Abstract

Carlson GA, Kotov R, Chang S‐W, Ruggero C, Bromet EJ. Early determinants of four‐year clinical outcomes in bipolar disorder with psychosis. Bipolar Disord 2012: 14: 19–30. © 2012 The Authors. Journal compilation © 2012 John Wiley & Sons A/S. Objective: Bipolar disorder with psychosis is common in inpatient settings and is associated with diverse outcomes after hospital discharge, which can range from a return to premorbid functioning with no recurrence, to a chronic or recurring illness. Less is known, however, about factors that can predict a better or worse clinical outcome. The present study sought to assess four‐year clinical outcomes and their predictors in patients hospitalized for bipolar I disorder with psychosis. Methods: Participants from the Suffolk County Mental Health Project (SCMHP) with a baseline diagnosis of bipolar I disorder with psychotic features (N = 126) were reassessed using face‐to‐face interviews at six months, two years, and four years following their first hospitalization. At each time point, clinical status, role functioning, and treatment were assessed by highly trained interviewers using standardized instruments. Results: The majority of participants (73.2%) returned to their premorbid level of role functioning by the four‐year follow‐up and the median percentage of time ill during the interval was less than 20%. Nevertheless, almost half of the sample (46.9%) was rehospitalized at least once. Psychotic symptoms at baseline (particularly Schneiderian symptoms), depressive phenomenology, childhood psychopathology, and younger age at first hospitalization predicted worse outcome, whereas mood‐incongruent psychotic features and age of mood disorder onset did not. Conclusions: The four‐year outcomes of a first‐admission cohort with bipolar I disorder with psychosis were generally favorable. Poorer premorbid functioning, Schneiderian delusions, greater depressive symptoms, and a younger age of first hospitalization portend a worse course.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
