    Abstract: Background: Public attitudes towards a given medical procedure can have a significant influence on the employment of that method. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a medical procedure that has received an exceptionally ambiguous public reception since its inception. Aim: To survey the level of information about and attitudes towards ECT in a general population sample of the Chuvash Republic of the Russian Federation. Methods: A randomly selected cohort of 5,373 people was contacted by telephone. The respondents were asked three closed and three open questions. Results: The response rate was 74.7%. Only 35.2% of those interviewed said they knew anything about ECT. Health professionals and younger respondents were better informed. The two main sources of information about ECT were foreign films and the mass media. The main indication of ECT was thought to be schizophrenia. The majority (63.3%) of the respondents had negative opinions and emotions about ECT. Conclusion: Limited information about and generally negative attitudes towards ECT were found in the general population of the Chuvash Republic. Gender, age, education level, employment in the health industry, and information source were found to be the determining factors in the knowledge of and attitudes towards ECT.

    Abstract: This study attempted to evaluate the psychosocial, clinical, and radiological predictors of poststroke depression (PSD) in Chinese patients. One hundred eighty-nine patients participated in the study. Three months after the index stroke, a psychiatrist administered the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV to all of the patients and made a DSM-IV diagnosis of depression. In addition, a host of demographic, clinical, and radiological variables were examined. Thirty-one (16.4%) of the patients had a diagnosis of PSD that included major depression (n = 11, 5.8%,), minor depression (n = 16, 8.5%), or dysthymia (n = 4, 2.1%). Univariate analysis revealed that PSD was associated with female gender, a lower level of education, a lower Lubben Social Network Scale (LSNS) score, subcortical infarcts, and lesions in the anterior cerebral artery (ACA) territory, and the Modified Life Event Scale (MLES) score was borderline for statistical significance. Multivariate logistic regression analysis suggested that female gender, a high MLES score, and subcortical and ACA lesions were independent risk factors for PSD and that a high LSNS score was a protective factor.

    Frequency and Clinical Determinants of Poststroke Cognitive Impairment in Nondemented Stroke Patients
    SAGE Publications ; 2006

    Abstract: The objective of this study was to examine the prevalence and clinical correlates of poststroke cognitive impairment in Chinese stroke patients in Hong Kong. One hundred seventy-nine stroke patients were interviewed by a psychiatrist 3 months after their stroke. Cognitive impairment was determined according to the Mini-Mental State Examination score. Thirty-nine participants (21.8%) had cognitive impairment. Univariate analysis found that cognitive impairment was associated with age, female sex, level of education, previous stroke, prestroke Rankin score, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale dysarthria and total scores, urinary incontinence, and cerebral atrophy index. Multivariate logistic regression suggested that female sex, education, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale dysarthria score, urinary incontinence, and atrial fibrillation were independent risk factors of poststroke cognitive impairment. After removal of 54 patients with previous stroke from the sample, the frequency of cognitive impairment decreased to 18.4%. It was concluded that cognitive impairment is common among nondemented Chinese stroke patients in Hong Kong.

    In: Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry and Neurology, SAGE Publications, Vol. 18, No. 1 ( 2005-03), p. 3-7
    Abstract: There have been no data on the performance of the Initiation-Perseveration subtest of the Mattis Dementia Rating Scale (MDRS-IP) in screening poststroke dementia (PSDE). Three months after the index stroke, a research assistant administered the MDRS-IP and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) to 83 Chinese stroke patients with lacunar infarcts who were consecutively admitted to the stroke unit of a general hospital. A psychiatrist, who was blind to the MDRS-IP and MMSE scores, interviewed all 83 patients and made a Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th edition) diagnosis of dementia, which served as the benchmark for judging the performance of MDRSIP. The optimal cutoff point of MDRS-IP was 22/23. The sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of MDRS-IP, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve were 82%, 90%, 0.41, 0.98, and 0.91, respectively. The overall performance of the MDRS-IP was comparable to the MMSE. ( J Geriatr Psychiatry Neurol 2005;18:3-7)

    Pontine Microbleeds and Depression in Stroke
    SAGE Publications ; 2014
    In:  Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry and Neurology Vol. 27, No. 3 ( 2014-09), p. 159-164
    Details
    In: Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry and Neurology, SAGE Publications, Vol. 27, No. 3 ( 2014-09), p. 159-164
    Abstract: Depression is the most common affective disorder following stroke yet the neuroanatomical model of poststroke depression (PSD) remains unclear. This study examined the association between PSD and cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) and hypothesized that CMBs in specific regions would be associated with PSD. Methods: Of the 4766 patients with first ever or recurrent acute ischemic stroke admitted to the Acute Stroke Unit of the Prince of Wales Hospital between June 2004 and October 2010, 229 met the entry criteria and formed the study sample. Patients with a Geriatric Depression Scale score of 7 or above were classified as having PSD. The presence and location of CMBs were evaluated with magnetic resonance imaging. Results: Compared to the non-PSD group, patients with PSD were more likely to have pontine CMBs (32.0% vs 18.2%; P = .019). The presence of pontine CMBs remained an independent predictor of PSD in the multivariate analysis, with an odds ratio of 2.2 ( P = .016). Conclusion: The results suggest that pontine CMBs are associated with a higher risk of developing PSD.

    In: Australian & New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry, SAGE Publications, Vol. 44, No. 5 ( 2010-05), p. 456-462
    Abstract: Objective: The aim of the present study was to explore the rate of cigarette smoking and its sociodemographic and clinical characteristics in Chinese schizophrenia patients. Methods: In a multicentre, randomized, controlled, longitudinal study, 374 clinically stable patients with schizophrenia were interviewed at entry using standardized assessment instruments, and followed up for 1–2 years. Results: The rate of cigarette smoking was 13.9% in the whole sample, and 26.2% in men and 3.5% in women. On univariate analysis, male sex, unemployment, alcohol consumption, older age, older age at onset, longer duration of illness, more frequent admissions, more severe hostility–excitement at entry and less deterioration in hostility–excitement over the study period were significantly associated with cigarette smoking. On multivariate analysis, male sex, unemployment, alcohol consumption, more frequent admissions, less severe positive and negative symptoms at entry, smaller decline in negative symptoms and more deterioration in disorganized thoughts over the study period were independently associated with cigarette smoking. Conclusion: The rate of cigarette smoking in Chinese schizophrenia patients is considerably lower than most figures reported in the Western literature.

    Lifetime Prevalence of Suicidal Ideation, Suicide Plans and Attempts in Rural and Urban Regions of Beijing, China
    SAGE Publications ; 2009

    In: Australian & New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry, SAGE Publications, Vol. 43, No. 2 ( 2009-02), p. 158-166
    Abstract: Objective: There has been no large-scale survey of suicide-related behaviours including suicidal ideations, plans and attempts in China involving both rural and urban areas and using standardized assessment tools. The aim of the present study was to determine the lifetime prevalence of suicide-related behaviour and its relationship with sociodemographic factors and psychiatric disorders in the rural and urban regions of Beijing, China. Methods: A total of 5926 subjects were randomly selected in Beijing and interviewed using the Composite International Diagnostic Interview. Basic sociodemographic and clinical data and data on suicide-related behaviour were also collected. Results: The overall lifetime prevalence estimates of suicidal ideation, plans and attempts were 2.3%, 1.4%, and 1.0%, respectively; the corresponding figures were 2.8%, 1.6%, and 1.3% in the rural sample, and 1.8%, 1.3%, and 0.9% in the urban sample. Age ( 〉 25years), female sex, unmarried status, lower education level, lower ( 〈 RMB500month −1 ) or higher ( 〉 RMB2000month −1 ) monthly income and presence of major medical disorders were significantly associated with increased risk of suicide-related behaviour. 36.2% of subjects with suicide-related behavior consulted a medical practitioner and 20.7% consulted a psychiatrist. Conclusions: The prevalence of lifetime suicide-related behaviour in Beijing is lower than in Western countries, but the low percentage of subjects treated for suicide-related behaviour indicates a major public health problem that should be addressed. National surveys are needed to further explore the prevalence of suicide-related behaviour in China.

    Abstract: Objective: The aim of the present study was to determine the sociodemographic and clinical correlates of the gender of Chinese schizophrenia outpatients and their impact on patients quality of life (QOL). Methods: Two hundred and fifty-five clinically stable schizophrenia outpatients were randomly selected in Hong Kong. Counterparts matched according to gender, age, age at onset, and length of illness were recruited in Beijing, China. All of the subjects at both sites were interviewed by the same investigator using standardized assessment instruments. Results: The combined Beijing–Hong Kong sample contained 251 male and 254 female patients. On univariate analysis more male patients were employed, they had a significantly higher monthly income, and took higher doses of antipsychotic drugs. No difference was found, however, in any of the QOL domains between the genders. On multivariate analysis being employed, taking a higher dose of antipsychotic drugs, having more severe extrapyramidal side-effects, and a higher score on the physical domain of QOL were independently associated with male gender. Conclusion: Female gender is independently associated with lower scores on the physical aspects of QOL, but there is no difference between the genders in the psychological, social and environmental aspects.
