Journal Title: Online Journal of Neurology and Brain Disorders - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Background and Objectives: At the moment, studies of organic mental disorders (OMD) in in-patients of therapeutic units in Udmurtia are limited. The paper’s objective was to study the prevalence and risk factors of OMD in medical patients in one of the municipal hospitals of Izhevsk. Methods: The subjects (323 patients aged from 18 to 59 years) were selected using the method of continuous sampling. All subjects were asked to answer the questions from the Russian version of the Brief International Neuropsychiatric Questionnaire (MINI 5.0.0.). Results: The prevalence of OMD was 55.1%. OMD were more common in older patients (50-59 years) and in patients with chronic somatic diseases. 36.5% of patients with OMD were diagnosed with pre-dementia. The comorbidity of OMD with other mental disorders was statistically significant for depression and anxiety disorders. Conclusion: Knowledge of OMD risk factors can contribute to early detection and adequate treatment of OMD in patients of general hospitals.
