Currently there is little data on the effect of screening for depression and anxiety on the quality of life and the prognosis of heart failure (HF). We will investigate the association between the recognition of current depression/anxiety by the general practitioner (GP) and the quality of life and the patients' prognosis. Methods/Design: In this multicenter, prospective, observational study 3,950 patients with HF are recruited by general practices in Germany. The patients fill out questionnaires at baseline and 12-month follow-up. At baseline the GPs are interviewed regarding the somatic and psychological comorbidities of their patients. During the follow-up assessment, data on hospitalization and mortality are provided by the general practice. Based on baseline data, the patients are allocated into three observation groups: HF patients with depression and/or anxiety recognized by their GP (P+/+), those with depression and/or anxiety not recognized (P+/-) and patients without depression and/or anxiety (P-/-). We will perform multivariate regression models to investigate the influence of the recognition of depression and/or anxiety on quality of life at 12 month follow-up, as well as its influences on the prognosis (hospital admission, mortality). Discussion: We will display the frequency of GP-acknowledged depression and anxiety and the frequency of installed therapeutic strategies. We will also describe the frequency of depression and anxiety missed by the GP and the resulting treatment gap. Effects of correctly acknowledged and missed depression/anxiety on outcome, also in comparison to the outcome of subjects without depression/anxiety will be addressed. In case results suggest a treatment gap of depression/anxiety in patients with HF, the results of this study will provide methodological advice for the efficient planning of further interventional research.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Heesen2005, author = {Heesen, Tobias}, title = {Pr{\"u}fung der Reliabilit{\"a}t, Validit{\"a}t und {\"A}nderungssensitivit{\"a}t der Kurzform des Funktionsfragebogens Bewegungsapparat (SMFA-D) bei Patienten mit Gonarthrose und Knieendoprothesenimplantation}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-17306}, school = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {2005}, abstract = {Die subjektive Beurteilung von Behandlungsergebnissen durch den Patienten hat in der Knieendoprothetik zunehmend an Bedeutung gewonnen. Patienten sind in der Lage ihren Gesundheitszustand reliabel und valide zu beurteilen. Instrumente zur Selbsteinsch{\"a}tzung werden als krankheitsspezifisches oder den allgemeinen Zustand erfassendes (generisches) Instrument unterschieden. Als klassifikatorisch zwischen beiden Instrumenten liegend, ist der SMFA zu sehen. Er wurde von Orthop{\"a}den in den Vereinigten Staaten entwickelt und ist bei entz{\"u}ndlichen, traumatischen und degenerativen Erkrankungen des Bewegungsapparates einsetzbar. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es die deutsche Version, SMFA-D, auf ihre Testg{\"u}tekriterien bei 67 Patienten mit Gonarthrose und Gelenksendoprothetischen Knieersatz zu {\"u}berpr{\"u}fen. Die Retesreliabilit{\"a}t f{\"u}r den Funktionsindex des SMFA-D lag bei r=0,88 und f{\"u}r den Beeintr{\"a}chtigungsindex r=0,71. Ein Vergleich mit dem Knee-Score, SF-36 und dem WOMAC wurde zum Nachweis der Konstruktvalidit{\"a}t durchgef{\"u}hrt. Hierbei korrelierte der SMFA-D {\"u}ber den gesamten Untersuchungszeitraum mit dem SF36 (p<0,05 bis p<0,001) und zu den ersten beiden Untersuchungszeitr{\"a}umen mit dem WOMAC (p<0,001). Der Knee-Score zeigte postoperativ signifikante Korrelationen (p<0,05 bis p<0.001). Die Kriteriumsvalidit{\"a}t wurde mit dem SMFA-Validit{\"a}tstest prae-OP und post-OP nachgewiesen. Die Arzteinsch{\"a}tzung der Funktionseinbuße (p<0,001), die selbst gew{\"a}hlte Gehgeschwindigkeit (p<0,001), die Schmerzeinsch{\"a}tzung(p<0,01) und der Arthroseschweregradscore (p<0,05) korrelierten signifikant mit dem praeoperativen SMFA-D. Zur {\"U}berpr{\"u}fung der diskriminanten Validit{\"a}t wurden Patienten mit und ohne Voroperation (nicht signifikant), mit und ohne Schmerzmitteleinnahme (p<0,006) sowie die Nutzung von Gehhilfen (p<0,02) unterschieden. Der SMFA-D erf{\"u}llte alle Testg{\"u}tekriterien und erwies sich als praktikables Instrument. Er konnte den Effekt einer Knieendoprothesenimplantation im Verlauf aufzeigen (Funktionsindex: 0,86 nach drei Monaten, 0,89 nach einem Jahr; Beeintr{\"a}chtigungsindex: 0,53 nach drei Monaten, 0,64 nach einem Jahr). Eine gr{\"o}ßere Effektst{\"a}rke zeigte der SMFA-D in den vergleichenden Skalen des SF-36 (0,06 bis 0,79, ohne Subskala f{\"u}r Schmerz: 0,95 bis 1,19), eine gleiche beim WOMAC (0,40 bis 1,07) und Knee-Score (0,50 bis 1,93). Der SMFA-D konnte Patientengruppen mit oder ohne Schmerzmedikation und mit oder ohne Gehhilfen unterscheiden. Die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit deuten darauf hin, das der SMFA-D als geeignetes Instrument in der Lage ist, den Gesundheitszustand und Verlauf von Patienten mit prim{\"a}rer Gonarthrose und endoprothetischen Kniegelenksersatz darzustellen. Als neues Instrument ist der SMFA-D in der Lage ein gr{\"o}ßeres Spektrum an muskuloskeletalen Erkrankungen abzudecken als ein erkrankunkspezifisches. Im Vergleich weist er ein ebenso hohes Ansprechverhalten wie generische Instrumente auf.}, language = {de} } @article{MeuleHermannKuebler2014, author = {Meule, Adrian and Hermann, Tina and K{\"u}bler, Andrea}, title = {A short version of the Food Cravings Questionnaire—Trait: the FCQ-T-reduced}, doi = {10.3389/fpsyg.2014.00190}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-112748}, year = {2014}, abstract = {One of the most often used instruments for the assessment of food cravings is the Food Cravings Questionnaire (FCQ), which consists of a trait (FCQ-T; 39 items) and state (FCQ-S; 15 items) version. Scores on the FCQ-T have been found to be positively associated with eating pathology, body mass index (BMI), low dieting success and increases in state food craving during cognitive tasks involving appealing food stimuli. The current studies evaluated reliability and validity of a reduced version of the FCQ-T consisting of 15 items only (FCQ-T-r). Study 1 was a questionnaire study conducted online among students (N = 323). In study 2, female students (N = 70) performed a working memory task involving food and neutral pictures. Study 1 indicated a one-factorial structure and high internal consistency (α = 0.94) of the FCQ-T-r. Scores of the FCQ-T-r were positively correlated with BMI and negatively correlated with dieting success. In study 2, participants reported higher state food craving after the task compared to before. This increase was positively correlated with the FCQ-T-r. Hours since the last meal positively predicted food craving before the task when controlling for FCQ-T-r scores and the interaction of both variables. Contrarily, FCQ-T-r scores positively predicted food craving after the task when controlling for food deprivation and the interaction term. Thus, trait food craving was specifically associated with state food craving triggered by palatable food-cues, but not with state food craving related to plain hunger. Results indicate high reliability of the FCQ-T-r. Replicating studies that used the long version, small-to-medium correlations with BMI and dieting success could be found. Finally, scores on the FCQ-T-r predicted cue-elicited food craving, providing further support of its validity. The FCQ-T-r constitutes a succinct, valid and reliable self-report measure to efficiently assess experiences of food craving as a trait.}, language = {en} } @article{vandeKerkhofvanderHeijdenSchneideretal.2012, author = {van de Kerkhof, Noortje W.

Perris and Brocicington (P\&B) described the first set of operational criteria that were partly incorporated in ICD-10. The present study investigates psychopathological profiles according to the P\&B criteria and the original descriptions by Leonhard, both against the background of the criteria from the prevailing international classification systems. Methods: Eighty patients with psychotic disorders were recruited and assessed with various psychometric instruments at baseline and after six weeks of antipsychotic treatment in order to investigate the presence of cycloid psychoses according to Leonhard (LCP) and the effect of treatment with antipsychotics. The overlap between LCP and DSM-IV Brief Psychotic Disorder (BPD), ICD Acute Polymorphic Psychotic Disorder (APP) and P\&B criteria was calculated. Results: Using P\&B criteria and a symptom checklist adapted from the original descriptions by Leonhard, 14 and 12 cases of cycloid psychosis were identified respectively reflecting a prevalence of 15-18\%. Small though significant concordance rates were found between LCP and both DSM-BPD and ICD-APP. Concordance between LCP and P\&B criteria was also significant, but modest. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that LCP can be identified in a substantial number of patients with psychotic disorders. Cycloid psychoses are not adequately covered in current classification systems and criteria. Since they are demonstrated to have a specific psychopathological profile, relapsing course and favourable prognosis, it is advocated to include these psychoses in daily differential diagnostic procedures.}, language = {en} }
