Predictors of time to relapse/recurrence after electroconvulsive therapy in @entity1 with XXXX : a population-based cohort study.

@entity1 @entity308 @entity1245 @entity1091 @entity734
Objective. The aim of the study is to define predictors of relapse/recurrence after electroconvulsive therapy, ECT, for @entity1 with @entity308 . Methods. A study of all @entity1 (n = 486) treated by means of ECT for @entity308 was performed. The data were derived from a regional quality register in Sweden. Psychiatric hospitalisation or suicide was used as a marker for relapse/recurrence. Results. The relapse/recurrence rate within one year after ECT was 34%. Factors associated with increased risk of relapse/recurrence included comorbid @entity734 and treatment with @entity1245 or antipsychotics during the follow-up period. Conclusions. Within the first years after ECT, relapses/recurrences leading to hospitalisation or suicide are common. Treatment with @entity1091 might be beneficial, while @entity1245 , antipsychotics, or continuation ECT does not seem to significantly reduce the risk of relapse/recurrence.
