Dystrobrevin-binding protein 1 (DTNBP1) is one of the most promising candidate genes in schizophrenia. An association of DTNBP1 with cognitive dysfunction, particularly memory impairment, has been reported in a number of studies. However, the results remain inconsistent. The aim of this study was to measure the association between DTNBP1 polymorphisms and cognitive domains in a well-characterized sample. Methods: Ninety-one clinically stable schizophrenia outpatients underwent a battery of cognitive tests. Six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of DTNBP1 were genotyped in all participants. Statistical and multivariate analyses were performed. Results: Factor analysis revealed 4 factors corresponding to distinct cognitive domains, namely sustained attention, set-shifting, executive functioning, and memory. We found a significant association of the rs909706 polymorphism with attention (p = 0.030) and a nonsignificant trend for set-shifting (p = 0.060). The other SNPs and haplotypes were not associated with cognitive function. Discussion: Replication of this finding in a larger sample is needed in order to confirm the importance of this particular polymorphism in the genetics of schizophrenia, particularly the distinct cognitive domains. In conclusion, the present study supports the involvement of DTNBP1 in the regulation of cognitive processes and demonstrates association in particular with sustained attention and set-shifting in schizophrenia patients.

The risk of depression is significantly increased for patients with osteoporosis compared with patients without osteoporosis in primary care practices within Germany. Introduction The objectives of the present study were to analyze the incidence of depression in German female patients with osteoporosis and to evaluate the risk factors for depression diagnosis within this patient population. Methods This study was a retrospective database analysis conducted in Germany utilizing the Disease Analyzer (R) Database (IMS Health, Germany). The study population included 70,966 patients between 40 and 80 years of age from 1072 primary care practices. The observation period was between 2004 and 2013. Follow-up duration was 5 years and was completed in April 2015. A total of 35,483 osteoporosis patients were selected after applying exclusion criteria, and 35,483 controls were chosen and then matched (1:1) to osteoporosis patients based on age, sex, health insurance coverage, depression diagnosis in the past, and follow-up duration after index date. The analyses of depression-free survival were carried out using Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank tests. Cox proportional hazards models (dependent variable: depression) were used to adjust for confounders. Results Depression diagnoses were presented in 33.0\% of the osteoporosis group and 22.7\% of the control group after the 5-year follow-up (p < 0.001). Dementia, cancer, heart failure, coronary heart disease, and diabetes were associated with a higher risk of developing depression (p < 0.001). Private health insurance was associated with a lower risk of depression. There was no significant effect of fractures on depression risk.

METHODS Longitudinal data from nationwide general practices in Germany (n = 1072) were analyzed. Individuals initially diagnosed with CHD (2009-2013) were identified, and 59992 patients were included and matched (1: 1) to 59992 controls. The primary outcome measure was an initial diagnosis of depression within five years after the index date among patients with and without CHD. Cox proportional hazards models were used to adjust for confounders. RESULTS Mean age was equal to 68.0 years (SD = 11.3). A total of 55.9\% of patients were men. After a five-year follow-up, 21.8\% of the CHD group and 14.2\% of the control group were diagnosed with depression (P < 0.001). In the multivariate regression model, CHD was a strong risk factor for developing depression (HR = 1.54, 95\% CI: 1.49-1.59, P < 0.001). Prior depressive episodes, dementia, and eight other chronic conditions were associated with a higher risk of developing depression. Interestingly, older patients and women were also more likely to be diagnosed with depression compared with younger patients and men, respectively. CONCLUSION The risk of depression is significantly increased among patients with CHD compared with patients without CHD treated in primary care practices in Germany. CHD patients should be routinely screened for depression to ensure improved treatment and management.}, language = {en} } @article{KonradBohlkenRappetal.2016, author = {Konrad, Marcel and Bohlken, Jens and Rapp, Michael Armin and Kostev, Karel}, title = {Depression risk in patients with heart failure in primary care practices in Germany}, series = {International psychogeriatrics}, volume = {28}, journal = {International psychogeriatrics}, publisher = {Cambridge Univ.
