To identify risk factors associated with cycle acceleration (CA), that is, progressive decrease in duration of syndrome-free intervals between affective episodes, in acutely admitted patients with bipolar disorder (BD).
All patients (n = 210) with BD I (67%) and BD II (33%) (DSM-IV) acutely admitted to a hospital serving a catchment area were compared in retrospect with regard to a positive or negative history of CA. Putative risk factors of CA with a P-value <0.05 in uni-variate tests were secondly entered into a logistic regression model.
The logistic regression model was statistically significant (P < 0.0001) and explained between 45.3% and 60.5% of the variance of CA status. 83.7% of the cases were correctly classified with a sensitivity of 87.2% and a specificity of 80.4%. Unique significant risk factors of CA were increasing severity of affective episodes (odds ratio (OR) = 28.8), BD II (OR = 3.3), hypomanic/manic episode induced by an antidepressant and/or alcohol (OR = 3.3), and female gender (OR = 3.1).
The clinical factors associated with CA may help targeting patients with BD with a course aggravation, and are in line with previously reported neuropathological processes of illness progression.
确定双相情感障碍(BD)急性入院患者中与发作加速(CA)相关的危险因素,即情感发作之间无症状间隔期的持续时间逐渐缩短。
回顾性比较所有急性入住某服务特定区域医院的BD I型(67%)和BD II型(33%)(DSM-IV)患者的CA阳性或阴性病史。其次,将单变量检验中P值<0.05的CA假定危险因素纳入逻辑回归模型。
逻辑回归模型具有统计学意义(P<0.0001),解释了CA状态方差的45.3%至60.5%。83.7%的病例分类正确,敏感性为87.2%,特异性为80.4%。CA的独特显著危险因素包括情感发作严重程度增加(比值比(OR)=28.8)、BD II型(OR=3.3)、由抗抑郁药和/或酒精诱发的轻躁狂/躁狂发作(OR=3.3)以及女性(OR=3.1)。
与CA相关的临床因素可能有助于确定病情加重的BD患者,并与先前报道的疾病进展神经病理过程一致。
