Abstract
Differences in subjective quality of life among persons receiving early intervention for psychosis in varying geo-sociocultural contexts have rarely been examined. Our prospective longitudinal study compared the quality of life of persons with first-episode psychosis receiving two years of similar early intervention in Chennai, India and Montreal, Canada. We hypothesized that general life satisfaction would be higher in Chennai compared to Montreal, and that social relations (a specific quality of life component) would also be higher in Chennai and positively contribute to general life satisfaction. Participants completed the general satisfaction and social relations domains of the Wisconsin Quality of Life Index at baseline, months 12 and 24. Baseline weighted mean general satisfaction and social relations scores were in the low to moderate range. Generalized estimating equation analyses showed that general satisfaction scores increased with time [Wald χ2 (1) = 125.28, p < 0.001] and were higher in Chennai than in Montreal [Wald χ2 (1) = 7.50, p = 0.006]. Social relations scores showed the highest association with general satisfaction scores (B = 0.52), followed by positive symptom remission (B = 0.24) and gender (B = 0.18) with Chennai males having the highest general satisfaction scores. Social relations weighted mean scores increased with time [Wald χ2 (1) = 87.30, p < 0.001] and were positively associated with years of education [Wald χ2 (1) = 4.76, p = 0.029] and early negative symptom remission [Wald χ2 (1) = 7.38, p = 0.007]. Our results suggest that subjective quality of life may improve following early intervention for psychosis across contexts. Our findings advance knowledge about the role of sociocultural (e.g., gender) and clinical factors in influencing subjective outcomes in psychosis, and point to social support networks and symptom remission as avenues to boost quality of life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Both drug-induced Parkinsonism (DIP) and tardive dyskinesia (TD) have been shown to be associated with lower health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in schizophrenia, but few studies have examined their relative impact. AIMS This study aimed to examine and compare the association of DIP and TD with HRQOL in schizophrenia. METHODS In total, 903 patients with schizophrenia were assessed on the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), Simpson-Angus Scale (SAS), and Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS). EuroQoL five-dimensional (EQ-5D-5L) utility scores were derived from PANSS scores via a previously validated algorithm and used as a measure of HRQOL. RESULTS In total, 160 (17.7%) participants had only DIP, 119 (13.2%) had only TD, and 123 (13.6%) had both DIP and TD. HRQOL was lowest for participants with both DIP and TD, followed by only DIP group, only TD group, and highest in the group with neither condition. HRQOL scores differed significantly between the four groups, F(3, 892) = 13.724, p < 0.001, ηp2 = 0.044). HRQOL of participants having only DIP or both DIP and TD was significantly lower than those having neither condition. There was no significant interaction between the presence of DIP and TD on the association with HRQOL. CONCLUSIONS DIP was the main antipsychotic-induced movement disorder associated with a poorer HRQOL in patients with schizophrenia. Therefore, clinicians should focus on prevention, detection, and effective management of DIP to optimize HRQOL in patients with schizophrenia.

[PMID: 35698876 PMCID: PMC8581951 DOI: 10.1017/s2045796021000548] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2021] [Revised: 09/23/2021] [Accepted: 09/24/2021] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
AIMS Patients with brief psychotic episodes (BPE) have variable and fluctuating clinical outcomes which challenge psychiatric care. Our meta-analysis aims at providing a comprehensive summary of several clinical outcomes in this patient group. METHODS A multistep systematic PRISMA/MOOSE-compliant literature search was performed for articles published from inception until 1st March 2021. Web of Science database was searched, complemented by manual search of original articles reporting relevant outcomes (psychotic recurrence, prospective diagnostic change or stability, remission, quality of life, functional status, mortality and their predictors) for patients diagnosed with acute and transient psychotic disorders (ATPD), brief psychotic disorders (BPD), brief intermittent psychotic symptoms (BIPS) and brief limited intermittent psychotic symptoms (BLIPS). Random-effects methods and Q-statistics were employed, quality assessment with Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, assessment of heterogeneity with I2 index, sensitivity analyses (acute polymorphic psychotic disorders, APPD) and multiple meta-regressions, assessment of publication bias with funnel plot, Egger's test and meta-regression (psychotic recurrence and sample size). RESULTS A total of 91 independent articles (n = 94 samples) encompassed 37 ATPD, 24 BPD, 19 BLIPS and 14 BIPS samples, totalling 15 729 individuals (mean age: 30.89 ± 7.33 years, mean female ratio: 60%, 59% conducted in Europe). Meta-analytical risk of psychotic recurrence for all BPE increased from 15% (95% confidence interval (CI) 12-18) at 6 months, 25% (95% CI 22-30) at 12 months, 30% (95% CI 27-33) at 24 months and 33% (95% CI 30-37) at ⩾36 months follow-up, with no differences between ATPD, BPD, BLIPS and BIPS after 2 years of follow-up. Across all BPE, meta-analytical proportion of prospective diagnostic stability (average follow-up 47 months) was 49% (95% CI 42-56); meta-analytical proportion of diagnostic change (average follow-up 47 months) to schizophrenia spectrum psychoses was 19% (95% CI 16-23), affective spectrum psychoses 5% (95% CI 3-7), other psychotic disorders 7% (95% CI 5-9) and other (non-psychotic) mental disorders 14% (95% CI 11-17). Prospective diagnostic change within APPD without symptoms of schizophrenia was 34% (95% CI 24-46) at a mean follow-up of 51 months: 18% (95% CI 11-30) for schizophrenia spectrum psychoses and 17% (95% CI 10-26) for other (non-psychotic) mental disorders. Meta-analytical proportion of baseline employment was 48% (95% CI 38-58), whereas there were not enough data to explore the other outcomes. Heterogeneity was high; female ratio and study quality were negatively and positively associated with risk of psychotic recurrence, respectively. There were no consistent factor predicting clinical outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Short-lived psychotic episodes are associated with a high risk of psychotic recurrences, in particular schizophrenia spectrum disorders. Other clinical outcomes remain relatively underinvestigated. There are no consistent prognostic/predictive factors.

Abstract
PURPOSE Quality of life is increasingly recognised as an important outcome for young people with first episode psychosis (FEP). The first aim was to determine whether distinct homogenous subgroups of young people with FEP could be delineated based on profiles on quality of life domains (Physical Health, Psychological, Social relationships and Environmental). The second aim was to examine the discriminant validity of these subgroups with respect to demographic, functioning and clinical features of FEP. METHOD Quality of life, demographic characteristics, clinical characteristics, cognition and functioning were assessed in 145 people with FEP. Cluster analysis using Ward's methods and Squared Euclidean Distance with a k-means verification were employed to identify subgroups with homogenous quality of life profiles. The clusters were externally validated using multinomial logistic regressions. RESULTS Three distinct quality of life profiles were identified: one with good quality of life across all domains (30%), one with poor quality of life particularly in Psychological and Social relationships domains (28%), and one 'intermediate' group with comparatively low Psychological quality of life (42%). Depression, semantic verbal fluency, social inclusion and social/occupational functioning showed associations with group membership. CONCLUSION Our results suggest the potential of maintaining relatively good quality of life despite the experience of FEP. Future research on interventions to improve quality of life may consider the potential of addressing depression, social inclusion and social/occupational functioning.

Quality of Life and Its Associations with Religiosity and Religious Coping among Outpatients with Psychosis in Singapore. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph18137200. [PMID: 34281137 PMCID: PMC8296895 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph18137200] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2021] [Revised: 06/28/2021] [Accepted: 07/02/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
This cross-sectional study investigated the relationship of religiosity, the use of positive and negative religious coping methods, and quality of life (QOL) among 364 outpatients with psychosis in Singapore. Positive religious coping was significantly associated with better scores on physical (β = 0.51, p = 0.02) and psychological (β = 0.64, p = 0.01) QOL domains in the regression model. Negative religious coping was related to worse QOL in all four domains: physical (β = −0.44, p = 0.03), psychological (β = −0.76, p < 0.01), social (β = −0.54, p = 0.03), and environment (β = −0.65, p < 0.01). Increased participation in organizational religious activities was positively associated with higher QOL for psychological (β = 2.47, p < 0.01), social relationships (β = 2.66, p = 0.01), and environment (β = 2.09, p = 0.01) domains. Interestingly, those with no religious affiliation were found with higher scores in the QOL domain for social relationships (β = 4.59, p = 0.02). Religious coping plays an important role for the QOL of outpatients with psychosis. Greater awareness of the importance of religion in this population may improve cultural competence in treatment. Individuals with psychosis may benefit from greater community support and collaboration between clinical and religious community-based organizations to improve social integration and QOL.

Abstract
Study of first-episode psychosis (FEP), an episode of psychotic nature which manifests for the first time in an individual in the longitudinal continuum of his/her illness, has been study matter of research interest in recent years. A comprehensive review of the literature will help us understand the evolution and trajectory of this concept better. A literature review of available articles addressing the concept, phenomenology, evolution, identification, course, and outcome of FEP was done; the same was subsequently divided into broad topics for better clarity and analyzed. FEP constituted a clinical psychotic phenomenon with underlying significant heterogeneity in diagnosis, stability, course, and outcome. The study has attempted to view FEP both as horizontal spectrum across various diagnoses and longitudinally ranging from asymptomatic individual with unknown risk status to attenuated psychosis to multiple relapses/unremitting illness. Many risk and protective factors have been brought out with varying certainty ranging bio-psycho-social spectrum. Efforts have been made to calculate polygenic risk score based on genes involvement/sharing between various psychotic spectrum disorders; as well as biomarker panels to identify people at risk. FEP may prove to be an important concept to understand psychosis in general; without putting things into the diagnostic rubric. It may help understand multiple risk and protective factors for the course and outcome of psychotic illness and may clear the cloud to sharpen the evidence toward commonality and distinctiveness between various psychotic diagnoses in vogue for more comprehensive concept.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study suicidal behavior in young adult patients with different mental disorders. MATERIAL AND METHODS Two hundred and fifty patients (190 men and 60 women) who committed suicide attempts in youth age over the years 2009-2019 were studied. RESULTS The most common psychological and social characteristics of young adults who attempt suicide, which set prerequisites and define the very mechanisms of suicidal behaviors, are determined. The following psychopathological types of suicidal attempts in this group of patients are identified: 1) Impulsive (30.1%); 2) Demonstrative (20.2%); 3) Overvalued (19.8%); 4) Depersonalization-related (14.9%); 5) Psychotic (10.1%); 6) Self-torturing (4.8%). The types of suicidal attempts correlate with nosologic forms. This finding is important in terms of differential diagnosis and working out therapeutic and socio-rehabilitation strategies. CONCLUSION The dynamic study of the patients showed that the suicidal risk persists throughout the entire period of youth, including after medical intervention. Therefore, long-term and systemic individual pharmaco- and psychotherapy is required.
