Pathways of risk from conception to disease: a population-based study of theoffspring of women with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and other psychotic disorders

V Morgan, G Valuri, M Croft, J Griffith, S Shah, P Di Prinzio, S Zubrick, C Bower, T McNeil, D Young, F Morgan, K Abel, A Jablensky

Our aim in this study is to integrate genetic and risk factor epidemiology under a developmental perspective in order to examine reproductive pathology in women with severe mental illness and follow-up proximal and distal developmental and neuropsychiatric sequelae in their children. Children at increased familial risk for severe mental illness are compared with children at no increased familial risk on a wide range of developmental indices and environmental risk factors, including obstetric events, with a view to elucidating the intergenerational transmission of both vulnerability and resilience to adverse neuropsychiatric outcomes. These outcomes include, among others, birth defects, intellectual disability, pervasive developmental disorders, epilepsy, psychiatric illness and psychosis.

This is a whole-of-population record linkage study, using linkage across psychiatric, physical morbidity, mortality and other administrative registers in Western Australia to follow up a large whole-of-population cohort of 467,945 children born between 1980 and 2001 to 246,874 mothers. This includes 15,486 births to 7508 mothers with a psychotic illness.

In the course of this study, we have developed and refined a number of instruments, including the Diagnostic Interview for Psychoses (casenotes version) and the Children’s Checklist, extended the McNeil-Sjöström Scale for Obstetric Complications; and developed measures of neonatal encephalopathy and maternal morbidity over time. We are also developing measures of adversity using our record linked data. Using quantitative and qualitative data, we are constructing developmental life course histories for a subsample of the children in our study.

Currently, we are examining the following outcomes for offspring; mortality, with a particular focus on Sudden Infant Death Syndrome; intellectual disability and rare syndromes; early developmental outcomes; reproductive pathology; education outcomes; adversity as a predictor; risk of victimisation (based on child protection data); and risk of offending.

The Australian National Survey of High Impact Psychosis (SHIP)

V Morgan, A Jablensky, A Waterreus, J Griffith, Patsy Di Prinzio, Sonal Shah

The aims of this survey are (i) to describe the prevalence and profile of psychosis in Australia and (ii) to identify factors associated with good outcome in psychosis that are amenable to change and critical to recovery with the intention of informing policy development and service planning. The survey is an initiative of psychosis researchers and clinicians across Australia in partnership with the Australia Government Department of Health and Ageing. It is a follow-up to the


first Australian National Survey of Low Prevalence (Psychotic) Disorders, conducted 1997-98 by Prof Assen Jablensky. It is collecting national data that will provide an evidence base for understanding barriers to good outcomes for people with psychosis, including their social and economic integration. SHIP asks questions about: symptoms, utilisation of mental health and other services; perceived need; education; cognition; social participation (work and skill development; activities of daily living; family responsibilities; other social engagement and community integration); living circumstances; support networks; physical well-being (including a physical health assessment; physical activity; nutrition; risk factors for metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease; smoking); and drug and alcohol use. SHIP is taking place at seven sites in five states across Australia: NSW, QLD, SA, VIC and WA. It uses a two-phase sampling design. Phase 1 screening for psychosis took place in the census month which was March 2010. In Phase 2, 2000 individuals aged 18-64 were randomly selected for participation, from those screen-positive for psychosis, to be interviewed and assessed. The interview phase was completed at the end of 2010. Analysis of the data is underway with a final report due by the end of 2011.

North Metro Survey of High Impact Psychosis (North Metro SHIP)

V Morgan, A Waterreus, J Griffith, A Jablensky, Patsy Di Prinzio, Sonal Shah

This replication of the national SHIP survey, in North Metropolitan Area Health Services Mental Health, has been funded by the Mental Health Commission and the Western Australian Department of Health. The survey census month will be March 2012 with interviews taking place from April to December 2012. The aims are to: estimate the local prevalence of psychosis in North Metropolitan Area Health

Service; describe the social and economic circumstances of people living with

psychosis within North Metro, as well as their mental and physical health profiles and their use of services;

develop a local evidence base to help inform mental health policy development and service providers in North Metro,

develop services to meet specific local needs to benefit people living with psychosis, their friends, family, carers and services supporting them.

Schizophrenia and criminal offending

V Morgan, F Morgan, G Valuri, A Ferrante, D Castle, A Jablensky

The overarching objective of the current study is to use a methodologically sound, population-based research design to provide reliable data on the association between offending and serious mental illness, and to explore the possible mechanisms for any association found. The specific aims of the study are: to obtain estimates of the prevalence and incidence of offending in individuals

with a diagnosis of schizophrenia compared to the population base rate, and the rate associated with psychiatric disorders other than schizophrenia; and

to describe the profile of offending in individuals with schizophrenia and to see whether it differed from offending by individuals with psychiatric diagnoses other than schizophrenia, and individuals with criminal histories who did not have a psychiatric diagnosis.

The Australian perinatal mental health reforms: using population data to evaluate their impact on service utilisation and related cost-effectiveness

M-P Austin, E Sullivan, N Highet, V Morgan, C Mihalopoulos, M Croft, in partnership with beyondblue.


Mental health problems associated with the perinatal period – defined as from conception to the end of the first postnatal year – are recognised as a major public health issue with significant morbidity and costs for mother, infant, and family. Left untreated they may impact on the health of the next generation. The last decade has seen a burgeoning of perinatal mental health initiatives in Australia, including the National Perinatal Depression Initiative (NPDI), yet there is currently a gap in our understanding of how these initiatives have met their goal of improving maternal mental health outcomes through improved uptake of services, at this critical time. This unique project will use population health data to examine the impact of the reforms on maternal health outcomes, service utilisation and the likely cost-effectiveness of these reforms.

The project will use four key methodologies to achieve its objectives: i) data linkage; ii) generation of perinatal-specific Medicare Benefits Schedule summary data; iii) economic and policy analyses; and, iv) key stakeholder consultations in a consideration of the further implementation and evaluation of the Depression Initiative NPDI.

The findings from this project will facilitate improvements in the recognition, prevention, and treatment of mental health morbidity among perinatal women. It will provide information for the provision of effective mental health services to this vulnerable – and eminently accessible – population. This project will empower beyondblue, as our Partner Organisation, to use the findings to strengthen collaborations, advocate for a cohesive approach to the future implementation of the NPDI, and influence policy and decision making at jurisdictional and national levels. From an international perspective, this project will put Australia at the forefront of policy planning, analysis and cost-effectiveness evaluation in the field of perinatal mental health.

Long-term treatment outcomes in early psychosis specialist services

G Smith, T Williams, V Morgan, D Young

The aim of this study is to evaluate the long-term effects of treatment in a specialist early intervention in psychosis (EIP) service—specifically, whether people in an EIP service have better short- and long-term outcomes when compared with people in standard treatment services. The study will obtain up to 10 years of data on people in the Bentley and Rockingham/ Kwinana specialist EIP services and a matched comparison control group that has received standard treatment in generic mental health services in metropolitan Perth. The study uses a retrospective design, with the key outcome measures including psychiatric admissions, time to re-admission, service use and death.

Patterns of service use for people who have had a psychiatric inpatient admission

G Smith, T Williams, V Morgan, A Jablensky, D Young

This project has constructing a database for exploring inpatient demand within the mental health system. Its aim is to determine groups/subgroups of persons who use inpatient services based on their socio-demographic and clinical characteristics and identify trends and changes in patterns of care over time. A key objective is to use the data to identify existing and potential strategies for reducing demand on inpatient services.


METHODOLOGIES and APPROACHES

Record linkage across population-based registers

The Neuropsychiatric Epidemiology Research Unit has extensive experience in the use of multigenerational cross-linked data from the Western Australian psychiatric case register, State health (e.g. morbidity, birth defects, midwives, mortality) and other registers (e.g. criminal; intellectual disability) to study prevalence, incidence, aetiology and risk factors. To the end, it has established an e-Cohort of high risk children born to mothers with schizophrenia and other psychoses. Unit researchers are expert at designing and developing sophisticated hierarchical data models for linking, interrogating and analysing data across registers and through generations. Operationalising and validating key constructs using register data (e.g. diagnosis; neonatal encephalopathy; socioeconomic status; adversity) is a priority.

Multigenerational approach

In work utilising the e-Cohort of high risk children of mothers with psychosis, the focus has been on the role of genetic and environment risk factors, and their interaction, in the onset of schizophrenia and other psychoses. Sibships among offspring have been constructed and determination of the family relationship (for example, full sibling or half sibling) is possible. Some children have become parents themselves, so we are now collecting data for three generations. A sophisticated hierarchical data model has been implemented to reflect the multiple relationships in the data

Clinical casenotes review

Register data are supplemented by psychiatric data extracted from clinical casenotes by experienced mental health nursing professionals. Several instruments have been developed for this purpose including an adaptation of the Diagnostic Interview for Psychosis for use with children’s casenote data, and the Children’s Checklist that was developed internally specifically for the collection of data for children on substance misuse, psychotropic medication use, behavioural problems, neurocognitive data and psychopathology not recorded in the Diagnostic Interview for Psychosis.

Survey-based research

The Neuropsychiatric Epidemiology Research Unit is experienced in the design, instrument development and coordination of large national multisite surveys including, in 1997-98, the first national survey of psychosis, the Low Prevalence (Psychotic) Disorders Study, in 2010, the second national Survey of High Impact Psychosis (SHIP) and, in 2012, the North Metro Survey of High Impact Psychosis (North Metro SHIP).


INSTRUMENT DEVELOPMENT

Diagnostic Interview for Psychosis (full versions: LPDS and SHIP)

The Diagnostic Interview for Psychoses (DIP) is a semi-structured interview for psychoses for use in epidemiological and clinical settings. It is designed to provide a diagnosis, as well as to assess symptom profiles (present state, past year and lifetime), social functioning, disablement, service utilisation and need. The DIP was developed specifically for the Low Prevalence (Psychotic) Disorders Study (LPDS) 1997-98 and greatly expanded for the Survey of High Impact Psychosis (SHIP) 2010. A Diagnostic Module, described separately below, is central to the DIP. The revised (SHIP) version are includes modules on: sociodemographics; education; employment; housing; finances; activities of daily living; child care; caring; socialising; self harm; victimisation and offending; satisfaction with life; inpatient treatment; emergency/casualty treatment; outpatient treatment; public community mental health; community rehabilitation and day therapy; general practice service; non government agencies; medication use; mental health care & unmet need; other psychopathology and cognition; drug and alcohol use and smoking, and physical health.

Diagnostic Interview for Psychosis – Diagnostic module (DIPweb-DM 1.0)

The Diagnostic Module of the Diagnostic Interview for Psychoses (DIP-DM) is a semi-structured interview consisting of the 97 items of the Operational Criteria For Psychosis (OPCRIT). The DIP_DM uses probes and differential definitions derived and adapted from the WHO Schedules for Clinical Assessment in Neuropsychiatry (SCAN). A computer algorithm has been written to generates diagnoses using the underlying Operational Criteria For Psychosis (OPCRIT) algorithm. The development, reliability and applications of the DIP have been published. The DIP-DM is being used in New Zealand, UK, US and, in translation, in Indonesian, Italy, Spain, France, Greece, Norway and Bulgaria.

Psychosis Screen

The Psychosis Screen was developed specifically for the Low Prevalence (Psychotic) Disorders Study 1997-98 and further modified for the Survey of High Impact Psychosis 2010. It is a brief instrument (one page) covering 8 items and takes 1-2 minutes to complete. There are patient and keyworker versions.

Brief Cognitive Assessment Tool

As part of the Survey of High Impact Psychosis 2010, a need was identified for a Brief Cognitive Assessment Tool that could be used in a number of research settings. In 2009, the assessment tool was completed and psychometric properties were examined.

McNeil-Sjöström Scale for Obstetric Complications

The McNeil-Sjöström Scale operationalises the scoring of hundreds of obstetric complications and their treatment, including the range of potential complications from common to rare. The scale is underpinned by both biological and aetiological considerations and is designed to take a better account of the amount, timing and severity of obstetric complications. It produces separate summated scores


indicating the number of complications of a particular severity level for each of three time periods (pregnancy, labour and delivery, and the neonatal period) as well as producing an overall score. A computer algorithm automates the scoring of obstetric complications recorded on the electronic Midwives Database.

Measures of longitudinal maternal morbidity

Algorithms have been written using all longitudinal maternal health data available on the Midwives Database to produce a full estimate of maternal morbidity at the time of childbirth.

Children’s Checklist

Children’s Checklist is an instrument developed within the Unit specifically for the collection of children’s data on substance misuse, psychotropic medication use, behavioural problems, neurocognitive data and psychopathology not recorded in the Diagnostic Interview for Psychosis.

Instrument validity and reliability

Testing the psychomteric properties of instruments used and/or developed including their validity and inter-rater reliability where appropriate, and assessing the reliability and validity of key constructs is an ongoing priority for the Unit.

Dr Shah is assistant professor with the UWA School of Psychiatry & Clinical Neurosciences. Her main interest and research focus is in the identification of adverse risk factors associated with schizophrenia. Within the Pathways project, her aim is to investigate outcomes for offspring of mothers with schizophrenia using both register data and clinical casenotes. She has developed an effective method for the manual mapping of affected children's life histories using register and clinical casenotes data. She has also started to play a key role in the management and analysis of data for the Survey of High Impact Psychosis (SHIP). Prior to her work in NERU, Sonal was involved in a large study (as part of her PhD project) investigating hormonal and non hormonal factors associated with cognitive function. An important and novel finding of this project was the association between circulating androgen levels and cognitive function. She was awarded the AMS award for the most meritorious contribution to the field of menopause in 2006 and best overall presentation and work in 2001.
