Beijing, China. All subjects were interviewed using standardized assessment instruments and their basic socio-demographic and clinical data including history of suicide attempts were collected.Results
The prevalence of lifetime suicide attempts and the point prevalence of suicidal ideation were 12.0 %, and 21.1 %, respectively. In multiple logistic regression analyses, the presence of lifetime suicide attempt was independently associated with rural residence, having major medical conditions and better social functioning, while higher likelihood of current suicidal ideation was associated with past suicide attempt, the severity of overall psychopathology and depressive symptoms and lower psychological quality of life (QOL).Conclusion
Among Chinese outpatients with schizophrenia, increased current symptoms and poorer QOL were correlated with current suicidal ideation, while demographic factors and indicators of greater social support were mostly correlated with lifetime suicide attempts. This study may help to identify important subgroups of patients with schizophrenia at particularly high risk of suicidal behavior. 相似文献2.
This study determines the socio-demographic and clinical correlates of suicide attempts in Chinese schizophrenia outpatients and their impact on patients' quality of life (QOL). Two hundred and fifty-five clinically stable schizophrenia outpatients were randomly selected in Hong Kong (HK) and their counterparts matched according to sex, age, age at onset and length of illness were recruited in Beijing (BJ). All subjects at both sites were interviewed by the same investigator using standardized assessment instruments. Basic socio-demographic and clinical data and history of suicide attempts were collected. The lifetime prevalence of suicide attempts was 26.7% in the whole sample and 20% and 33.6% in the HK and BJ samples, respectively. Patients with a history of suicide attempts were less likely to receive depot antipsychotic (AP) medication, more likely to receive clozapine, benzodiazepines (BZD) and higher doses of APs; were younger at onset, had more hospitalizations; had more severe positive, depressive, anxiety and extrapyramidal (EPS) symptoms; were poorer QOL in the physical, psychological, social and environmental domains; and were more likely to be BJ residents. In multiple logistic regression analysis, early age at onset, poor physical QOL, use of clozapine and BZDs, and study site (HK vs BJ) were significant contributors to lifetime suicide attempts. Significant difference was found between matched samples in HK and BJ with respect to suicide attempts. HK is a cosmopolitan city with a Western social structure and mental health system, whereas in BJ more traditional Chinese cultural values predominate, with a mental health policy radically different from that of HK. These differences suggest that socio-cultural factors play a significant role in determining suicide attempts in schizophrenia. 相似文献

The high prevalence of psychoactive substance abuse or dependence among schizophrenic patients has now been well established. Mueser et al. stressed the need to assess the abuse of specific classes of substances and analyse the data accordingly. The objective of this study was to compare the socio-demographic correlates and the clinical features in a group of schizophrenic patients with a lifetime cannabis abuse or dependence according to the DSM III-R with a group of schizophrenic patients who had never presented any abuse or dependence. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: The study included 124 subjects with diagnoses of schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorders according to the DSM III-R. Inclusion criteria for participation in the study were age 18 years or older and willingness to provide consent to participate in the study. The inpatients were evaluated when their condition was stabilised. Assessment tools were the psychoactive substance use disorder section of the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI), the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), the Global Assessment of Functioning Scale (GAF). Subjects with cannabis abuse or dependence during their lifetime were compared with subjects without abuse or dependence, using chi(2) test for categorical variables and analyses of covariance (ANCOVA) for quantitative variables. RESULTS: Forty-nine subjects (42,6%) presented lifetime abuse or dependence on one or more substances. Since 19 patients with alcohol, stimulant, sedative or opiate abuse or dependence were excluded, the study finally included 96 subjects including a first group of schizophrenic patients with cannabis abuse (n=6) or dependence (n=24) and a second group without any psychoactive substance abuse (n=66). Thirteen (11.3%) patients presented cannabis abuse or dependence within the 6 months prior to the assessment. The mean SD age of onset of cannabis abuse or dependence was 19.6 +/- 3.0 years. Cannabis abuse/dependence preceded the first psychiatric treatment in 70% of the subjects (n=21). 83.3% of the schizophrenic patients with cannabis abuse or dependence were male (n=25) compared to 62.1% in the group without substance abuse (n=41) (chi(2)=4.32, df=1, p=0.04). Schizophrenic patients with cannabis abuse were significantly younger (mean age: 28.9 +/- 6.3 vs 37.0 +/- 12.7, ANCOVA, F=7.2, df=1,96 p=0.009). There was no significant difference between the two groups for marital status, (chi(2)=5.34, df=2, p=0.07), level of education, (chi(2)=0.93, df=2, p=0.62) professional status, (chi(2)=8.7, df=5, p=0.11), on PANSS total score (ANCOVA, F=0.42, df=1,93, p=0.52), GAF score (ANCOVA, F=0.06, df=1,92, p=0.80), mean number of hospitalizations (ANCOVA, F=3.25, df=1,85, p=0.08), mean age of first psychiatric contact (ANCOVA, F=0.74, df=1,93, p=0.39), and neuroleptic dosages (ANCOVA, F=0.03, df=1,90, p=0.87). In contrast, the total duration of hospitalization was significantly longer for the group with cannabis abuse. Patients with cannabis abuse were more likely to have an history of suicide attempts than subjects without substance abuse (chi(2)=11.52, df=1, p=0.0007). DISCUSSION: The prevalence rates for substance abuse and the socio-demographic characteristics of the population of our study are consistent with findings of previous studies. Male gender and age were significantly related to history of cannabis abuse or dependence. Cannabis abuse frequently preceded the onset of psychiatric treatment. However, both schizophrenia and substance abuse tend to develop gradually, with no clear demarcation for the onset of schizophrenia. The absence of any link between the scores for the subscales of the PANSS and cannabis abuse, both in our study and in some retrospective previous studies, is not suggestive of cannabis abuse as a self-medication of positive or negative symptoms of schizophrenia. Self-medication could concern other symptoms, such as cognitive deficits. In addition, the hypothesis of self-medication has especially been suggested in cocaine abuse or dependence. Some limitations to this study can be discussed. First, although the recruitment was systematic and done in a public mental health service, the patients of our study are not necessarily representative of all schizophrenic patients. Secondly, as in any retrospective study, the prevalence of lifetime substance abuse may have been under-estimated. Urinary toxicology tests may have been able to improve the sensitivity of the diagnosis of recent substance abuse, but structured interviews are more appropriate for the diagnosis of lifetime substance abuse in schizophrenic patients than urinary toxicology tests. CONCLUSION: The socio-demographic characteristics of cannabis abuse or dependence in schizophrenia are similar to those found in general population. Cannabis using schizophrenic patients were more likely to be younger and male than non users. The duration of hospitalization was significantly longer for the group with cannabis abuse. Prevalence of suicide attempts in schizophrenia is closely correlated to cannabis abuse. 相似文献

Background: Psychiatric community stud- ies are essential for the planning and development of psychiatric services, as well as being
helpful in examining the socio-demographic correlates of mental disorders in a given community. Few such studies have been
carried out to date in the Arabian peninsula. This paper forms part of a multipurpose community psychiatric survey conducted
in A1 Ain in the United Arab Emirates. The findings regarding lifetime prevalence and psychiatric morbidity are reported.
Methods: A total of 1394 (n= 1394) adults systematically sampled from Al Ain community were assessed with a modified version of the Composite International
Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) as well with other instruments: the new screening psychiatric instrument, Self-Reporting Questionnaire
(SRQ-20), and the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis 1 disorders (SCID) screening module. Lifetime prevalence and
1-week prevalence rates of mental distress as measured by screening instruments were estimated as well as the lifetime prevalence
rate of CIDI ICD-10 psychiatric disorders. The sensitivity of the CIDI interview to correctly pick up distressed subjects,
as well as those who had undergone previous treatment for a psychiatric disorder, was also calculated. Associations between
socio-demographic risk factors and ICD-10 psychiatric disorder as well as with mental distress were also examined by bivariate
and multivariate analyses. Results: Overall lifetime prevalence of ICD-10 psychiatric disorder was found to be 8.2% (95% CI: 6.7–9.7), while the 1-week prevalence
rate of mental distress as measured by the SRQ-20 was 15.6% (95% CI: 11.8–19.5) and the lifetime prevalence rate of mental
distress as measured by the new screening instrument was 18.9% (95% CI: 11.5–25.9). The CIDI interview correctly picked up
42% of subjects who had received previous psychiatric treatment and 51% of the distressed. Mood disorders and anxiety (neurotic)
disorders were more common in women and alcohol and substance use disorders were exclusively confined to men. Female sex,
young age, quality of marital relationship, life events over past year, chronic life difficulties, physical illness, family
history of psychiatric disorders and past history of psychiatric treatment were found to be significantly associated with
ICD-10 psychiatric disorder. Multivariate analysis revealed that age, sex, exposure to chronic difficulties and past history
of psychiatric treatment were the most significant predictors of ICD-10 psychiatric disorders, and exposure to chronic difficulties,
past history of psychiatric treatment and educational attainment were the significant predictors of lifetime ever and current
mental distress. Conclusion: The pattern and trend of psychiatric morbidity found in this survey is in line with those reported by other surveys that
utilized similar assessment instruments. Differences in rates are explained by different methodologies used.

This study assessed the prevalence of involuntary movements among older inpatients with severe schizophrenia, many of whom had experienced a lifetime of illness and its treatment, and examined their neuropsychological correlates. The subjects of this study were 128 inpatients with a DSM-IV diagnosis of schizophrenia. They were assessed using the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale, the Mini-Mental State Examination for general cognitive impairment and the Executive Interview for executive dyscontrol; additionally, their medical records were reviewed in detail for treatment histories. Prevalence of involuntary movements was examined and their clinical correlates determined in relation to topography of movement disorder using logistic regression. In schizophrenia, prevalence of involuntary movements was: age <65years, 63%; 65-75years, 80%; >75years, 93%. The primary correlate both of overall and of orofacial movements was poor executive function, whereas the primary correlate of limb-trunkal movements was poor general cognitive function. On approaching the limits of human longevity following a lifetime trajectory of illness and its treatment, essentially 'all' patients with schizophrenia appear inherently vulnerable to the emergence of involuntary movements in topographically specific association with cognitive deficits. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: A considerable number of individuals with schizophrenia go undiagnosed and untreated in developing countries. In the current study, we investigated the prevalence of schizophrenia, the treatment status of individuals with schizophrenia, and factors associated with never-treated status in a Balinese rural community. METHOD: A door-to-door survey was conducted on 8546 people from the general population to detect individuals with schizophrenia using standardized screening instruments in Bali. RESULTS: Thirty-nine individuals with schizophrenia were identified, giving a point prevalence of 4.2 per 1000 population. Never-treated group subjects (n = 20: 51.3%) had a significantly higher total score on the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (p < 0.05) and were less likely to have a history of violent behavior (p < 0.01) than Treated group subjects (n = 19: 48.7%). All 9 subjects who had never shown violent behavior remained untreated. CONCLUSION: The clinical condition of the never-treated individuals with schizophrenia was poor. Individuals with schizophrenia without violent behavior had no opportunity to undergo medical treatment in this developing country setting. 相似文献

This study examined the prevalence of cigarette smoking and its socio-demographic and clinical characteristics in Chinese schizophrenia patients. A sample of 540 community-dwelling patients (female/male: 50.4% vs. 49.6%) with schizophrenia was interviewed using standardized assessment instruments. The patients’ basic socio-demographic and clinical data including smoking were collected. The prevalence of cigarette smoking was 28.5% in the whole sample, and 53.6% and 4.0% for men and women, respectively. In univariate analyses, male sex, use of first generation antipsychotics (FGAs) and alcohol consumption were significantly associated with smoking. In multiple logistic regression analysis, male sex, alcohol consumption, older age and lower level of education were independently associated with smoking. The prevalence of smoking in Chinese schizophrenia patients is considerably lower than most figures reported from Western settings. The dramatic differences between males and females underscore the influence of cultural norms on smoking. 相似文献

PURPOSE: The estimated prevalence of mental health disorders in those with epilepsy in the general population varies owing to differences in study methods and heterogeneity of epilepsy syndromes. We assessed the population-based prevalence of various psychiatric conditions associated with epilepsy using a large Canadian national population health survey. METHODS: The Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS 1.2) was used to explore numerous aspects of mental health in persons with epilepsy in the community compared with those without epilepsy. The CCHS includes administration of the World Mental Health Composite International Diagnostic Interview to a sample of 36,984 subjects. Age-specific prevalence of mental health conditions in epilepsy was assessed using logistic regression. RESULTS: The prevalence of epilepsy was 0.6%. Individuals with epilepsy were more likely than individuals without epilepsy to report lifetime anxiety disorders or suicidal thoughts with odds ratio of 2.4 (95% CI = 1.5-3.8) and 2.2 (1.4-3.3), respectively. In the crude analysis, the odds of lifetime major depression or panic disorder/agoraphobia were not greater in those with epilepsy than those without epilepsy, but the association with lifetime major depression became significant after adjustment for covariates. CONCLUSIONS: In the community, epilepsy is associated with an increased prevalence of mental health disorders compared with the general population. Epilepsy is also associated with a higher prevalence of suicidal ideation. Understanding the psychiatric correlates of epilepsy is important to adequately manage this patient population. 相似文献

This study examines the extent to which sociodemographic characteristics, clinical characteristics, substance abuse problems, and the array of lifetime criminal behavior may explain lifetime arrests among offenders supervised by the psychiatric probation and parole service. Three hundred twenty-five clients with new cases at a psychiatric probation and parole service in a large urban center were screened for major psychiatric disorders. They were also interviewed for socio-demographic characteristics, mental health treatment history, criminal behavior, and arrest history. Hierarchical block multiple regression analysis tested a model explaining lifetime arrests. After controlling for age and other demographic variables, the number of lifetime psychiatric hospitalizations and lifetime occurrences of mania diagnosis significantly explained lifetime arrests. The total model explained about 10 percent of the variance in lifetime arrests after controlling for opportunity variables, which explained 45 percent. The explanatory power of lifetime hospitalizations and mania support the contention that symptoms, rather than diagnosis, may be the most important clinical factor in explaining criminal arrest among persons with mental illness. Implications for psychiatric services include the development of effective jail diversion programs. 相似文献

Objective: The aims of this study were to (a) describe patterns of tobacco smoking among Australians living with a psychotic illness and (b) explore the association between smoking and measures of psychopathology, psychiatric history, psychosocial functioning, physical health, substance use and demographic characteristics. Methods: Data were from 1812 participants in the 2010 Australian Survey of High Impact Psychosis. Participants were aged 18-64 years and resided in seven mental health catchment sites across five states of Australia. Bivariate statistics were used to compare smokers with non-smokers on the measures of interest, and to compare ICD-10 diagnostic categories on measures of smoking prevalence, nicotine addiction and quitting history. Multivariate logistic regression was used to test whether (a) demographics and psychiatric history were associated with having ever smoked and (b) whether symptoms and psychosocial functioning were independently associated with current smoking, after controlling for demographics, psychiatric history and substance use. Results: The prevalence of current tobacco smoking was 66.6% (72% of men and 59% of women); lifetime prevalence was 81%. In univariate analyses, individuals with a diagnosis of schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder were most likely to be smoking tobacco (70%) and were more nicotine dependent. Smokers reported worse perceived physical health, lower body mass index and waist circumference, and more lifetime medical conditions. A younger age of illness onset, male gender and low education were associated with having ever smoked. Associations with current smoking included low education, male gender, no formal employment, worse negative symptoms, higher daily caffeine consumption, and alcohol dependence and substance abuse/dependence. Conclusions: The prevalence of tobacco smoking is high amongst people with a psychotic disorder, and is associated with adverse mental health symptoms as well as high rates of other substance use, poorer subjective physical health, and a higher risk of the many known health consequences of smoking. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: Uncertainty exists regarding whether comorbid substance use disorders (SUDs) in bipolar I disorder are more prevalent among persons with versus without comorbid anxiety disorders. Moreover, the independent contribution of these comorbidities to the burden of bipolar disorder (BD) is unclear. METHODS: The 2001-2002 National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions was used to identify respondents with lifetime BD (n = 1,411). Illness severity was compared across four groups based on the presence of lifetime anxiety disorders, lifetime SUDs, neither, or both. Variables included lifetime prevalence of mixed mania, prolonged mood episodes, BD-related health service utilization, and forensic history, 12-month prevalence of mania and depression, and current general mental health functioning. Diagnoses were generated using the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism Alcohol Use Disorder and Associated Disabilities Interview Schedule, DSM-IV Version. Analyses were computed separately for males and females. RESULTS: For females only, the lifetime prevalence of SUDs was significantly greater among those with lifetime anxiety disorders [odds ratio (OR) = 1.41, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.08-1.86]; this was not found among males (OR = 1.15, 95% CI = 0.79-1.68). In multiple logistic regression analyses among both males and females, anxiety disorders were significantly associated with mixed episodes, prolonged depressive episodes, 12-month prevalence of depression, BD-related health service utilization, and poorer current mental health functioning. SUDs were significantly associated with mixed episodes among females, 12-month prevalence of depression among males, and with forensic history among both males and females. CONCLUSIONS: Whereas comorbid anxiety disorders appear to confer increased liability towards poor mental health functioning and greater BD-related health service utilization, comorbid SUDs are associated with positive forensic history. Early identification and treatment of these comorbid conditions are of paramount importance. Further representative prospective studies are needed. 相似文献

PURPOSE: To estimate the prevalence of epilepsy in a racially and ethnically diverse neighborhood in New York City. METHODS: We used random-digit dialing to identify people with a history of epilepsy. We estimated the prevalence of active epilepsy and lifetime epilepsy. RESULTS: The age-adjusted prevalence of active epilepsy was 5.0 per 1000, and that of lifetime epilepsy was 5.9 per 1000. Prevalence appeared higher in Hispanics (active prevalence: 6.3 per 1000; lifetime prevalence: 7.5 per 1000) than in non-Hispanics (active prevalence: 4.1 per 1000; lifetime prevalence: 4.7 per 1000). Blacks appeared to have a lower prevalence of active epilepsy (5.2 per 1000) than whites (5.9 per 1000), but a higher lifetime prevalence (7.5 per 1000 vs. 5.9 per 1000). Ethnic and racial differences in access to epilepsy care were evident both in terms of drug treatment and use of emergency departments for care. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of epilepsy in this predominantly minority urban community is similar to that reported in other contemporary studies. Less access to health care for black and Hispanic respondents, compared with white respondents, may have influenced self-reported active epilepsy prevalence estimates since the definition includes recent use of antiseizure medication. 相似文献

The characteristics of homeless people in Europe are almost unknown. The aim of this study was to describe the lifetime and 12-month prevalence of DSM-III-R/CIDI mental disorders among the homeless population of Madrid. A total of 261 homeless subjects, sampled from different sites, participated in the study. In terms of DSM-III-R lifetime rates, 50% of the sample had substance-related disorders and 35% had non-substance-related disorders. In total, 67% of the study subjects had some type of disorder. The lifetime prevalence of schizophrenia (4%) was lower than reported in most previous studies. Although the mental illness pattern is similar to that observed in studies using the same diagnostic methods, the results reported here show a lower prevalence of drug abuse and schizophrenic disorders. The reasons for these cultural differences and their implications for international public health research are discussed. 相似文献

PURPOSE. This study aims to determine the 12-month and lifetime prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and its sociodemographic correlates.
DESIGN AND METHODS. A total of 5,926 subjects were randomly selected and interviewed.
FINDINGS. The overall 12-month and lifetime prevalence of GAD was 0.8%, and 1.2%, respectively. Being older than 25 years and female, lower education level, unemployed status, and lower ( < RMB500/month) or higher ( > RMB2000/month) monthly income were associated with increased risk of GAD.
PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS. The low percentage of subjects treated for GAD indicates a major public health problem that should be addressed. 相似文献

The lifetime risk of suicide in schizophrenia: a reexamination 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
BACKGROUND: The psychiatry literature routinely quotes a lifetime schizophrenia suicide prevalence of 10% based on 1 meta-analysis and 2 studies of chronic schizophrenics. OBJECTIVES: To build a methodology for extrapolating lifetime suicide prevalence estimates from published cohorts and to apply this approach to studies that meet inclusion criteria. DATA SOURCES: We began with a MEDLINE search (1966-present) for articles that observed cohorts of schizophrenic patients. Exhaustive bibliography searching of each identified article brought the total number of articles reviewed to 632. STUDY SELECTION: Studies included in the meta-analysis observed a cohort of schizophrenic patients for at least 2 years, with at least 90% follow-up, and reported suicides. Articles are excluded for systematic age bias (ie, adolescents). DATA EXTRACTION: Extracted data included sample size, number of deaths, number of suicides, percentage of follow-up, and diagnostic system used. Data were extracted independently by 2 of us, and differences were resolved by consensus after re-review. DATA SYNTHESIS: Studies were divided into 2 groups: 32 studies of schizophrenics enrolled at various illness points (25 578 subjects) and 29 studies of schizophrenics identified at either illness onset or first admission (22 598 subjects). Regression models of the intersection of proportionate mortality (the percentage of the dead who died by suicide) and case fatality (the percentage of the total sample who died by suicide) were used to calculate suicide risk in each group. The estimate of lifetime suicide prevalence in those observed from first admission or illness onset was 5.6% (95% confidence interval, 3.7%-8.5%). Mixed samples showed a rate of 1.8% (95% confidence interval, 1.4%-2.3%). Case fatality rates showed no significant differences when studies of patients diagnosed with the use of newer systems were compared with studies of patients diagnosed under older criteria. CONCLUSION: This study estimates that 4.9% of schizophrenics will commit suicide during their lifetimes, usually near illness onset. 相似文献
