Comorbidities and Complications in Parkinson’s Disease in Primary Care
Many comorbidities are increased in PD. However, they are not associated with greater mortality than in controls, and are not sufficient to explain the increased mortality in PD.

Persistent health inequalities over 20 years among adults with intellectual disabilities who display behaviours that challenge: evidence from English primary care records www.cambridge.org/core/journal... @proflikahass.bsky.social @ucl-primarycare.bsky.social @uclpsychiatry.bsky.social
Persistent health inequalities over 20 years among adults with intellectual disabilities who display behaviours that challenge: evidence
from English primary care records
Memta Jagtiani, Aws Sadik, Louise Marston, Shoumitro Deb, Dheeraj Rai, Bhathika Perera, Rohit Shankar, Juliette A. O’Connell and Angela Hassiotis

Background
Adults with intellectual disabilities who display behaviours
that challenge (BtC) are more prone to poor health.
Aims
This study seeks to evidence the long-term health outcomes
for those who display BtC.
Method
We conducted a longitudinal cohort study of adults with intellectual
disabilities aged ≥18 years in England, using data fromthe
Clinical Practice Research Datalink Aurum (January 2003 to
December 2023) linked to Hospital Episode Statistics and Office
for National Statistics. Main outcome measures were annual
health checks, general practitioner referrals, emergency visits,
out-patient attendance, in-patient admissions and mortality.
Results
Among 83 166 adults with intellectual disabilities (mean age
38.6 years), 18.5% had a record of BtC, with similar sociodemographic
distributions to those without BtC, but higher rates
of physical and mental health comorbidities and uptake of
annual health checks. A total of 72.5% of participants with BtC
were receiving psychotropic medication(s). Adults with BtC
had higher rates of mental health out-patient attendance
(odds ratio: 1.42, 95% CI 1.33–1.52) and in-patient admissions
(incidence rate ratio (IRR): 1.19, 95% CI 1.09–1.29), but consistently
lower rates of physical health out-patient attendance (IRR = 0.81, 95% CI 0.78–0.84) and in-patient admissions
(IRR = 0.77, 95% CI 0.74–0.79), after adjusting for demographic
and clinical characteristics. BtC were not associated with
mortality after adjustment for comorbidities (hazard ratio: 0.97,
95% CI 0.93–1.00).
Conclusions
This longitudinal study not only corroborated the markedly
elevated burden of physical and mental health comorbidities
among indi…

Prevalence of mental disorders in people with intellectual disabilities across the lifespan: umbrella review in BJPych Open www.cambridge.org/core/journal... @proflikahass.bsky.social @ucl-primarycare.bsky.social @uclpsychiatry.bsky.social
Prevalence of mental disorders in people with intellectual disabilities across the lifespan: umbrella review
J Santambrogio, G Boido, M Marchetti, S Rudra, F Besana, E Francia,
S Terrevazzi, D Papola, C Barbui, M Bertelli, M Clerici, A D’Agostino,
L Marston, A Hassiotis

Background
People with intellectual disabilities experience higher rates of
mental disorders, contributing to restrictive practices and
premature mortality. Prevalence data are essential to understanding
the patterns of disease, and for the development of
tailored interventions.
Aims
To systematically examine the burden and pattern of mental
disorders in people with intellectual disabilities across the
lifespan.
Method
We searched six databases (inception to 17 October 2024), and
conducted a manual search up to 15 December 2024, for
systematic reviews on the prevalence of mental disorders in
people with intellectual disabilities with or without neurodevelopmental
conditions. We conducted a narrative synthesis
of prevalence rates, including those stratified by intellectual
disability level, sex, age and autism, where available, and
compared these with published prevalence rates in people
without intellectual disabilities (International Prospective
Register of Systematic Reviews, no. CRD42024610611).
Results
We included 26 systematic reviews: 7 meta-analyses and 19
narrative reviews. Compared with the general population, the
prevalence of schizophrenia (3.55–4.80%), anxiety (5.4–5.5%) and
obsessive–compulsive disorders (2.4%) appeared higher,
whereas that of mood (6–7%), personality and post-traumatic
stress disorders appeared lower. Study quality was moderate to critically low. For syndromic intellectual disabilities we noted
high anxiety rates in fragile-X, Williams and 22q11.2 deletion
syndromes, and in those with co-occurring autism. We found
gaps on dementia, bipolar, substance use and eating disorders,
and limited data stratified by intellectual disability level, sex
and age.
Conclusions
This um…

Validated self-administered screening tools to identify depression among young adults (18 to 25-years-old) in East Asia and the Pacific Region low-and-middle income countries (LMICs): A systematic review by my PhD student Dennis Dantic. https//www.science... @ucl-primarycare.bsky.social
tools for symptoms of depression among young adults (18 to 25 years old) in East Asia and the Pacific. A total of
22 studies with 24,069 participants were included, covering both clinical and non-clinical populations. Nine selfadministered
screening tools were identified, with Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Patient Health
Questionnaire-2 PHQ-2, and Centre for Epidemiological Studies Depression (CES-D) being the most frequently
studied. PHQ-9 demonstrated moderate to excellent internal consistency reliability, with Cronbach’s alpha
ranging from 0.67 to 0.92, and a pooled AUC of 0.86, indicating strong screening accuracy. PHQ-2, showed an
Area Under the Curve (AUC) of 0.85, high sensitivity (0.96), and moderate specificity (0.80). CES-D exhibited an
AUC of 0.87, good sensitivity (0.81), and specificity (0.78), with high heterogeneity (I² = 74.70 %–86.69 %). The
meta-analysis revealed substantial variability in sensitivity and specificity across settings, with differences in
study methodologies, cutoff scores, and reference standards contributing to high heterogeneity. Additionally,
95.5 % of studies had a moderate risk of bias in patient selection, affecting generalizability. Despite these limitations,
PHQ-9, PHQ-2, and CES-D remain valuable tools for identifying symptoms of depression among young
adults. The accessibility, ease of administration, and strong psychometric properties of these tests support their
continued use in resource-limited settings, though standardization of methodologies and expanded regional
validation are needed to improve screening accuracy and applicability.
