Weight and height were measured and lifestyle and demographic factors were self-reported. Logistic regression models (odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals) were undertaken to investigate associations among groups (mental state disorders, co-occurring mental state disorders with PD, and controls) and the WHOQOL-BREF domains (physical, psychological, social, and environmental health) while testing for potential confounding. Results: Results indicated that mental state disorders were associated with increased risk of low quality of life in physical, psychological, social, but not environmental domains, compared to controls. This risk was increased among women with co-occurring PD across all domains compared to both controls and those with mental state disorders. Conclusion: These findings add evidence suggesting poor quality of life is experienced by those with mental state disorders, and that this is worsened by the experience of co-occurring PD.]]> Wed 26 Oct 2022 12:00:30 AEDT ]]> The Added Burden of Personality Disorder on Subsidized Australian Health Service Utilization Among Women With Mental State Disorder https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:53737 Wed 10 Jan 2024 11:31:34 AEDT ]]> Systematic review and meta-analysis of the role of personality disorder in randomised controlled trials of pharmacological interventions for adults with mood disorders https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:39815 I2 statistic. This systematic review was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42018089279) and the protocol is published. Results: The search yielded 11,640 studies. Subsequent to removing duplicates, 9657 studies were screened at title and abstract stage and 1456 were assessed at full-text stage. Eighteen studies met criteria for inclusion in this review. Meta-analysis did not reveal a significant difference between groups for treatment outcome (standardised mean difference 0.22 [-0.09, 0.54]; I2: 69%, p=0.17) and remission (risk ratio 0.84 [0.64, 1.11]; I2: 51%, p=0.22). Limitations: This review was limited by lack of studies on bipolar disorder. Conclusion: PD comorbidity does not appear to affect treatment efficacy of pharmacological interventions for adults with mood disorders.]]> Wed 10 Aug 2022 13:16:51 AEST ]]>
