Group psychoeducation for stabilised bipolar disorders: 5-year outcome of a randomised clinical trial
Open accessAbstract
Background: The long-term efficacy of psychological interventions for bipolar disorders has not been tested. Aims: This study assessed the efficacy of group psychoeducation to prevent recurrences and to reduce time spent ill for people with bipolar disorders. Method: A randomised controlled trial with masked outcome assessment comparing group psychoeducation and non-structured group intervention during 5-year follow-up. One hundred and twenty people with bipolar disorders were included in the study and 99 completed 5-year follow-up. Time to any recurrence, number of recurrences, total number of days spent ill, frequency and length of hospitalisations were the main outcome measures. Results: At the 5-year follow-up, time to any recurrence was longer for the psychoeducation group (log rank=9.953, P <0.002). The psychoeducation group had fewer recurrences (3.86 v. 8.37, F =23.6, P <0.0001) of any type and they spent less time acutely ill (154 v. 586 days, F =31.66, P =0.0001). The median number of days of hospitalisation per hospitalised participant was also lower for the psychoeducation group (45 v. 30, F =4.26, P =0.047). Conclusions: Six-month group psychoeducation has long-lasting prophylactic effects in individuals with bipolar disorders. Group psychoeducation is the first psychological intervention showing such a long-term maintained efficacy in people with bipolar disorders.

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.
