Populat

Interest
for the
Study
People with DSM-IV
diagnosed primary bipolar
disorder, having onset in
the last 5 years, measured
using Structural Clinical
Interview, aged between
18-65 years, and having
adequate proficiency in
spoken and written
English
A nationally
representative cohort that
was selected using
primary care electronic
health records that ranged
from 2000 to 2014, and
comprised of comparing
all patients, aged more
than 16 years, who had
been diagnosed with
bipolar disorder or
schizophrenia. Those
patients who had been
diagnosed with unipolar
depression and
schizoaffective disorders
had been excluded from
the cohort
Case patients were
generally defined as
being affected with RA
with the presence of at
least 1 recognized RA
diagnosis in medical
records. The diagnosis
comprised of both
seronegative and
seropositive RA patients.
In contrast, the control
group comprised of
randomly selected
patients from the list that
contained CHS enrollees,
exclusive of patients with
RA. Five control patients
had been nominated
against each case patient,
followed by frequency-
matched to the cases, in
relation to age and
gender. Data obtainable
from the CHS database
encompassed gender, age,
smoking status,
socioeconomic status
(SES), and chronic
disease diagnoses.
Sample 67 patients recruited from
out-patient clinics, health
teams, primary care teams,
general practice surgeries,
and voluntary services
were randomized to two
different groups
(treatment as usual and
therapy)
An estimated 17314
individuals with a
diagnosis of bipolar
disorder, in addition to
22497 individuals who
had been diagnosed with
schizophrenia, containing
active records from the
beginning of 2000 till the
end of 2014 were selected.
The case-control study
comprised of 11,782
patients who had been
diagnosed with RA, in
addition to 57,973
subjects, besides the
matched controls by their
gender and age.
