To obtain age- and gender-specific estimates of the prevalence dementia in Europe to study differences across countries, we pooled re-analysed original data studies carried out some European countries between 1980 1990. The followed these steps: census existing datasets, collection a standardized format, selection datasets suitable for comparison, comparison age gender patterns. From 23 surveys considered, 12 were selected comparison. Only population-based which was defined by DSM-III or...
The incidence of schizophrenia in the African-Caribbean population England is reported to be raised. We sought clarify whether (a) rates other psychotic disorders are increased, (b) psychosis increased ethnic minority groups, and (c) particular age or gender groups especially at risk.We identified all people (n=568) aged 16-64 years presenting secondary services with their first symptoms three well-defined English areas (over a 2-year period Southeast London Nottingham 9-month Bristol)....
Context: Convention suggests uniformity of incidence schizophrenia and other psychoses; variation would have implications for their causes biological characteristics.Objective: To investigate variability in the psychotic syndromes terms place, ethnicity, age, sex.Design: Three-center, prospective, comprehensive survey clinically relevant first-onset over a 2-year period (1997-1999).Census data provided denominator.
An increasing number of studies are demonstrating an association between childhood abuse and psychosis. However, the majority these rely on retrospective self-reports in adulthood that may be unduly influenced by current psychopathology. We therefore set out to explore reliability comparability first-presentation psychosis patients' reports abuse. Psychosis case subjects were drawn from Aetiology Ethnicity Schizophrenia Other Psychoses (ÆSOP) epidemiological study completed Childhood...
Schizophrenia is associated with a marked cognitive impairment that widely believed to remain stable after illness onset. Yet, date, 10-year prospective studies of functioning following the first episode good methodology are rare. The authors examined whether schizophrenia patients experience decline episode, this generalized or confined individual neuropsychological functions, and specific schizophrenia.Participants were from population-based case-control study first-episode psychosis who...
Background. Numerous studies have reported high rates of psychosis in the Black Caribbean and African populations UK. However, few investigated role specific risk factors different ethnic groups. We sought to investigate relationship between long-term separation from, death of, a parent before age 16 adult groups.Method. All patients with first episode who made contact psychiatric services defined catchment areas London Nottingham, UK series community controls were included AESOP (Aetiology...

Aims To investigate differences the prevalence of sexual physical abuse among people with comparison healthy controls. Method The Childhood Experiences Care Abuse Questionnaire was completed to elicit experiences during first-episode cases population-based Results Among women, those group were twice as likely report either or compared...
Background Childhood adversity has been associated with onset of psychosis in adulthood but these studies have used only general definitions this environmental risk indicator. Therefore, we sought to explore the prevalence more specific adverse childhood experiences amongst those and without psychotic disorders using detailed assessments a large epidemiological case-control sample (AESOP). Method Data were collected on 182 first-presentation cases 246 geographically matched controls two UK...
Objective Overwhelming evidence suggests that compromised neuropsychological function is frequently observed in schizophrenia. Neurocognitive dysfunction has often been reported other psychotic disorders, although there are inconsistencies the literature. In context of four distinct diagnostic groups, authors compared performance among patients experiencing their first episode. Method Data were derived from a population-based, case-control study with first-episode psychosis. A test battery...

Aims To investigate clinical social determinants DUP in large sample patients with first episode psychosis. Method All who made contact psychiatric services over 2-year period were living defined catchment areas London Nottingham, UK included ÆSOP study Data relating to variables collected from...

We sought to compare prevalence specific indicators disadvantage and isolation, variations by ethnicity, subjects with a first episode series healthy controls. Method All cases who made contact psychiatric services defined catchment areas London Nottingham, UK community...
With an activity inventory designed specifically for use among elderly people, detailed profiles of customary physical were obtained from 507 old (aged 65-74 years) and 535 very 75 years over) individuals randomly sampled the community. Participation in four categories was assessed: outdoor productive activities; indoor leisure walking. Customary engagement many activities found to be low, age (old versus old) sex being most important determinants participation. The method assessment is...

For this analysis we all White British, other White, AESOP sampling frame. Clinical, socio-demographic...
Background To date, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has made little impact on the diagnosis and monitoring of psychoses in individual patients. In this study, we used a support vector machine (SVM) whole-brain classification approach to predict future illness course at level from MRI data obtained first psychotic episode. Method One hundred patients their episode 91 healthy controls had an scan. Patients were re-evaluated 6.2 years ( s.d .=2.3) later, classified as having continuous,...
Previous research has found that African-Caribbean and Black African patients are likely to come into contact with mental health services via more negative routes, when compared White patients.
