Peng K, Li Y, Adegboro AA, Wanggou S, Li X. Mood swings are causally associated with intracranial aneurysm subarachnoid hemorrhage: A Mendelian randomization study. Brain Behav 2023; 13:e3233. [PMID: 37632147 PMCID: PMC10636415 DOI: 10.1002/brb3.3233] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2023] [Revised: 05/05/2023] [Accepted: 08/14/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mood swings have been observed in patients with intracranial aneurysm (IA), but it is still unknown whether mood swings can affect IA. AIM To explore the causal association between mood swings or experiencing mood swings and IA through a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study. METHODS Summary-level statistics of mood swings, experiencing mood swings, IA, aneurysm-associated subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), and non-ruptured IA (uIA) were collected from the genome-wide association study. Two-sample MR and various sensitivity analyses were employed to explore the causal association between mood swings or experiencing mood swings and IA, or aSAH, or uIA. The inverse-variance weighted method was used as the primary method. RESULTS Genetically determined mood swings (odds ratio [OR] = 5.23, 95% confidence interval (95%CI): 1.65-16.64, p = .005) and experiencing mood swings (OR = 2.50, 95%CI: 1.37-4.57, p = .003) were causally associated with an increased risk of IA. Mood swings (OR = 5.67, 95%CI: 1.40-23.04, p = .015) and experiencing mood swings were causally associated with the risk of aSAH (OR = 2.91, 95%CI: 1.47-5.75, p = .002). Neither mood swings (OR = 1.95, 95%CI: .31-12.29, p = .478) nor experiencing mood swings (OR = 1.20, 95%CI: .48-3.03, p = .693) were associated with uIA. CONCLUSIONS Mood swings and experiencing mood swings increased the risk of IA and aSAH incidence. These results suggest that alleviating mood swings may reduce IA rupture incidence and aSAH incidence.

Considering Psychological and Cognitive Factors in Interventional Neuroradiology: A Systematic Literature Review. AJNR Am J Neuroradiol 2023; 44:1282-1290. [PMID: 37827718 PMCID: PMC10631534 DOI: 10.3174/ajnr.a8007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2023] [Accepted: 08/30/2023] [Indexed: 10/14/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Interventional neuroradiology is a relatively recent discipline that diagnoses and treats cerebral vascular diseases. However, specific literature on cognitive and psychological domains of patients undergoing interventional neuroradiology procedures is limited. PURPOSE Our aim was to review the existent literature on cognitive and psychological domains in patients undergoing interventional neuroradiology procedures to raise clinicians' awareness of their mental status. DATA SOURCES Articles were searched in PubMed, EMBASE, and Scopus from 2000 to 2022 using terms such as "interventional neuroradiology," "psychology," and "cognition" according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. STUDY SELECTION Of 1483 articles in English, 64 were included and analyzed. Twelve focused on psychological aspects; 52, on cognitive ones. DATA ANALYSIS Regarding psychological aspects, it appears that early psychological consultations and "nonpharmacologic" strategies can impact the anxiety and depression of patients undergoing endovascular procedures. Regarding cognitive aspects, it appears that endovascular treatment is safe and generates similar or even fewer cognitive deficits compared with analogous surgical procedures. DATA SYNTHESIS Among the 12 articles on psychological aspects, 6/12 were retrospective with one, while 6/12 were prospective. Among the 52 articles on cognitive aspects, 7/54 were retrospective, while 45/52 were prospective. LIMITATIONS The main limitation derives from the inhomogeneity of the cognitive and psychological assessment tools used in the articles included in our analysis. CONCLUSIONS Our review highlights the need to include cognitive and psychological assessments in clinical practice in case patients eligible for interventional neuroradiology procedures. In the future, much more research of and attention to cognitive and psychologic aspects of neurovascular disease is needed. Systematic incorporation of strategies and tools to access and address pre, peri-, and postprocedural psychological and cognitive components could have major benefits in patient satisfaction, recovery, and the success of endovascular practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The magnitude of femoral head collapse (MFHC) is one of the criteria for staging osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). The present study aimed to clarify the relationship between MFHC and hip pain or functional quality of life (QOL) scores in patients with ONFH. METHODS Seventy patients with ONFH who had femoral head collapse without osteoarthritic changes were divided into four groups based on MFHC by 1 mm. Pain was assessed using the visual analogue scale (VAS). QOL was evaluated using patient-reported outcome measures such as the Japanese Orthopaedic Association Hip-Disease Evaluation Questionnaire (JHEQ), Oxford Hip Score (OHS), and Short Form-12 Health Survey, version 2 (SF-12v2). We also explored the relationship between MFHC and QOL. RESULTS Pain score and satisfaction score in the VAS, JHEQ pain subscale, JHEQ movement subscale, and JHEQ total score were significantly associated with MFHC, and no significant differences were found between groups in any subscale or total score for OHS and SF-12v2. CONCLUSION In patients with ONFH, differences in MFHC by 1 mm were associated with deterioration of some pain VAS and QOL outcomes.

Quality of Life Outcomes Over Time in Patients With Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms With and Without Preventive Occlusion: A Prospective Cohort Study. Neurology 2022; 99:e1715-e1724.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES In counseling patients with an unruptured intracranial aneurysm (UIA), quality of life (QoL) outcomes are important for informed decision making. We evaluated QoL outcomes in patients with and without preventive aneurysm occlusion at multiple time points during the first year after UIA diagnosis and studied predictors of QoL outcomes. METHODS We performed a prospective cohort study in patients aged ≥18 years with a newly diagnosed UIA in 2 tertiary referral centers in the Netherlands between 2017 and 2019. Patients were sent QoL questionnaires at 7 (aneurysm occlusion) or 5 (no occlusion) moments during the first year after diagnosis. We collected baseline data on patient and aneurysm characteristics, passive coping style (Utrecht Coping List), occlusion modality, and neurologic complications. We assessed health-related QoL (HRQoL) with the EuroQol 5 dimensions (EQ-5D), emotional functioning with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and restrictions in daily activities with the Utrecht Scale for Evaluation of Rehabilitation-Participation (USER-P). We used a linear mixed-effects model to assess the course of QoL over time and to explore predictors of QoL outcomes. RESULTS Of 153 eligible patients, 99 (65%) participated, of whom 30/99 (30%) underwent preventive occlusion. Patients undergoing occlusion reported higher baseline levels of passive coping, anxiety and depression, and restrictions than patients without occlusion. During recovery after occlusion, patients reported more restrictions compared with baseline (adjusted USER-P decrease 1 month post occlusion: -12.8 [95% CI -23.8 to -1.9]). HRQoL and emotional functioning gradually improved after occlusion (EQ-5D increase at 1 year: 8.6 [95% CI 0.1-17.0] and HADS decrease at 1 year: -5.4 [95% CI -9.4 to -1.5]). In patients without occlusion, the largest HRQoL improvement occurred directly after visiting the outpatient aneurysm clinic (EQ-5D increase: 9.2 [95% CI 5.5-12.8]). At 1 year, QoL outcomes were comparable in patients with and without occlusion. Factors associated with worse QoL outcomes were a passive coping style in all patients, complications in patients with occlusion, and higher rupture risks in patients without occlusion. DISCUSSION After UIA diagnosis, QoL improves gradually after preventive occlusion and directly after counseling at the outpatient clinic in patients without occlusion, resulting in comparable 1-year QoL outcomes. A passive coping style is an important predictor of poor QoL outcomes in all patients with UIA.

A meta-analysis on the prevalence of anxiety and depression in patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms: exposing critical treatment gaps. Neurosurg Rev 2022; 45:2077-2085. [PMID: 35290550 DOI: 10.1007/s10143-022-01768-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2021] [Revised: 03/02/2022] [Accepted: 03/07/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
Unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) are a significant cause of anxiety and depression. Though the annual rupture rate is relatively low, ensuing mortality and morbidity may be high. Most published studies have focused on functional outcomes; however, limited studies have explored and reported on psychiatric outcomes, which are equally important. We aimed to review existing data on anxiety and depression in patients with UIAs. We systematically searched the databases of Pubmed, Cochrane, Scopus, EBSCOHOST, and ClinicalTrials.gov for studies that reported on anxiety and depression in patients with UIAs. Where available, we also reported data on aneurysm characteristics, treatment modalities, and functional outcomes of these populations. We performed a meta-analysis of proportions by random-effects modeling to compute the prevalence of anxiety and depression in patients with UIAs. Eighteen studies reporting a total of 1413 patients with UIAs were included in the systematic review. The mean age was 57.8 (range 27-79); 64% of whom were female. Random-effect modeling analysis showed an overall estimated prevalence of 28% [95% CI: 0.17-0.42] for anxiety and 21% [95% CI: 0.13-0.33] for depression among patients with UIAs. No significant difference was found in the prevalence of these conditions between treated vs untreated aneurysms. Our review highlights the heterogeneity of data from existing studies and the lack of standardized methodologies in determining psychiatric outcomes in patients with UIAs. It was also limited by the small sample sizes and patient counseling bias in the included studies. Larger, well-designed epidemiologic studies on patients with UIA should include more representative samples, assess for predictors of psychological outcomes, and explore the most optimal psychiatric assessment tools.

Abstract
Background Despite psychiatric traits were associated with intracranial aneurysms (IAs) in observational studies, their causal relationships remain largely undefined. We aimed to assess the causality between psychiatric traits and IAs. Methods We firstly collected the genome-wide association statistics of IAs (sample size, n = 79,429) and ten psychiatric traits from Europeans, including insomnia (n = 1,331,010), mood instability (n = 363,705), anxiety disorder (n = 83,566), major depressive disorder (MDD) (n = 480,359), subjective wellbeing (n = 388,538), attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (n = 53,293), autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (n = 46,350), bipolar disorder (BIP) (n = 51,710), schizophrenia (SCZ) (n = 105,318), and neuroticism (n = 168,105). We then conducted a series of bi-directional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses, of which the Robust Adjusted Profile Score (RAPS) was the primary method to estimate the causal effects between these psychiatric traits and IAs. Results We found that insomnia exhibited a significant risk effect on IAs with the odds ratio (OR) being 1.22 (95% CI: 1.11–1.34, p = 4.61 × 10–5) from the RAPS method. There was suggestive evidence for risk effect of mood instability on IAs (RAPS, OR = 4.16, 95% CI: 1.02–17.00, p = 0.047). However, no clear evidence of causal effects on IAs for the rest eight psychiatric traits (anxiety disorder, MDD, subjective wellbeing, ADHD, ASD, BIP, SCZ, and neuroticism) was identified. In the reverse MR analyses, no causal effects of IAs on psychiatric traits were found. Conclusions Our findings provide strong evidence for a causal risk effect of insomnia on IAs and suggestive evidence for mood instability as a causal risk effect on IAs. These results could inform the prevention and clinical intervention of IAs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Living with the diagnosis of an unruptured cerebral aneurysm can understandably cause distress to a patient. The goal of preventive treatment is to increase the number of years with good quality of life (QoL). OBJECTIVE This study aimed to measure the effect of unruptured intracranial aneurysm treatment on change in QoL scores measured by the SF36 and EQ-5D-5L. METHODS We prospectively collected SF36 and EQ-5D-5L survey data for patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms at two time-points over 1 year between 2 treatment groups: observation and intervention (microsurgical and endovascular). Multivariable linear regression was used to examine treatment group differences in the mean change in scores from baseline to 1 year when adjusted for covariates. RESULTS 92 patients were included in the observation group and 68 patients were included in the intervention group, for a total of 160 patients. The intervention group had lower SF36 total scores at baseline (p = 0.001). With multivariate linear regression models, the effect of treatment on mean change in SF36 total score from baseline to 1 year was not statistically significant (p = 0.4); similarly, there was no difference in mean change in EQ-5D-5L. CONCLUSION In this large prospective study, preventive aneurysm treatment was not associated with a significant change in QoL score at 1 year compared to observation as measured by the SF36 and EQ-5D-5L. Further studies are needed to explore the lower QoL scores in patients seeking treatment and its impact on management decision making.

Abstract
Unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) are common and are being detected with increasing frequency given the improved quality and higher frequency of cross-sectional imaging. The long-term natural history of UIAs remains poorly understood. To date, there is relative lack of clear guidelines for selection of patients with UIAs for treatment. Surveillance imaging for untreated UIAs is frequently performed, but frequency, duration, and modality of surveillance imaging need clearer guidelines. The authors review the current evidence on prevalence, natural history, role of treatment, and surveillance and screening imaging and highlight the areas for further research.

Cognitive behavioral therapy reduces illness perceptions and anxiety symptoms in patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysm. J Clin Neurosci 2020; 80:56-62. [PMID: 33099367 DOI: 10.1016/j.jocn.2020.07.071] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2020] [Revised: 07/23/2020] [Accepted: 07/30/2020] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
The main purpose of this study was to assess the relation between cognitive behavioral therapy and possible changes in illness perceptions and anxiety in patients diagnosed with unruptured intracranial aneurysm. An observational study of an intervention with 67 patients with an unruptured intracranial aneurysm from two medical centers in a Colombian city (n = 35 on the intervention group) was carried out. To assess changes, measurements were taken at baseline and at one-year follow-up with the Beck Anxiety Inventory and the Illness Perception Questionnaire, brief version, taking into account the importance of perceptions in the process of adjusting to illness and acquiring healthy life habits. Hypotheses were tested by a structural model. The results obtained from this study showed that illness perceptions were related to anxiety levels at both time points; however, the relations were stronger before cognitive behavioral therapy (βt0 = 0.61, p < 0.01; βt1 = 0.37, p < 0.01). Cognitive behavioral therapy was found to be a moderator of changes in both illness perceptions and anxiety at the time of follow-up (β = -0.31, p < 0.01; β = -0.26, p < 0.01). The structural model suggests that cognitive behavioral therapy is associated with less anxiety (β = -0.17, p < 0.05) and better illness perceptions (β = -0.35, p < 0.01) in patients diagnosed with unruptured intracranial aneurysms.
