A meta-analysis comparing cognitive function across the mood/psychosis diagnostic spectrum

Abstract: Background The nature and degree of cognitive impairments in schizoaffective disorder is not well established. The aim of this meta-analysis was to characterise cognitive functioning in schizoaffective disorder and compare it with cognition in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Schizoaffective disorder was considered both as a single category and as its two diagnostic subtypes, bipolar and depressive disorder. Methods Following a thorough literature search (468 records identified), we i… Show more

“…Another remarkable finding of our study was the lack of significant differences among some basic cognitive domains, such as attention, and regarding higher-order cognitive functions, such as executive functions and social cognition. However, the results on attention are in agreement with the lack of differences reported in two meta-analyses examining cognitive function across psychotic disorders [11,12].…”

“…Comparisons among the psychosis subtypes have been mostly based upon several versions of the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) classification [10]. Small to moderate effect sizes of significant differences on neuropsychological examinations have been consistently reported among schizophrenia, schizoaffective and bipolar disorders, with schizoaffective patients showing less cognitive impairment than those with schizophrenia but greater cognitive impairment than bipolar patients [11,12]. These differences seem to be more dependent on premorbid cognitive abilities or cognitive reserve [13,14] and patterns of neurodevelopment processes [15].…”
