RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Loneliness reportedly increases the risk of dementia, especially Alzheimer's disease (AD). The authors' previous study demonstrated associations between loneliness and structural abnormalities observed in early-stage AD. The present study examined associations between the brain's functional characteristics and loneliness among older adults with concerns about cognitive decline. METHODS: This single-center study included 43 participants (13 with amnestic mild cognitive impairment and 30 with normal cognition). Participants were assessed with the revised University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) Loneliness Scale and underwent resting-state functional MRI. Functional images were preprocessed with the CONN toolbox. The selected seeds were within brain regions reportedly associated with loneliness. One-sample general linear model analysis was performed to examine regressions of UCLA Loneliness Scale scores and functional connectivity between the seeds and regions of interest. RESULTS: The revised UCLA Loneliness Scale scores were positively correlated with functional connectivity between the right hippocampus and left lateral parietal lobe and were negatively correlated with functional connectivity between the left amygdala and left frontal operculum and between the left amygdala and right supramarginal gyrus. Analyses were adjusted for age, sex, and education and scores on the Mini-Mental State Examination and Clinical Dementia Rating scale. CONCLUSIONS: Loneliness was associated with abnormal function of the hippocampus, parts of the parietal lobe and frontal cortex, and the amygdala. These findings may suggest a possible correlation between loneliness and neurological changes associated with dementia.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Neuropsychiatric symptom could be useful for detecting patients with prodromal dementia. Similarities and differences in the NPSs between preclinical/prodromal Alzheimer's disease (AD) and prodromal Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD)/Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) may exist. This study aimed to compare the NPSs between preclinical/prodromal AD and prodromal PDD/DLB. METHODS: One hundred and three participants without dementia aged ≥50 years were included in this study. The mild behavioral impairment (MBI) total score and the MBI scores for each domain were calculated using the neuropsychiatric inventory questionnaire score. Participants were divided into five groups based on the clinical diagnosis by neurologists or psychiatrists in each institution based on the results of the amyloid positron emission tomography and dopamine transporter single photon emission computed tomography (DAT-SPECT): Group 1: amyloid-positive and abnormal DAT-SPECT, Group 2: amyloid-negative and abnormal DAT-SPECT, Group 3: amyloid-positive and normal DAT-SPECT, Group 4: mild cognitive impairment unlikely due to AD with normal DAT-SPECT, and Group 5: cognitively normal with amyloid-negative and normal DAT-SPECT. RESULTS: The MBI abnormal perception or thought content scores were significantly higher in Group 1 than Group 5 (Bonferroni-corrected p = 0.012). The MBI total score (Bonferroni-corrected p = 0.011) and MBI impulse dyscontrol score (Bonferroni-corrected p = 0.033) in Group 4 were significantly higher than those in Group 5. CONCLUSION: The presence of both amyloid and putative Lewy body pathologies may be associated with psychotic symptoms.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Older adults and individuals with decreased cognition often experience appetite changes and weight loss. As weight loss can result in cognitive decline, change in appetite may be an important contributor to the onset of dementia. However, there is a lack of relevant studies on this topic. This study aimed to determine the relationship between appetite changes, weight loss, and dementia onset. METHODS: A total of 135 patients with normal cognitive function, subjective cognitive impairment, and mild cognitive impairment who were assessed using the Neuropsychiatric Inventory 12 item version (NPI-12) and followed up for at least 1 month were enrolled in the study. All patients underwent a Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Eating problems were assessed using the NPI Eating Problems Score. Appetite and weight loss were assessed at the first visit by caregivers. Kaplan-Meier survival analyses with a log-rank test were used to compare the time to the onset of dementia between the presence or absence of the NPI eating problems, appetite loss, weight loss, or NPI depression scores. Cox proportional hazards regression models using the forced entry method were employed to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) for dementia. RESULTS: Weight loss was significantly related to dementia onset (P = 0.027) in the Kaplan-Meier survival analyses, while eating problems, appetite loss, and depression showed no significant association (P = 0.519, P = 0.326, and P = 0.317, respectively). In the Cox proportional hazards regression models, the MMSE score was found to be a significant factor (P = 0.021, HR = 0.871); moreover, weight loss tended to increase the risk of dementia onset (P = 0.057, HR = 1.694). CONCLUSIONS: Weight loss experienced by older adults could contribute to an increased risk of developing dementia.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Cognitive assessment through communication has been the focus of recent studies because the conventional cognitive tests are often considered invasive for older people. Although the Conversational Assessment of Neurocognitive Dysfunction is designed to assess cognitive function non-invasively, inter-rater reliability remains unclear. The current study investigated the Conversational Assessment of Neurocognitive Dysfunction's reliability. METHODS: The Conversational Assessment of Neurocognitive Dysfunction was used by four clinical psychologists, who evaluated 38 older people with and without cognitive dysfunction. One clinical psychologist evaluated the assessment based on face-to-face communication with participants, while the other clinical psychologists evaluated it according to the audio data in the digital voice recorder. All clinical psychologists were blind to the results of other conventional cognitive tests and details surrounding participants' daily living activities. RESULTS: The univariate correlation scores of the Conversational Assessment of Neurocognitive Dysfunction among evaluators ranged from 0.61 to 0.79, all of which were significant (P < 0.001). The intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.64 (P < 0.001, 95% CI: 0.53-0.79 for agreement) and 0.67 (P < 0.001, 95% CI: 0.45-0.77 for consistency). The Conversational Assessment of Neurocognitive Dysfunction score of all evaluators was significantly associated with conventional cognitive tests like the Mini-Mental State Examination (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggested that the Conversational Assessment of Neurocognitive Dysfunction has moderate to good inter-rater reliability and high concurrent validity as a cognitive assessment tool, and it would be useful in clinical practice.

RESUMO

When collecting large amounts of neuroimaging data associated with psychiatric disorders, images must be acquired from multiple sites because of the limited capacity of a single site. However, site differences represent a barrier when acquiring multisite neuroimaging data. We utilized a traveling-subject dataset in conjunction with a multisite, multidisorder dataset to demonstrate that site differences are composed of biological sampling bias and engineering measurement bias. The effects on resting-state functional MRI connectivity based on pairwise correlations because of both bias types were greater than or equal to psychiatric disorder differences. Furthermore, our findings indicated that each site can sample only from a subpopulation of participants. This result suggests that it is essential to collect large amounts of neuroimaging data from as many sites as possible to appropriately estimate the distribution of the grand population. Finally, we developed a novel harmonization method that removed only the measurement bias by using a traveling-subject dataset and achieved the reduction of the measurement bias by 29% and improvement of the signal-to-noise ratios by 40%. Our results provide fundamental knowledge regarding site effects, which is important for future research using multisite, multidisorder resting-state functional MRI data.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to clarify the diagnostic performance and neural basis of the Clock Drawing Test (CDT) combining free- and pre-drawn methods. METHODS: This retrospective study included 165 participants (91 with Alzheimer disease [AD], 52 with amnestic mild cognitive impairment [aMCI], and 22 healthy controls [HC]), who were divided into four groups according to their free- and pre-drawn CDT scores: group 1, could do both; group 2, impaired in both; group 3, impaired in pre-drawn CDT; and group 4, impaired in free-drawn CDT. The diagnostic performances of the free-drawn, pre-drawn, and combination methods were compared using receiver operating characteristics analysis; in voxel-based morphometry analysis, the gray matter (GM) volume of groups 2-4 were compared with that of group 1. RESULTS: The area under the curve of the combination method was greater than that of the free- or pre-drawn method alone when comparing AD with HC or aMCI. Group 2 had a significantly smaller GM volume in the bilateral temporal lobes than group 1. Group 3 had a trend toward smaller GM volumes in the right temporal lobe when a liberal threshold was applied. Group 4 had significantly smaller GM volumes in the left temporal lobe than group 1. CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that the combination method may be able to screen for a wider range of brain dysfunction. Combined use of free- and pre-drawn CDT may be useful for screening for AD and its early detection and treatment.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Loneliness has been shown to increase the risk of dementia. However, it is unclear why greater loneliness is associated with greater susceptibility to dementia. Herein, we aimed to examine the morphological characteristics of the brain associated with loneliness in older people concerned about cognitive dysfunction. METHODS: In this retrospective study, 110 participants (80 with amnestic mild cognitive impairment, and 30 cognitively healthy individuals) were included. Participants were assessed using the revised University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) loneliness scale and had undergone magnetic resonance imaging. Spearman correlation analysis and Mann-Whitney U tests were used to examine the clinical factors associated with loneliness. Multiple regression was performed to examine the relationship between the revised UCLA loneliness scale score and regional gray matter (GM) volume on voxel-based morphometry. RESULTS: The revised UCLA loneliness scale scores were not significantly correlated with age, sex, or mini-mental state examination (MMSE) scores. Multiple regression using age, sex, MMSE score, and total brain volume as covariates showed negative correlations of the revised UCLA loneliness scale scores with the grey matter volume in regions centered on the bilateral thalamus, left hippocampus and left parahippocampal gyrus, and left entorhinal area. CONCLUSIONS: Subjective loneliness was associated with decreased GM volume in the bilateral thalamus, left hippocampus, and left entorhinal cortex of the brain in the older people, thereby providing a morphological basis for the increased risk of dementia associated with greater loneliness.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Antipsychotic (AP) polypharmacy (APP), the coprescription of more than 1 AP, is frequently practiced in psychiatric inpatients and is considered to be a risk factor for adverse drug events (ADEs). However, the association between APP and ADEs among psychiatric inpatients has not been well investigated. METHODS: The Japan Adverse Drug Events (JADE) study was a series of cohort studies conducted in several clinical settings. In particular, the JADE study for psychiatric inpatients was a retrospective cohort study of 448 psychiatric inpatients with a cumulative 22,733 patient-days. We investigated the relationship between APP, defined as a concurrent prescription of 2 or more APs and ADEs. We also assessed the relationship between potential risk factors for ADEs due to APs. RESULTS: Among the 448 patients included in this study, 106 patients (24%) had APP and the remaining 342 patients were prescribed 1 AP or none. Risperidone was the most frequent drug (25%, 109/442 AP prescriptions) used, and levomepromazine was most frequently prescribed as a concurrent medication with other APs (91%, 29/32). The median number of ADEs among the patients with APP was significantly higher than in those without APP (P = 0.001). Antipsychotic polypharmacy was a risk factor for the occurrence of first (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.54; 95% confidence interval, 1.15-2.04) and second (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.99; 95% confidence interval, 1.40-2.79) ADEs. CONCLUSIONS: Antipsychotic polypharmacy was a risk factor for the occurrence of single and multiple ADEs. Antipsychotic polypharmacy should be conservatively and minimally practiced.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Loneliness is considered to be a crucial factor in mental health of elderly people. However, the effects of loneliness on behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) have not been fully examined. The aim of this study was to investigate whether loneliness in patients with dementia is related to BPSD. METHODS: A total of 152 patients with dementia were assessed using the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI-12) and the revised University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) loneliness scale. Spearman correlation analysis and Mann-Whitney U-tests were used to examine factors associated with the revised UCLA loneliness scale. Logistic regression analysis with a forced entry method was performed to identify risk factors for BPSD. RESULTS: The revised UCLA loneliness scale score was not significantly associated with age, years of education, mini-mental state examination (MMSE) score, gender, living status, visual impairment, hearing impairment, and marital status. However, this score was a significant predictor of NPI delusion and hallucination subscale scores and Geriatric Depression Scale-15 score. The MMSE score was a significant predictor of NPI anxiety and apathy subscale scores. CONCLUSIONS: Loneliness is a risk factor for BPSD, especially for depressive symptoms and psychosis. Paying attention to loneliness in patients with dementia will help medical staff to intervene in psychiatric symptoms of these patients at an early stage.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Several studies have investigated the association between benzodiazepine receptor agonist (BZDRA) use during the perioperative period and an elevated incidence of delirium. However, no study has focused on the time course of BZDRA use, including continuation, discontinuation, initiation, and no use. This study aimed to examine the influence of the time course of BZDRA use on post-operative delirium. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study was conducted by reviewing medical records. We included patients who were scheduled for surgery under general anesthesia and had been referred to a liaison psychiatrist for pre-operative psychiatric assessment. The patients were classified into four groups based on the pre- and post-operative time course of oral BZDRA use, as follows: continuation, discontinuation, initiation, and no use (never used). The primary outcome was the prevalence of post-operative delirium in non-intensive care unit settings. We also performed stratified analyses according to age, the presence of cognitive impairment, the presence of delirium history, and antipsychotic drug use on admission. RESULTS: Among 250 patients, 78 (31%) developed post-operative delirium. The Discontinuation group had a higher rate of delirium (49%, 24/49) than the other groups (Continuation [14%, 4/29]; Initiation [38%, 3/8], Never used [29%, 47/164], p = 0.008). CONCLUSIONS: Abrupt discontinuation of BZDRAs during the perioperative period may be a risk factor for post-operative delirium and should therefore be avoided.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Being diagnosed with dementia is a confronting experience for any individual and their caregiver. However, a diagnosis provides opportunity for future preparation for management of the condition. This study investigated attitudes toward dementia and preferences for diagnosis among a sample of health service consumers in Japan. METHODS: Participants were patients or accompanying support persons (n = 217) who visited the specialty outpatient clinic of four hospital departments. The survey was conducted using an iPad with answers sent automatically to a secure server. The survey included items about the participants' most feared diseases and the reasons behind those fears, estimates of dementia prevalence in Japan, and preferences regarding a diagnosis of dementia and the reasons for their preference. RESULTS: The most feared disease was cancer (43.8 %), followed by dementia (18 %). Those selecting dementia most commonly reported practical, emotional and social impacts as the reasons why they most feared this condition. Almost all participants preferred to know the diagnosis of dementia as soon as possible for themselves, with significantly fewer preferring their spouse to know as soon as possible if they had dementia (95.9 % for self vs. 67.5 % for partner/spouse, p < 0.001). On average, participants estimated that 18.1 % of Japanese people are diagnosed with dementia by age 65, while they thought that 43.7 % of Japanese people are diagnosed with dementia by age 85. CONCLUSIONS: The findings highlight a need for community education about the significant impacts of dementia on the lives of individuals and their caregivers. People were more reluctant for their spouse to receive a diagnosis as soon as possible if they had dementia. Physicians should sensitively disclose diagnosis and ensure they involve both the patient and their relatives in discussions about diagnosis disclosure.

RESUMO

This study examines the socio-economic factors influencing public awareness of the adult guardianship and civil trust systems in Japan. The results of this study show that financial literacy is the most influential factor affecting knowledge of the adult guardianship and civil trust systems. Gender, age, living alone, income, and assets are also found to be related to knowledge about these systems, but they are not consistent. We argue that policy makers should emphasize financial literacy and conduct targeted promotion campaigns to help those living with dementia to continue to participate in and benefit from economic activities.

RESUMO

AIM: Pineal parenchymal volume (PPV) reduction is one of the predisposing factors for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Therefore, PPV could be used as a predictor of developing AD in clinical settings. We investigated whether PPV in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) was correlated with conversion of these patients to AD. METHODS: A total of 237 patients with MCI underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging. A two-sample t-test was used to compare PPV at baseline in MCI patients who converted to AD (MCI-C) with those who did not convert (MCI-NC). Logistic regression analysis with forced entry was used to identify predictors of AD, with variables of PPV, age, sex, education, APOE-ε4 alleles, Mini Mental State Examination score, and total intracranial volume at baseline. Two-way repeated-measures analysis of variance was conducted to compare PPV at baseline and at the last examination in the MCI-C and MCI-NC groups. RESULTS: PPV in the MCI-C group was significantly lower than that in the MCI-NC group. In logistic regression analysis, two independent predictors of AD were identified: Mini Mental State Examination and PPV. Two-way repeated-measures analysis of variance revealed a significant group effect, but no time effect. CONCLUSION: The pineal volume is a predictor of AD conversion, and pineal volume reduction in AD starts early when patients are still in the MCI stage. Thus, pineal volume reduction might be useful as a predictor of developing AD in clinical settings.

RESUMO

AIM: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of cognitive decline on household spending. METHODS: The panel data covered the years 2007-2009 and were taken from the Japanese Study of Aging and Retirement, with data extracted for 253 participants aged 65 years and over. Sociodemographic characteristics, functional status, depressive symptoms, and monthly household spending excluding spending for shelter (e.g. mortgage) were used in the analysis. Cognitive function was evaluated by delayed recall and serial 7s and represented by the sum of both scores. Changes in spending and cognitive function scores were calculated by subtracting 2007 scores from 2009 scores. Participants were divided into two groups: cognitive decline and no cognitive decline. The effect of cognitive decline on changes in household spending was estimated. RESULTS: Although the cognitive decline group had more severe depressive symptoms than the no cognitive decline group in 2009, cognitive decline was the only factor related to change in household spending. CONCLUSION: The results imply that cognitive decline may cause a decline in household spending in older people. Focusing on changes in household spending behaviour might help detect cognitive impairment in older people.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to clarify the frequency of perioperative psychiatric symptom worsening among patients with psychiatric disorders and investigate factors predictive of symptom aggravation. METHOD: This study adopted a retrospective cohort study design. The sample consisted of perioperative inpatients who were diagnosed with psychiatric disorders on admission and received psychiatric intervention between January 1, 2015 and November 31, 2017. RESULTS: Of 176 inpatients who met our inclusion criteria, 15 (8.5%) exhibited symptom worsening. Factors associated with symptom worsening included changes in surface morphology during surgery (p<0.01; odds ratio (OR)=10.58; 95% confidence interval (CI), 3.40-32.87), otolaryngological surgery (p=0.01; OR=6.95; 95% CI, 1.81-26.75), stay in the intensive care unit (p<0.01; OR=5.65; 95% CI, 1.79-17.81), and surgery duration longer than 180min (p=0.03; OR=3.40; 95% CI, 1.04-11.13). CONCLUSION: This was the first retrospective analysis to focus on the perioperative worsening of psychiatric symptoms. As only few inpatients exhibited symptom aggravation, general hospitals without psychiatric beds can receive perioperative patients with psychiatric comorbidity. However, caution should be exercised to address the potential worsening of symptoms in cases of surface-morphology changing surgery, otolaryngological surgery, long-duration operations, and when ICU stay is required.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of interactions between memory impairment, depressive symptoms, and anosognosia. METHODS: Anosognosia for memory impairment was assessed in 118 patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), 47 patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and 17 non-diagnosed controls (NC) using a questionnaire and evaluation of the anosognosia score as the discrepancy between ratings of the patient and a relative. Demographic characteristics, such as the relationship of the patient with the relative and the activities of daily living (ADL) were evaluated. Memory impairment was evaluated with the Rivermead Behavioral Memory Test (RBMT), depressive symptoms were evaluated using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) 15 items version. RESULTS: In the MCI group, a stepwise multiple regression analysis showed an interaction between RBMT and GDS scores, and simple slope analysis indicated that scores for RBMT at low GDS (-1 standard deviation) were positively correlated with self-rated memory impairment. In the AD group, the relationship of the patient with the relative, ADL, and GDS and RBMT scores were associated with the anosognosia score. CONCLUSION: Patients with MCI who have no depressive symptoms may be able to more accurately evaluate their memory impairment than those who have depressive symptoms and patients with AD. The evaluation by relatives, depressive symptoms or ADL of patients may distort evaluation of anosognosia for memory impairment in patients with AD or MCI. It seems necessary to include not only depression scale scores but also results of objective memory tests in the patients' medical information for the correct assessment of anosognosia.

RESUMO

Anxiety is one of the most common mental states of humans. Although it drives us to avoid frightening situations and to achieve our goals, it may also impose significant suffering and burden if it becomes extreme. Because we experience anxiety in a variety of forms, previous studies investigated neural substrates of anxiety in a variety of ways. These studies revealed that individuals with high state, trait, or pathological anxiety showed altered neural substrates. However, no studies have directly investigated whether the different dimensions of anxiety share a common neural substrate, despite its theoretical and practical importance. Here, we investigated a brain network of anxiety shared by different dimensions of anxiety in a unified analytical framework using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). We analyzed different datasets in a single scale, which was defined by an anxiety-related brain network derived from whole brain. We first conducted the anxiety provocation task with healthy participants who tended to feel anxiety related to obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in their daily life. We found a common state anxiety brain network across participants (1585 trials obtained from 10 participants). Then, using the resting-state fMRI in combination with the participants' behavioral trait anxiety scale scores (879 participants from the Human Connectome Project), we demonstrated that trait anxiety shared the same brain network as state anxiety. Furthermore, the brain network between common to state and trait anxiety could detect patients with OCD, which is characterized by pathological anxiety-driven behaviors (174 participants from multi-site datasets). Our findings provide direct evidence that different dimensions of anxiety have a substantial biological inter-relationship. Our results also provide a biologically defined dimension of anxiety, which may promote further investigation of various human characteristics, including psychiatric disorders, from the perspective of anxiety.

RESUMO

Purpose To evaluate pineal volume in patients with Alzheimer disease (AD), patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and healthy control subjects and to correlate the findings with results of cognitive testing and brain parenchymal volumes. Materials and Methods The ethics committee approved this retrospective study. The participants included 63 patients with AD, 33 patients with MCI, and 24 healthy control subjects. There were 36 men and 84 women, with a mean age (±standard deviation) of 76.7 years ± 7.6. The pineal gland volume and pineal parenchymal volume were measured by using three-dimensional volumetric magnetic resonance imaging (T1-weighted magnetization-prepared rapid gradient-echo sequence; spatial resolution, 0.9 × 0.98 × 0.98 mm). With age and total intracranial volume as covariates, analysis of covariance with the Bonferroni post hoc test was performed to compare the pineal volume among the AD, MCI, and control groups. Multiple regression analyses were used to identify predictor variables associated with pineal volume. Results The mean pineal gland volume in patients with AD (72.3 mm3 ± 5.4; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 61.5 mm3, 83.1 mm3) was significantly smaller than that in control subjects (102.1 mm3 ± 9.0; 95% CI: 84.4 mm3, 119.9 mm3) (P = .019). The mean pineal parenchymal volume in patients with AD (63.8 mm3 ± 4.2; 95% CI: 55.4 mm3, 72.1 mm3) was significantly smaller than that in patients with MCI (81.7 mm3 ± 5.8; 95% CI: 70.3 mm3, 93.1 mm3; P = .044) and control subjects (89.1 mm3 ± 6.9; 95% CI: 75.4 mm3, 102.9 mm3; P = .009). Multiple regression analyses demonstrated that the Mini-Mental State Examination score and total intracranial volume were significant independent predictors of both pineal gland volume and pineal parenchymal volume (P < .001). Conclusion Pineal volume reduction showed correlation with cognitive decline and thus might be useful to predict cognitive decline in patients with AD. © RSNA, 2017.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Many studies reported the high prevalence of problematic internet use (PIU) among adolescents (13-50%), and PIU was associated with various psychiatric symptoms. In contrast, only a few studies investigated the prevalence among the adult population (6%). This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of PIU and psychiatric co-morbidity among adult psychiatric patients. METHODS: Three hundred thirty-three adult psychiatric patients were recruited over a 3-month period. Two hundred thirty-one of them completed the survey (response rate: 69.4%, 231/333; Male/Female/Transgender: 90/139/2; mean age = 42.2). We divided participants into "normal internet users" and "problematic internet users" using a combination of Young's Internet Addiction Test (IAT) and the Compulsive Internet Use Scale (CIUS). Demographic data and comorbid psychiatric symptoms were compared between the two groups using self-rating scales measuring insomnia (Athens Insomnia Scale, AIS), depression (Beck Depression Inventory, BDI), anxiety (State-trait Anxiety Inventory, STAI), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (Adult ADHD Self-report Scale, ASRS), autism (Autism Spectrum Quotient, AQ), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) (Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory, OCI), social anxiety disorder (SAD) (Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale, LSAS), alcohol abuse, and impulsivity (Barratt Impulsive Scale, BIS). RESULTS: Among 231 respondents, 58 (25.1%) were defined as problematic internet users, as they scored high on the IAT (40 or more) or CIUS (21 or more). The age of problematic internet users was significantly lower than that of normal internet users (p < 0.001, Mann-Whitney U test). The problematic internet users scored significantly higher on scales measuring sleep problems (AIS, 8.8 for problematic internet users vs 6.3 for normal internet users, p < 0.001), depression (BDI, 27.4 vs 18.3, p < 0.001), trait anxiety (STAI, 61.8 vs 53.9, p < 0.001), ADHD (ASRS, part A 3.1 vs 1.8 and part B 3.5 vs 1.8, p < 0.001), autism (AQ, 25.9 vs 21.6, p < 0.001), OCD (OCI, 63.2 vs 36.3, p < 0.001), SAD (LSAS, 71.4 vs 54.0, p < 0.001), and impulsivity (BIS, 67.4 vs 63.5, p = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of PIU among adult psychiatric patients is relatively high. As previous studies reported in the general population, lower age and psychiatric comorbidity were associated with PIU among adult psychiatric patients. More research is needed to determine any causal relations between PIU and psychopathological illnesses.
