| Abstrakt: | Objectives: This retrospective study aims to investigate the evolution and clinical course of psychotic disorders from three large international cohorts of individuals with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS) (Tel Aviv, Philadelphia, and Geneva). Methods: We followed 118 individuals with 22q11.2DS from several years before the onset to several years after the onset of psychotic disorders. Data from structured baseline assessment of psychiatric disorders, symptoms of prodrome, indicators and types of psychotic disorders were collected. Additionally, cognitive evaluation was conducted using the age-appropriate Wechsler Intelligence Scale. Electronic medical records were reviewed for medication usage, occupational status, living situation, and psychiatric hospitalizations. Results: At baseline evaluation, the most common psychiatric disorders were anxiety disorder (80%) and attention/deficit hyperactivity disorder (50%). The age of onset of prodromal symptoms and conversion to psychotic disorders were 18.6 ± 6.8 and 20.3 ± 7.2, respectively. The most common prodromal symptoms were exacerbation of anxiety symptoms and social isolation. Of the psychotic disorders, schizophrenia was the most common, occurring in 49% of cases. History of at least one psychiatric hospitalization was present in 43% of participants, and the number of psychiatric hospitalizations was 2.1 ± 1.4. Compared to the normalized chart, IQ scores in our cohort were lower after vs. before conversion to psychosis. Following conversion there was a decrease in the use of stimulants and antidepressants and an increase in antipsychotics use, and most individuals with 22q11.2DS were unemployed and lived with their parents. Conclusions: Our results indicate that 22q11.2DS psychosis is like non-22q11.2DS in its course, symptoms, and cognitive and functional impairments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
