Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Recent studies have suggested that early adverse events, such as childhood trauma, may promote enduring liability for psychosis whereas more recent adverse events may act as precipitants. Examination of these environmental dynamics, however, requires prospective studies in large samples. This study examines whether the association between recent adverse events and psychosis is moderated by exposure to early adversity. METHOD: A random regional representative population sample of 3021 adolescents and young adults in Munich, Germany, was assessed three times over a period of up to 10 years, collecting information on sociodemographic factors, environmental exposures, and measures of psychopathology and associated clinical relevance. Evidence of statistical non-additivity between early adversity (two levels) and more recent adversity (four levels) was assessed in models of psychotic symptoms. Analyses were a priori corrected for age, gender, cannabis use, and urbanicity. RESULTS: Early and recent adversity were associated with each other (RR = 1.32, 95% CI 1.06-1.66; P = 0.014) and displayed statistical non-additivity at the highest level of exposure to recent adversity (χ(2) = 4.59; P = 0.032). CONCLUSION: The findings suggest that early adversity may impact on later expression of psychosis either by increasing exposure to later adversity and/or by rendering individuals more sensitive to later adversity if it is severe.

  • The association between recent adversity and psychotic symptoms was much stronger in individuals exposed to early adversity compared with those who were not.

    “The authors concluded that the association between recent adversity and psychotic symptoms was much stronger in individuals exposed to early adversity compared with those who were not.”
  • Lataster et al., in a prospective study of over 3000 adolescents, found that both childhood and recent adversity were associated with increased psychotic symptoms and psychotic impairments (defined as either social dysfunction or seeking help for symptoms of psychosis).

    “Lataster et al. , in a prospective study of over 3000 adolescents, found that both childhood and recent adversity were associated with increased psychotic symptoms and psychotic impairments (defined as either social dysfunction or seeking help for symptoms of psychosis) [40] .”
  • An interaction effect was observed between early adversity, recent adversity and psychosis, with an adjusted odds ratio of 4.1 for symptoms of psychosis and 6.4 for psychotic impairments.

    “Furthermore, an interaction effect was observed between early adversity, recent adversity and psychosis, with an adjusted odds ratio of 4.1 for symptoms of psychosis and 6.4 for psychotic impairments.”
  • Stressful and adverse experiences are associated with an increased risk of developing a psychotic disorder, although this relationship may be partially mediated by familial risk factors.

    “Stressful and adverse experiences are associated with an increased risk of developing a psychotic disorder(108), although this relationship may be partially mediated by familial risk factors (109).”

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.
