“…In Germany the total annual cost was calculated to be 5.8 million euros, with 98% being due to productivity loss (Runge and Grunze, 2004). Similar estimations come from other areas of the world, with the calculations basing on different prevalence rates and health systems and societal structures (Hakkaart-van Roijen et al, 2004; Fisher et al, 2007; Ekman et al, 2013). …”

Background:This paper includes a short description of the important clinical aspects of Bipolar Disorder with emphasis on issues that are important for the therapeutic considerations, including mixed and psychotic features, predominant polarity, and rapid cycling as well as comorbidity.Methods:The workgroup performed a review and critical analysis of the literature concerning grading methods and methods for the development of guidelines.Results:The workgroup arrived at a consensus to base the development of the guideline on randomized controlled trials and related meta-analyses alone in order to follow a strict evidence-based approach. A critical analysis of the existing methods for the grading of treatment options was followed by the development of a new grading method to arrive at efficacy and recommendation levels after the analysis of 32 distinct scenarios of available data for a given treatment option.Conclusion:The current paper reports details on the design, method, and process for the development of CINP guidelines for the treatment of Bipolar Disorder. The rationale and the method with which all data and opinions are combined in order to produce an evidence-based operationalized but also user-friendly guideline and a specific algorithm are described in detail in this paper.

“…A recent study from Sweden reports that incidence and prevalence of BD has increased during the last 20 years [5]. BD entails a significant burden for those that are affected as well as high societal costs related to health care, sick leave and early retirement [6]. The Swedish study has found that in persons with BD, despite similar education levels, employment levels are lower and disposable income is less compared to the general population.…”

BackgroundBipolar Disorder (BD) is a mental disorder usually diagnosed between 18 and 30 years of age; this coincides with the period when many women experience pregnancy and childbirth. As specific problems have been reported in pregnancy and childbirth when the mother has BD, a systematic review was carried out to summarise the outcomes of pregnancy and childbirth, in mother and child, when the mother has BD diagnosed before pregnancy.MethodsAn a priori protocol was designed and a systematic search conducted in PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, PsycINFO and Cochrane databases in March 2015. Studies of all designs were included if they involved women with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder prior to pregnancy, who were pregnant and/or followed up to one year postpartum. All stages of inclusion, quality assessment and data extraction were done by two people. All maternal or infant outcomes were examined, and narrative synthesis was used for most outcomes. Meta-analysis was used to achieve a combined prevalence for some outcomes and, where possible, case and control groups were combined and compared.ResultsThe search identified 2809 papers. After screening and quality assessement (using the EPHPP and AMSTAR tools), nine papers were included. Adverse pregnancy outcomes such as gestational hypertension and antepartum haemorrhage occur more frequently in women with BD. They also have increased rates of induction of labour and caesarean section, and have an increased risk of mood disorders in the postnatal period. Women with BD are more likely to have babies that are severely small for gestational age (<2nd-3rd percentile), and it appears that those women not being treated with mood stabilisers in pregnancy might not have an increased risk of having a baby with congenital abnormalities.DiscussionDue to heterogeneity of data, particularly the use of differing definitions of bipolar disorder, narrative synthesis was used for most outcomes, rather than a meta-analysis.ConclusionsIt is evident that adverse outcomes are more common in women with BD and their babies. Large cohort studies examining fetal abnormality outcomes for women with BD who are not on mood stabilisers in pregnancy are required, as are studies on maternal-infant interaction.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12884-016-1127-1) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
