Savage CLG, Orth RD, Bennett ME, Blanchard JJ. Interpersonal consequences of paranoid ideation, negative symptoms and sleep problems in a transdiagnostic sample of individuals with psychosis. J Psychiatr Res 2024; 177:194-202. [PMID: 39029161 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpsychires.2024.07.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2024] [Revised: 06/19/2024] [Accepted: 07/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/21/2024]
Abstract
Paranoid ideation is a transdiagnostic construct that is associated with social impairment and often occurs in psychotic spectrum disorders. Little research has examined how paranoid ideation is related to social behaviors that underlie social impairment and may ultimately lead to social rejection. It is important to consider that negative symptoms and sleep problems also contribute to social impairment. No research has assessed the unique and combined influence of paranoid ideation, negative symptoms, and sleep problems on social impairment. Therefore, the current study examined how paranoid ideation, negative symptoms, and sleep problems contribute to poorer social skills and social rejection in a transdiagnostic sample of persons with psychosis and community members (N = 112). Assessments included diagnostic and symptom interviews, questionnaires, behavioral ratings of social skill and facial displays of affect, and naive observer reactions utilizing thin-slice methodology. Greater paranoid ideation, negative symptoms, and sleep problems were each related to poorer social skill and more negative reactions from observers. When considered in path analyses, negative symptoms were associated with observer reports of less willingness to interact with participants through poorer social skill. These findings demonstrate the symptom correlates of social rejection and how interpersonal behavior may contribute to social exclusion.

Abstract
Among individuals living with psychotic disorders, social impairment is common, debilitating, and challenging to treat. While the roots of this impairment are undoubtedly complex, converging lines of evidence suggest that social motivation and pleasure (MAP) deficits play a key role. Yet most neuroimaging studies have focused on monetary rewards, precluding decisive inferences. Here we leveraged parallel social and monetary incentive delay fMRI paradigms to test whether blunted reactivity to social incentives in the ventral striatum-a key component of the distributed neural circuit mediating appetitive motivation and hedonic pleasure-is associated with more severe MAP symptoms in a transdiagnostic sample enriched for psychosis. To maximize ecological validity and translational relevance, we capitalized on naturalistic audiovisual clips of an established social partner expressing positive feedback. Although both paradigms robustly engaged the ventral striatum, only reactivity to social incentives was associated with clinician-rated MAP deficits. This association remained significant when controlling for other symptoms, binary diagnostic status, or ventral striatum reactivity to monetary incentives. Follow-up analyses suggested that this association predominantly reflects diminished striatal activation during the receipt of social reward. These observations provide a neurobiologically grounded framework for conceptualizing the social-anhedonia symptoms and social impairments that characterize many individuals living with psychotic disorders and underscore the need to establish targeted intervention strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pre-diagnostic stages of psychotic illnesses, including 'clinical high risk' (CHR), are marked by sleep disturbances. These sleep disturbances appear to represent a key aspect in the etiology and maintenance of psychotic disorders. We aimed to examine the relationship between self-reported sleep dysfunction and attenuated psychotic symptoms (APS) on a day-to-day basis. METHODS Seventy-six CHR young people completed the Experience Sampling Methodology (ESM) component of the European Union Gene-Environment Interaction Study, collected through PsyMate® devices, prompting sleep and symptom questionnaires 10 times daily for 6 days. Bayesian multilevel mixed linear regression analyses were performed on time-variant ESM data using the brms package in R. We investigated the day-to-day associations between sleep and psychotic experiences bidirectionally on an item level. Sleep items included sleep onset latency, fragmentation, and quality. Psychosis items assessed a range of perceptual, cognitive, and bizarre thought content common in the CHR population. RESULTS Two of the seven psychosis variables were unidirectionally predicted by previous night's number of awakenings: every unit increase in number of nightly awakenings predicted a 0.27 and 0.28 unit increase in feeling unreal or paranoid the next day, respectively. No other sleep variables credibly predicted next-day psychotic symptoms or vice-versa. CONCLUSION In this study, the relationship between sleep disturbance and APS appears specific to the item in question. However, some APS, including perceptual disturbances, had low levels of endorsement amongst this sample. Nonetheless, these results provide evidence for a unidirectional relationship between sleep and some APS in this population.

Abstract
Objective To explore the correlation between insomnia and language ability in patients with schizophrenia. Methods 120 patients with schizophrenia admitted to our hospital from June 2020 to January 2022 were enrolled as the research objects. According to the total score of the Pittsburgh Sleep Index (PSQI), they were divided into the insomnia group (PSQI total score > 10 points) and the non-insomnia group (PSQI total score ≤ 10 points). To compare the difference in verbal fluency scale between insomnia and non-insomnia groups and to understand the correlation between insomnia symptoms and language ability in patients with schizophrenia. Results There were no significant differences in age, gender, and years of education between the insomnia group and the non-insomnia group (P > 0.05). The total score of the verbal fluency test (VFT) in the insomnia group was significantly different from that in the non-insomnia group (P < 0.01). The total score of the insomnia group was lower than that of the non-insomnia group, and the factors (fluency animal, fluency fruit and vegetable, speech fluency, motor fluency) were lower than that of the non-insomnia group. Logistic regression analysis showed that the total verbal fluency score in schizophrenia patients was negatively correlated with insomnia symptoms (P < 0.05). Schizophrenia patients with insomnia symptoms had worse language ability than those without. Conclusion There is a significant difference in language ability between schizophrenia patients with insomnia and those without insomnia symptoms. This suggests that schizophrenia patients with insomnia have a greater probability of language ability disorder.

Abstract
Individuals with Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders (SSDs) have significantly higher rates of suicidal thoughts, attempts, and death by suicide in comparison to the general population. Sleep disturbances (reduced duration, timing and quality of sleep) are risk factors for suicidality in the general population, with research indicating the relationship is both immediate and accumulative. Sleep disturbances are also considered to be implicated in the onset and exacerbation of psychotic symptoms in SSDs. Reducing the risk of suicidality in SSDs remains an important public health priority, thus exploration of contributing risk factors is warranted. Sleep monitoring may also offer an adjunct risk monitoring method to suicidality assessments in SSDs, and a potential treatment target for psychotic symptoms. This review aimed to explore proximal and longitudinal relationships between self-reported and objectively measured sleep and suicidality in SSDs and other psychotic disorders. A comprehensive search of four databases was conducted. Eleven studies met the inclusion criteria (10 cross sectional and 1 longitudinal). Narrative synthesis indicated that self-reported sleep disturbances and sleep disorders (e.g. insomnia) were associated with increased risk of suicidal ideation and attempt. However, one study employing polysomnography did not find sleep to be associated with suicidality. Methodological limitations of the evidence base include: i) little experimental or longitudinal evidence, (ii) self-report and/or single item assessment of sleep disturbance, (iii) limited use of validated measures of suicidality, (iv) considerable research in long-term schizophrenia but sparse evidence in early psychosis. Future research should explore (i) cross-sectional and longitudinal relationships between specific aspects of suicidality and objective sleep parameters, (ii) use qualitative or mixed-methods designs to disentangle the nuances and bidirectionality in the sleep-suicide relationship, (iii) explore the psychological processes underpinning or mediating the sleep-suicide relationship in SSDs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND HYPOTHESES Sleep disturbances are increasingly recognized as cooccurring with psychotic symptoms. The potential importance of this relationship is complicated when considering the effects of anxiety and depressive symptoms which commonly present in early-stage illness states. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between self-reported sleep disturbance on the development of attenuated psychotic symptoms (APS) cross-sectionally and longitudinally while adjusting for roles of anxiety and depressive symptoms. DESIGN Eight-hundred and two help-seeking young people aged 12 to 25 years who engaged with our Australian early intervention services were included in the study (the "Transitions" cohort). Cross sectional mediation and cross-lagged longitudinal (12-month) mediation models were developed with outcomes being different APS domains. RESULTS Only baseline excessive daytime sleepiness predicted later APS when accounting for previous APS, anxiety and depressive symptomatology. Cross sectionally, self-reported sleep disturbance showed both direct and indirect predictive relationships with all APS domains. Partial mediation through anxiety and depression was shown for unusual thought content, perceptual abnormalities, and disorganised speech, while full mediation through depression was shown for non-bizarre ideas. CONCLUSIONS The specificity of the relationship between self-reported sleep disturbance on APS highlights the potential for different roles in mechanistic models of psychotic symptom expression. This further indicates the need for further experimental research to illuminate potential causal pathways. Future research should continue to use continuous, symptom level approaches across a range of timeframes to more accurately model the complex dynamics present in the sleep-psychosis relationship.

Abstract
Introduction Repeated consultations in primary care represent a significant burden on healthcare services. Characterizing the patients who repeatedly attend ambulatory care would enhance our understanding of the healthcare needs of this population, with a view to providing appropriate services. The aim of this study was therefore to identify the factors associated with repeated consultation in unscheduled care. Our secondary aim was to explore the specific profile of patients aged >65 years. Methods A retrospective case-control study comparing re-consultation within 30 days at a primary care facility versus non-reconsulting patients, defined as those who did not reconsult within 30 days, among patients consulting over a period of 1 year (1 January to 31 December 2019). Data was collected for a random sample of 5,059 consultations. Patients and controls were matched for age ± 5 years, and sex. Results The main factors associated with repeat consultation were an initial consultation late at night (midnight to 6.00 am; OR 1.31, 95%CI 1.20-1.44), and psychological disorders as the main diagnosis (OR 1.33, 95%CI 1.20-1.48). Conversely, consulting at the weekend was associated with a lower likelihood of repeat consultation (OR 0.82, 95% 0.85-0.91). Conclusion 30-day reconsultations were significantly more frequent after late night consultation. This could be used as an indicator of the quality of care to assess performance of general practice teams with implications for improving overall health of an aging population.

Abstract
The aims of the review were to (i) evaluate the effectiveness of wearable-delivered sleep interventions on sleep outcomes among adults, and (ii) explore the effect of factors affecting total sleep time. Eight databases were searched to identify relevant studies in English from inception until December 23, 2021. The Cochrane Risk of Bias tool version 2.0 and Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations (GRADE) criteria were used to assess the risk of bias and certainty of the evidence, respectively. Twenty randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included, involving 1608 adults across nine countries. Wearable-delivered sleep interventions elicited significant improvement of 1.96 events/h for the oxygen desaturation index and 3.13 events/h for the respiratory distress index. Meta-analyses found that wearable-delivered sleep interventions significantly decreased sleep disturbance (Hedges' g [g] = -0.37, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -0.59, -0.15) and sleep-related impairment (g = -1.06, 95% CI: -1.99, -0.13) versus the comparators. The wearable-delivered sleep interventions may complement usual care to improve sleep outcomes. More rigorous RCTs with a long-term assessment in a wide range of populations are warranted.

Abstract
Growing evidence shows that insomnia is closely associated with schizophrenia (SCZ), but the neural mechanism under the association remains unclear. A direct comparison of the patterns of resting-state brain activities would help understand the above question. Using meta-analytic approach, 11 studies of insomnia vs. healthy controls (HC) and 39 studies of SCZ vs. HC were included to illuminate the common and distinct patterns between insomnia and SCZ. Results showed that SCZ and insomnia shared increased resting-state brain activities in frontolimbic structures including the right medial prefrontal gyrus (mPFC) and left parahippocampal gyrus. SCZ additionally revealed greater increased activities in subcortical areas including bilateral putamen, caudate and right insula and greater decreased activities in precentral gyrus and orbitofrontal gyrus. Our study reveals both shared and distinct activation patterns in SCZ and insomnia, which may provide novel insights for understanding the neural basis of the two disorders and enlighten the possibility of the development of treatment strategies for insomnia in SCZ in the future.

Abstract
AIMS Sleep problems are common in people with a psychosis-spectrum diagnosis and are associated with worse psychotic symptoms and lower quality of life. Sleep problems are also frequent in individuals at a clinical high risk for psychosis (CHR-P) however, less is known about the prevalence and association with symptoms in this population. This study investigates the prevalence of sleep problems within CHR-P individuals and the associations with attenuated positive symptoms, transition to psychosis, time to transition to psychosis and functioning. METHODS The clinical records interactive search (CRIS) tool was used to carry out a retrospective study of 795 CHR-P individuals. Sleep problems, subsequent psychotic diagnoses, attenuated positive symptoms and Health of The Nation Outcome Scale scores were extracted. Regression models were used to examine the association between sleep problems and clinical outcomes. RESULTS 59.5% of CHR-P individuals experienced sleep problems. Perceptual abnormality severity (OR = 1.24, 95% CI = 1.05-1.48) and frequency (OR = 1.31, 95% CI = 1.08-1.58) as measured by the Comprehensive Assessment of At-Risk Mental State interview, predicted sleep problems. Sleep problems were not associated with transition to psychosis; however, they were significantly associated with a shorter time to transition in individuals who developed psychosis (HR = 1.4, 95% CI = 1.05-1.88) and higher follow-up Health of the Nation Outcome Scale scores (MD = 2.26, 95% CI = 0.55-3.96). CONCLUSIONS The high prevalence of sleep problems, along with the association with positive symptoms and worse functioning, highlights the need for effective sleep interventions in this population. Further research is needed to better understand the relationship between sleep problems and transition to psychosis.

Abstract
An accumulation of research has indicated that persons with psychotic disorders experience a variety of sleep disturbances. However, few studies have examined the psychometric properties of sleep assessments that are utilized in this population. We conducted two studies to examine the reliability and validity of the PROMISTM Sleep Disturbance and Sleep-Related Impairment scales in outpatient samples of persons with psychosis. In Study 1, we examined the internal consistency and convergent validity of the PROMIS sleep scales in individuals with various psychotic disorders (N = 98) and healthy controls (N = 22). The PROMIS sleep scales showed acceptable internal consistency and convergent validity in both healthy controls and individuals with psychotic disorders. In addition, replicating prior research, the PROMIS scales identified greater sleep disturbance and sleep-related impairment in participants with psychotic disorders compared to healthy controls. In Study 2, we examined the test-retest reliability (M = 358 days) of the PROMIS sleep scales in a subset (N = 37) of persons with psychotic disorders who previously participated in Study 1. We also assessed the relation between these self-report measures and actigraph sleep parameters. The results showed that PROMIS sleep measures demonstrated modest temporal stability in the current sample. Contrary to our hypothesis, there was a lack of correspondence between these scales and actigraph sleep parameters. Overall, these findings indicate that the PROMIS sleep scales are psychometrically sound measures for populations with psychosis and highlight the importance of utilizing a multi-method approach to assess sleep.

Abstract
Sleep disturbances in patients with psychotic disorders are common and associated with poor clinical outcomes, but research on negative symptoms is limited. This study aimed to examine the association between subjective sleep disturbances and negative symptoms in 525 patients with non-affective psychotic disorders, 569 unaffected siblings and 265 healthy controls (HC) from the Genetic Risk and Outcome of Psychosis (GROUP) study. Several aspects of subjective sleep disturbances were assessed: sleep satisfaction, sleep onset insomnia, midnocturnal insomnia, early morning insomnia, and hypersomnia. Regression analyses revealed significant negative associations between sleep satisfaction and negative symptoms in all three groups. In addition, significant associations with sleep onset insomnia and hypersomnia were found in patients and with early morning insomnia and hypersomnia in siblings. Exploratory mediation analyses showed that depressive symptoms partly mediated all associations on the subclinical level in siblings and healthy controls, whereas only the association with sleep onset insomnia was mediated in patients. The results of this study implicate specific sleep disturbances and depressive symptoms as potential targets in prevention or intervention strategies focussed on negative symptoms in individuals suffering from, or at risk of non-affective psychotic disorders.

Abstract
AIMS To synthesise and investigate how sleep disturbances relate to psychotic symptoms, functioning and Quality of Life (QoL) in At Risk Mental State (ARMS) youth. METHOD A comprehensive search of six databases (MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science and CENTRAL) was conducted. Eligible studies provided data on sleep disturbances or disorders in ARMS patients. RESULTS Sixteen studies met the inclusion criteria (n = 1962 ARMS patients) including 7 cross-sectional studies, 2 RCT's and 7 cohort studies. Narrative synthesis revealed that self-reported sleep (e.g., general disturbances, fragmented night time sleep and nightmares) was poorer among ARMS patients compared to healthy controls. In the limited studies (n = 4) including objective measurements of sleep disturbances, ARMS patients experienced higher levels of movement during sleep, more daytime naps and increased sleep latency compared to controls. Furthermore, sleep disturbances were associated with attenuated psychotic symptoms and functional outcomes cross-sectionally and longitudinally. Only one study investigated the relationship between sleep and QoL. The exploratory meta-analysis revealed a significant difference in self-reported sleep disturbances measured by the PSQI (mean difference in score: 3.30 (95% CI 1.87, 4.74), p < 0.00001) and SIPS (mean difference in score: 1.58 (95% CI 0.80, 2.35), p < 0.00001) of ARMS patients compared to control groups. CONCLUSIONS ARMS individuals report impaired sleep quality and reduced sleep quantity compared to healthy controls. However, further research is needed to explore the longitudinal relationship between sleep disruptions and QoL in early psychosis. Significant variations in how sleep is measured across studies highlight a need to assess disturbances to sleep using robust and consistent approaches in this patient group.

Artificial Neural Networks Analysis of polysomnographic and clinical features in Pediatric Acute-Onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS): from sleep alteration to "Brain Fog". Nat Sci Sleep 2021; 13:1209-1224. [PMID: 34326674 PMCID: PMC8315772 DOI: 10.2147/nss.s300818] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2021] [Accepted: 05/17/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES PANS (pediatric acute onset neuropsychiatric syndrome) is thought to be the result of several mechanisms and multiple etiologies, ranging from endocrine/metabolic causes to postinfectious autoimmune and neuroinflammatory disorders. Sleep disorders represent one of the most frequent manifestations of PANS, involving around 80% of patients. The present study describes the clinical and polysomnographic features in a group of PANS children identifying the relationships between sleep disorders and other PANS symptoms. METHODS All participants underwent a clinical evaluation including comprehensive sleep history, polysomnography, cognitive assessment and blood chemistry examination. A data mining approach with fourth-generation artificial neural networks has been used in order to discover subtle trends and associations among variables. RESULTS Polysomnography showed abnormality in 17 out of 23 recruited subjects (73.9%). In particular, 8/17 children (47%) had ineffective sleep, 10/17 (58.8%) fragmented sleep, 8/17 (47.1%) periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD) and 11/17 (64.7%) REM-sleep without atonia (RSWA). Most subjects presented more than one sleep disturbances. Notably, among the 19/23 patients diagnosed with Tic/Tourette disorder, 8/19 (42.1%) show PLMD and 10/19 (52.6%) RSWA. Artificial neural network methodology and the auto-contractive map exploited the links among the full spectrum of variables revealing the simultaneous connections among them, facing the complexity of PANS phenotype. CONCLUSION Disordered sleep represents, for prevalence and impact on quality of life, a cardinal symptom in patients with PANS. Thus, considering the weight of sleep disturbances on diagnosis and prognosis of PANS, we could consider the possibility of including them among the major diagnostic criteria.

Abstract
Psychotic disorders are characterized by profound social impairment. An accumulation of research has explored the contribution of symptoms, cognitive functioning, and behavioral skills deficits to this social dysfunction. Recent research indicates that sleep disturbance has significant social implications in nonclinical populations-this research suggests that sleep problems may also be relevant to understanding social impairment in psychosis. This study adopted a symptom-oriented dimensional approach to examine how sleep disturbance and sleep-related impairment are related to multiple social domains within a transdiagnostic sample (N = 90). This sample included individuals with a variety of psychotic disorders (n = 75) along with healthy non-clinical participants (n = 15) to ensure sampling across the full range of sleep problems and social functioning. Social domains spanned self-reported perceptions of social relationships, social functioning in the community, and behavioral assessments of social competence. We hypothesized that greater sleep disturbance and sleep-related impairment would be associated with more negative or problematic perceptions of social relationships (i.e., less social support, less companionship, and greater distress), poorer social functioning in the community, smaller social networks, and poorer behavioral ratings of social competency. Results supported these hypotheses indicating that sleep disturbance and sleep-related impairment have widespread deleterious impacts on perceptions of social relationships, social functioning, and competence. Sleep disturbance retained associations with perceptions of social relationships, social functioning, and social competence even after controlling for total symptoms or cognitive functioning. These findings indicate that sleep problems may have important implications for fully understanding the causes of social impairment in psychosis.
