    (SEP y SEPB. Published by Elsevier España., 2015) Hidalgo-Mazzei, Diego; Undurraga, Juan; Reinares, María; Bonnin, Caterina del Mar; Sáez, Cristina; Mur, María; Nieto, Evaristo; Vieta, Eduard
    ntroducción El Trastorno Bipolar (TB) es una enfermedad con frecuentes recaídas y remisiones que afecta a aproximadamente el 1 al 2% de la población mundial. Aún con la eficacia de los tratamientos disponibles actualmente, las recaídas son frecuentes. Por tanto, el costo y consumo de recursos asociados a cada nuevo episodio tienen un impacto importante en el sistema sanitario. El principal objetivo de este estudio fue el de estimar los costos directos y recursos sanitarios empleados durante el tratamiento de episodios maníacos en la práctica clínica diaria, teniendo en cuenta además variables clínicas. Métodos Fueron incluidos de manera consecutiva pacientes quiénes hayan presentado recientemente un episodio maníaco agudo según los criterios del DSM-IV. Se recogieron de manera retrospectiva variables sociodemográficas y durante los siguientes 6 meses se realizaron evaluaciones clínicas sistemáticas que incluían YMRS,HDRS-17,FAST and CGI-BP-M. El consumo de recursos sanitarios y los costos asociados fueron estimados a partir de los días de hospitalización, el tratamiento farmacológico, las visitas a urgencias y ambulatorias. Resultados Se incluyeron 169 pacientes de 4 hospitales universitarios de Cataluña, España. El costo directo medio de cada episodio maníaco fue de €4771. De estos, 77% (€3651) correspondía a los costos de hospitalización, 14% (€684) al tratamiento farmacológico, 8% (€386) a las visitas ambulatorias y solo 1% (€50) a visitas en urgencias. Los días de hospitalización fueron el mayor componente del costo total. Un puntaje inicial de FAST >41 predijo de forma significativa un mayor costo directo. Conclusiones Nuestros resultados demuestran el elevado costo y consumo de recursos sanitarios asociados al TB y reflejan la necesidad de diseñar más y mejores estrategias costo-efectivas en el manejo y prevención de episodios maníacos a fin de evitar ingresos hospitalarios. Un peor estado funcional basal es predictivo de mayores costos, indicando la importancia de realizar una evaluación funcional en el TB de manera sistemática.

    Making sense of DSM-5 mania with depressive features
    (The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists, 2015) Reinares, María; Bonnin, Caterina del Mar; Hidalgo-Mazzei, Diego; Undurraga, Juan; Mur, María; Nieto, Evaristo; Sáez, Cristina; Vieta, Eduard
    OBJECTIVE: The assessment of the depressive component during mania has become critical for the accurate diagnosis of mixed states, which were defined very narrowly in the past classification systems before Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th ed.). The aim of this study was to compare socio-demographic, clinical and therapeutic characteristics, as well as clinical and functional outcomes, between manic patients with and without mixed features to validate the relevance of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th ed.) mixed specifier. METHODS: This is a subanalysis of a multicentre naturalistic study MANía Aguda y COnsumo de Recursos (acute mania and health resource consumption [MANACOR]) on the burden of mania in bipolar patients from four hospitals in Catalonia (Spain). The sample consisted of 169 adult patients presenting a manic episode and systematically assessed during a 6-month period. RESULTS: A total of 27% (n = 46/169) of manic patients showed mixed features. Total number of episodes (p = 0.027), particularly depressive and mixed, was greater in manic patients with mixed features, as well as depressive onset (p = 0.018), suicide ideation (p = 0.036), rapid cycling (p = 0.035) and personality disorders (p = 0.071). In contrast, a higher percentage of pure manic subjects were inpatients (p = 0.035), started the illness with mania (p = 0.018) and showed family history of bipolar disorder (p = 0.037), congruent psychotic symptoms (p = 0.001) and cannabis use (p = 0.006). At baseline, pure manic patients received more risperidone (p = 0.028), while mixed patients received more valproate (p = 0.049) and antidepressants (p = 0.005). No differences were found in syndromic recovery at the end of the study. However, depressive change was higher in the mixed group (p = 0.010), while manic change was higher in the pure manic group (p = 0.029). At the end of follow-up, the group with mixed features showed a significant trend towards higher psychosocial dysfunction. CONCLUSION: A total of 27% of manic patients showed mixed features. Groups differed regarding clinical characteristics, course of illness, psychosocial functioning, prescribed treatment and symptom progress. Depressive symptoms in mania should be routinely assessed and considered to guide treatment.

    Predictors of functional outcome after a manic episode
    (Elsevier B.V, 2015) Bonnin, Caterina del Mar; Reinares, María; Hidalgo-Mazzei, Diego; Undurraga, Juan; Mur, María; Sáez, Cristina; Nieto, Evaristo; Vázquez, Gustavo; Balanzá-Martínez, Vicent; Tabarés-Seisdedos, Rafael; Vieta, Eduard
    The identification of functional outcome predictors after acute episodes of bipolar disorders (BD) may allow designing appropriate treatment aiming at restoring psychosocial functioning. Our objective was to identify the best functional outcome predictors at a 6-month follow-up after an index manic episode. METHODS: We conducted a naturalistic trial (MANACOR) focusing on the global burden of BD, with special emphasis on manic episode-associated costs. We observed patients with BD seen in services of four hospitals in Catalonia (Spain).The total sample included 169 patients with chronic DSM-IV-TR BD I suffering from an acute manic episode who were followed-up for 6 months. In this subanalysis we report the results of a stepwise multiple regression conducted by entering in the model those clinical and sociodemographic variables that were identified through preliminary bivariate Pearson correlations and using total scores on the Functioning Assessment Short Test (FAST) at the 6-month follow-up as the dependent variable. RESULTS: Number of previous depressive episodes (Beta=3.25; t=3.23; p=0.002), presence of psychotic symptoms during the manic index episode (Beta=7.007; t=2.2; p=0.031) and the Body Mass Index (BMI) at baseline (Beta=0.62; t=2.09; p=0.041) were best predictors of functional outcome after a manic episode. LIMITATIONS: The main limitations of this study include the retrospective assessment of the episodes, which can be a source of bias, and the 6-month follow-up might have been too short for assessing the course of a chronic illness. CONCLUSIONS: Psychotic symptoms at index episode, number of past depressive episodes, and BMI predict worse outcome after 6 months follow-up after a manic episode, and may constitute the target of specific treatment strategies.
