Résumé : | This study aims to identify the prevalence of Ultra High Risk (UHR) adults in a sample of patients in Lebanon and to compare screening and diagnostic tools. Methods : This is a cross-sectional pilot study which targeted patients aged 17–30 years willingly seeking psychiatric care in a university hospital in Beirut, Lebanon. Participants were invited to fill either the English or the French version of the Prodromal Questionnaire (respectively, PQ16 or fPQ16). The abbreviated version of the 'Comprehensive Assessment of At-Risk Mental States' (CAARMS) was then administered to all participants. The latter were subsequently sorted into one of the three UHR groups – vulnerability group, attenuated psychosis (APS), intermittent psychosis (BLIPS) – or were diagnosed as suffering from a psychotic disorder. Results : Thirty-one patients participated in this study. The prevalence of positive screening on the PQ16/fPQ16 and positive diagnosis of UHR on the CAARMS were respectively of 61.29% and 45%. The APS group was the most prevalent (71.42%). A positive psychosis screening on PQ16/fPQ16 was statistically related to a UHR diagnosis on CAARMS (p-value: 0.011 on Chi2 test), OR = 8.5 (95% CI: 1.4–50.9; p-value: 0.018). No relation was found between PQ16/fPQ16 results and risk stratification or between the number of 'True' responses on PQ16/fPQ16 and the intensity of symptoms on CAARMS. PQ16/fPQ16 statements 5, 9, 11 and 16 predicted a UHR diagnosis on CAARMS (p-value of 0.045, 0.006, 0.045 and 0.045, respectively). Conclusion : This two-stage strategy for identifying UHR patients can be adopted in a tertiary health care center. [Résumé d'auteur] |
