HealthDay (8/18, Gotkine) reports a study found a “weak correlation between change in cognitive impairment and change in work productivity loss in adults with bipolar disorder.” For the study, 179 adults with bipolar disorder “responded to all the study questionnaires and were included in this 48-week analysis. The researchers identified a weak correlation between change in cognitive impairment and change in work productivity loss (presenteeism) from baseline to week 48, but no association was seen on the multiple regression analysis.” Furthermore, they noted a “significant association seen between change in work productivity loss and change in depressive symptoms. A significant association was seen between change in QOL with change in insomnia.” The study was published in Neuropsychopharmacology Reports.
