“…11 Furthermore, we found that the most common DD type was the persecutory type, followed by the erotomanic type, as has been reported by several authors. 24,25 In agreement with previous studies, no gender differences were found regarding DD type 9,13,14,26 or presence of non-prominent hallucinations.…”

“…In line with these results, men showed significantly more severe psychotic symptoms and worse functionality in comparison with women in a large and representative sample, as part of the DELIREMP study. 13,14 Despite increasing interest on DD, gender differences in psychopathology, clinical course, and treatment response have been poorly studied. [15][16][17] Our goal was to examine gender differences in demographic variables, clinical features, antidepressant and antipsychotic prescription rates, and suicidal ideation and suicidal attempts in a clinical group of patients with DD.…”

Objective: To investigate gender differences in age at onset, psychopathology, and suicidal behavior rates in delusional disorder (DD). Methods: We conducted a prospective longitudinal study of 97 patients with DD. Demographic and clinical data at baseline were recorded. Gender differences were investigated by applying analysis of covariance, using age at onset and age at first psychiatric consultation as dependent variables, comorbid depression and gender as between-subject factors, and employment status, social support, and DD types as covariates. Results: Seventy-six percent of the patients were women. The average age at onset was 48.76612.67 years, mean age at first psychiatric consultation was 54.13613.67 years, and men were more likely to be employed than women (p = 0.041). Despite the earlier age at onset and at first psychiatric consultation in men, these differences tended to disappear when adjusted for potential confounders. There were no significant gender differences in depressive comorbidity, presence of suicidal ideation and behavior, or compliance rates at follow-up. Conclusions: Our findings could not confirm that male and female DD patients differ in age at onset, age at first psychiatric consultation, or suicidal ideation and behavior, even after controlling for potential confounders.

“…Algunos estudios determinan que los hombres se encuentran con mayor frecuencia solteros, mientras que las mujeres se encuentran casadas (9,11) y viudas (2). Respecto a los potenciales factores de riesgo para el TD, hay varios estudios que han hallado que los varones presentan mayores antecedentes de consumo de sustancias y de traumatismos craneoencefálicos (3,(11)(12). En las mujeres parece que tendría mayor relevancia la presencia de factores psicosociales precipitantes y los antecedentes familiares de psicosis (2).…”

“…Se ha objetivado que las mujeres con diagnóstico de TD ingresan por primera vez en psiquiatría a edades más tardías (52.07 y 45 años respectivamente), congruentemente con otros tres estudios publicados (4,11,14). No se detectan diferencias significativas en el estado civil, al igual que en otro estudio publicado recientemente (4), y a diferencia de otros estudios, en los que los varones se encontraban más frecuentemente solteros y las mujeres, viudas o casadas (3,9,11).…”

RESUMEN: El objetivo de nuestro estudio fue explorar las diferencias de género en trastorno delirante (TD) comparando aspectos sociodemográficos, factores de riesgo, correlatos clínicos y características del curso del trastorno. La muestra se compuso de 50 pacientes con primer ingreso psiquiátrico y con diagnóstico de TD (según SCID-I para criterios DSM-IV). Los casos fueron evaluados retrospectivamente mediante la revisión de historia clínicas mediante el cuestionario OPCRIT 4.0 y un inventario diseñado por los autores que comprendió distintos aspectos clínicos no recogidos en el anterior instrumento. La proporción mujer-hombre fue de 1.27:1. La edad del primer ingreso psiquiátrico fue más alta en mujeres. Respecto a los potenciales factores de riesgo, los hombres presentaron mayor prevalencia de Trastornos por uso de sustancias premórbido mientras las mujeres más retraimiento social y síntomas depresivos previos al inicio del trastorno. En relación a la sintomatología delirante, los hombres presentaron mayor frecuencia de delirios generalizados, de grandiosidad, de celos y persecución; mientras que las mujeres presentaron mayor frecuencia de delirio erotomaniaco así como percepciones y humor delirantes. Los hombres presentaron mayor frecuencia de aumento de la estima del Self y las mujeres insomnio inicial y de media noche. No se observaron diferencias de género en otros factores sociodemográficos, potenciales factores de riesgo, correlatos clínicos y características del curso de la enfermedad. PALABRAS CLAVE: Género, diferencias, trastorno delirante, psicosis, psicopatología, factores de riesgo.ABSTRACT: The objective of our study was to explore gender differences in Delusional Disorder (DD) comparing sociodemographic, clinical and risk factors and course´s characteristics. The sample was compound of 50 inpatients during their first psychiatric entrance and diagnosis of DD (according to SCID-I for DSM-IV criteria). Cases were evaluated retrospectively by means of medical records revision, OPCRIT 4.0 and an inventory created by authors, about not gathered aspects. The proportion woman-man was of 1.27:1. The age of the first psychiatric entrance was higher in women. Men presented greater prevalence of Disorders for use of drugs before; while the women suffered more social retirement and previous depressive symptoms. Men presented greater frequency of generalized, megalomaniac, and jealousy and persecution delusions; whereas women displayed greater frequency of erotomaniac delusions, as well as delusional affectivity and perceptions. Men presented greater frequency of increase of the esteem of the Self; and women displayed initial insomnia and of average night more frequently. Differences in other sociodemographic, clinical and risk factors, and course´s characteristics were not observed.
