Review of risk prediction approaches for bipolar episodes in the perinatal period - 08/07/17
Résumé |
Introduction |
The perinatal period is a high-risk period for the development of illness episodes in women with bipolar disorder. Relapse rates vary between 9 and 75% depending on the study. The overall risk of a severe episode is approximately 20%. The impact on women, the relationships with their babies and their families can be devastating. In the UK costs to society are £8.1 billion per year-cohort of births. The advice currently given to women is based of general risk rates. Women's needs of information for decision-making in the perinatal period are not being met.
Objectives |
To review the risk prediction approaches used for women with bipolar disorder in the perinatal period.
Aims |
To understand the existing risk prediction models and approaches used for prognosis of the risk of recurrence of bipolar disorder for women in the perinatal period.
Methods |
Systematic literature search of public medical electronic databases and grey literature on risk prediction for bipolar episodes in the perinatal period.
Results |
We will present the existing models and approaches used for risk prediction of illness episodes in the perinatal period.
Conclusions |
Awareness of existing risk prediction models for recurrence of bipolar disorder in the perinatal period will allow better informed risk-benefit analysis of treatment and management options.
This person-centred approach will help women and clinicians in their decision-making at this crucial high-risk period.
