简要总结
Schizophrenia is a serious psychiatric illness affecting approximately 25 million people worldwide. Patients with schizophrenia experience hallucinations, auditory illusions, disordered thinking, movement disorders, cognitive impairment and social isolation. Treatments with antipsychotics have proven effective in improving their living conditions, but poor compliance results in relapses and rehospitalizations for the majority of patients, which often results in a worsening of residual symptoms. The prevention of these relapses is a major issue in the care of these patients and frequent monitoring is necessary. The use of a simple, rapid and inexpensive tool to monitor symptoms and treatment effect in schizophrenia could improve the effectiveness of the treatment of these patients and prevent relapses. Speech is a good candidate as a biomarker in the monitoring of patients with schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is accompanied by speech disorders including poor speech, variations in tone or intensity or even difficulties in organizing speech.
详细描述
Schizophrenia is a highly complex disease of unknown origin. It is characterized by a heterogeneous etiology and variable clinical manifestations. Numerous studies have investigated genetic, biochemical or neurodevelopmental factors of the pathology, without providing a definitive answer. The environmental factor is also analyzed, especially urban density and pollution. Finally, the immune pathway, in particular neuroinflammation, has been studied. Certain parasites, such as Toxoplasma, may be involved in the development of schizophrenia in combination with genetic factors. All these studies tend to show that the parasite/gene/environment association would influence the development of schizophrenia, but the origins remain unclear and a more complete knowledge of the pathophysiology is needed to improve diagnosis and patient management through new therapeutic targets.
More than 80% of patients with schizophrenia have language abnormalities. These abnormalities are manifested in syntax, semantics and phonology. The most common include monotonous intonation, poverty of speech, increased pauses, lack of spontaneity, and disruption of speech coherence. As speech is an important factor in social interaction, patients have great difficulty in maintaining their social relationships.
A major problem in schizophrenia is the discontinuation or misuse of antipsychotic treatment, which leads to relapse and additional hospital costs. According to a 2013 study, 50% of patients discontinue treatment after six months, often leading to decompensations.To avoid relapses, clinicans can either administer hetero-questionnaire to monitor the patients' symptoms or monitor treatment adherence.
To monitor symptoms, clinicians have at their disposal various standardized questionnaires such as the PAANS. However, those tests are time-intensive.
To monitor treatment adherence, clinicians can use blood drug concentrations as an evidence of compliance, although this method is invasive, and requires costly administration coordination between healthcare profesionnals and patients. There are also several standardized tests to monitor adherence, such as the clinician-administered BARS questionnaire and the self-administered BEMIB. These measures have often been criticized due to factors such as recall bias and poor self-perception, which limit the accuracy of patient reports and overestimate adherence.
