bookPart Instrumentos de avaliação de uso na infância e adolescência(2016) GRAEFF-MARTINS, Ana Soledade; FLEITLICH-BILYK, Bacy- An integrative approach to investigate the respective roles of single-nucleotide variants and copy-number variants in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder(2016) LIMA, Leandro de Araujo; FEIO-DOS-SANTOS, Ana Cecilia; BELANGERO, Sintia Iole; GADELHA, Ary; BRESSAN, Rodrigo Affonseca; SALUM, Giovanni Abrahao; PAN, Pedro Mario; MORIYAMA, Tais Silveira; GRAEFF-MARTINS, Ana Soledade; TAMANAHA, Ana Carina; ALVARENGA, Pedro; KRIEGER, Fernanda Valle; FLEITLICH-BILYK, Bacy; JACKOWSKI, Andrea Parolin; BRIETZKE, Elisa; SATO, Joao Ricardo; POLANCZYK, Guilherme Vanoni; MARI, Jair de Jesus; MANFRO, Gisele Gus; ROSARIO, Maria Conceicao do; MIGUEL, Euripedes Constantino; PUGA, Renato David; TAHIRA, Ana Carolina; SOUZA, Viviane Neri; CHILE, Thais; GOUVEIA, Gisele Rodrigues; SIMOES, Sergio Nery; CHANG, Xiao; PELLEGRINO, Renata; TIAN, Lifeng; GLESSNER, Joseph T.; HASHIMOTO, Ronaldo Fumio; ROHDE, Luis Augusto; SLEIMAN, Patrick M. A.; HAKONARSON, Hakon; BRENTANI, HelenaMany studies have attempted to investigate the genetic susceptibility of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), but without much success. The present study aimed to analyze both single-nucleotide and copy-number variants contributing to the genetic architecture of ADHD. We generated exome data from 30 Brazilian trios with sporadic ADHD. We also analyzed a Brazilian sample of 503 children/adolescent controls from a High Risk Cohort Study for the Development of Childhood Psychiatric Disorders, and also previously published results of five CNV studies and one GWAS meta-analysis of ADHD involving children/adolescents. The results from the Brazilian trios showed that cases with de novo SNVs tend not to have de novo CNVs and vice-versa. Although the sample size is small, we could also see that various comorbidities are more frequent in cases with only inherited variants. Moreover, using only genes expressed in brain, we constructed two ""in silico"" protein-protein interaction networks, one with genes from any analysis, and other with genes with hits in two analyses. Topological and functional analyses of genes in this network uncovered genes related to synapse, cell adhesion, glutamatergic and serotoninergic pathways, both confirming findings of previous studies and capturing new genes and genetic variants in these pathways.
- Who are the children and adolescent patients of a national referral service of eating disorders in Brazil?: a cross-sectional study of a clinical sample(2013) PINZON, Vanessa Dentzien; TURKIEWICZ, Gizela; MONTEIRO, Denise Oliveira; KORITAR, Priscila; FLEITLICH-BILYK, BacyObjectives: To investigate the sociodemographic and clinical profile of patients receiving treatment at a specialized service for children and adolescents with eating disorders (ED) in São Paulo, Brazil, and to compare data with the relevant literature. Methods: This cross-sectional study assessed male and female patients with ED up to 18 years of age. All data were collected upon admission. Results: A total of 100 subjects were assessed. Mean age was 15.41±0.18 years, and mean age at ED onset was 13.5±0.19 years. Mean disease duration was 21.06 ±1.67 months. Of the total sample, 82% of the patients were female, 84% were Caucasian, 64% came from A and B economic tiers. Moreover, in 60% ED started at 14 years of age or less, and 74% had psychiatric comorbidities. Anorexia nervosa was the most prevalent diagnosis (43%). Hospitalized patients had lower body mass index, longer ED duration, and more severe scores on the Children's Global Assessment Scale than outpatients (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Our young Brazilian patients with ED present epidemiological and symptomatic characteristics very similar to those found in the scientific literature, including a high prevalence of psychiatric comorbidities. The higher frequency of full syndrome ED, the predominance of cases with an early onset, the delay in beginning specialized treatment, and the more severe state of inpatients provide grounds for concern because these factors differ from what has been reported in reference studies and indicate greater ED severity.
- Psychiatric disorders in adolescents with type 1 diabetes: a case-control study(2018) ALMEIDA, Mireille C.; CLAUDINO, Denise A.; GRIGOLON, Ruth B.; FLEITLICH-BILYK, Bacy; CLAUDINO, Angelica M.Objectives: To study the prevalence of psychiatric disorders in adolescents with and without type 1 diabetes, the factors associated with its presence, and to test the reliability of a screening tool for use in clinical settings. Methods: Eighty-one adolescents were enrolled in this case-control study, including 36 diabetic participants and 45 controls. Clinical and sociodemographic data were collected and psychiatric symptoms and diagnoses were obtained from adolescents and their parents using a screening tool (Strengths & Difficulties Questionnaire) and a semi-structured interview (Development and Well-Being Assessment). Results: Psychiatric disorders were identified in 22.2% of the sample (30.56% among diabetic adolescents vs. 15.56% of controls: OR = 2.39, 95% CI 0.82-6.99; p = 0.11). Overweight (body mass index percentileX85) was the only factor associated with psychiatric disorder (OR = 3.07; 95% CI 1.03-9.14; p = 0.04). Compared to the semi-structured interview, the screening instrument showed 80% sensitivity, 96% specificity, 88.9% positive predictive value and 92.3% negative predictive value for the presence of psychiatric diagnoses in adolescents. Conclusion: Psychiatric morbidity was high in this sample of adolescents, especially among those with diabetes. Routine use of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire can help with early detection of psychiatric disorders in this at-risk group.
- Menstrual Cycle Recovery in Patients with Anorexia Nervosa: The Importance of Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1(2014) COMINATO, Louise; SILVA, Mariana Moraes Xavier da; STEINMETZ, Leandra; PINZON, Vanessa; FLEITLICH-BILYK, Bacy; DAMIANI, DurvalBackground: Follow-up visits of patients recovering from anorexia nervosa (AN) have shown that some patients do not resume menstrual cycles despite returning to the normal weight for their age and height. Aim: To verify whether leptin, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) or another hormonal marker could be a good predictor of the return of menses. Patients and Methods: This prospective study included female adolescents diagnosed with AN or eating disorders not otherwise specified (EDNOS) and who were being treated in an ambulatory care unit during nutritional recovery. Body mass index and leptin, luteinizing hormone, estradiol and IGF-1 levels of these patients were evaluated. Blood samples were collected in the 1st (T1), 5th (T2), 10th (T3), 15th (T4) and 20th (T5) weeks of treatment. The hormone levels during nutritional recovery and at the time of the resumption of menses were analyzed. Results: The hormonal profiles improved after nutritional recovery, with IGF-1 correlating the most with the resumption of menses and nutritional recovery (p = 0.0001). At the resumption of menstruation, the patients showed IGF-1 levels >342.8 ng/ml. Conclusion: IGF-1 was the best predictor of the return of menses in female adolescents with AN or EDNOS. (C) 2014 S.

- Epidemiology of childhood conduct problems in Brazil: systematic review and meta-analysis(2013) MURRAY, Joseph; ANSELMI, Luciana; GALLO, Erika Alejandra Giraldo; FLEITLICH-BILYK, Bacy; BORDIN, Isabel A.This study aimed to review evidence on the prevalence of and risk factors for conduct problems in Brazil. We searched electronic databases and contacted Brazilian researchers up to 05/2012. Studies were included in the review if they reported the prevalence of or risk factors for conduct problems, conduct disorder, or oppositional defiant disorder for 100 + Brazilian children aged a parts per thousand currency sign18 years, systematically sampled in schools or the community. Prevalence rates and sex differences were meta-analysed. Risk factor studies were reviewed one by one. The average prevalence of conduct problems in screening questionnaires was 20.8 %, and the average prevalence of conduct disorder/oppositional defiant disorder was 4.1 %. There was systematic variation in the results of screening studies according to methodology: recruitment location, informants, instruments, impairment criterion for case definition, and response rates. Risk factors previously identified in high-income countries were mainly replicated in Brazil, including comorbid mental health problems, educational failure, low religiosity, harsh physical punishment and abuse, parental mental health problems, single parent family, and low socioeconomic status. However, boys did not always have higher risk for conduct problems than girls. Studies using screening questionnaires suggest that Brazilian children have higher rates of conduct problems than children in other countries, but diagnostic studies do not show this difference. Risk factors in Brazil were similar to those in high-income countries, apart from child sex. Future research should investigate developmental patterns of antisocial behaviour, employ a variety of research designs to identify causal risk mechanisms, and examine a broader range of risk factors.
- Validation of the Disordered Eating Attitude Scale for adolescents(2016) ALVARENGA, Marle S.; KORITAR, Priscila; PINZON, Vanessa D.; FIGUEIREDO, Manoela; FLEITLICH-BILYK, Bacy; PHILIPPI, Sonia T.; SCAGLIUSI, Fernanda B.ABSTRACT Objective To perform the psychometric evaluation of the Disordered Eating Attitude Scale (DEAS) for adolescents. Methods Sample consisted of 1,119 Brazilian adolescents (12-18 years old; 59.6% female) studying at technical schools in São Paulo state-Brazil, who answered an online survey with the DEAS, the Eating Attitude Test (EAT-26), and the Restraint Scale (RS). The internal consistency of the DEAS was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha. The convergent validity of DEAS was evaluated by means of Pearson’s coefficient correlation with EAT-26 and RS. The test-retest reliability was evaluated using a sub-sample of 61 adolescents. Known-groups validity was determined by comparing female student mean scores with scores of 33 female adolescents with eating disorders. Results The reliability of the DEAS was 0.79. EAT-26 and RS scores were positively correlated with DEAS scores (EAT: 0.78 for females and 0.59 for males, p < 0.001; RS: 0.63 for females and 0.48 for males, p < 0.001). The DEAS total and subscale scores differentiated students and patients with eating disorders (p < 0.001). The intra-class correlation coefficient for test-retest reliability was 0.87. Conclusion Results indicate that the DEAS adolescent version showed good internal consistency, convergent validity, known-groups validity, and test-retest reliability, suggesting its potential in identifying disordered eating attitudes among adolescents. It could also be helpful in identifying adolescents at risk from eating disorders, assisting in prevention programs.
- Prevalence and comorbidity of psychiatric disorders among 6-year-old children: 2004 Pelotas Birth Cohort(2014) PETRESCO, Sandra; ANSELMI, Luciana; SANTOS, Ina S.; BARROS, Aluisio J. D.; FLEITLICH-BILYK, Bacy; BARROS, Fernando C.; MATIJASEVICH, AliciaMost studies published on the prevalence of psychiatric disorders in children were conducted in high-income countries despite the fact that nearly 90 % of the world's population aged under 18 live in low- and middle-income countries. The study aimed to assess the prevalence of psychiatric disorders among children of 6 years of age, to examine the distribution of psychiatric disorders by gender and socioeconomic status and to evaluate the occurrence of psychiatric comorbidities. The 2004 Pelotas Birth Cohort originally comprised 4,231 live births from Pelotas, southern Brazil. A total of 3,585 (84.7 % of 4,231 births) children aged 6 years were assessed using the Development and Well-Being Assessment (DAWBA). Nearly 13 % of the children presented a psychiatric diagnosis according to DSM-IV, being more prevalent among males than females (14.7 and 11.7 %, respectively, p = 0.009). Anxiety disorders were the most prevalent of all disorders (8.8 %) and specific phobias (5.4 %) and separation anxiety disorder (3.2 %) were the most common subtypes. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (2.6 %), oppositional defiant disorder/conduct disorder (2.6 %), and depression (1.3 %) were also diagnosed. More than one psychiatric disorder was presented by 17 % of children. Socioeconomically disadvantaged children had a higher prevalence of psychiatric disorders. Our findings underline the early onset of psychiatric disorders among children and the frequent occurrence of psychiatric comorbidity. Early prevention is needed in the field of mental health in Brazil and should start during infancy.
bookPart Development and well-being assessment (DAWBA)(2016) GRAEFF-MARTINS, Ana Soledade; FLEITLICH-BILYK, Bacy- High risk cohort study for psychiatric disorders in childhood: rationale, design, methods and preliminary results(2015) SALUM, Giovanni Abrahao; GADELHA, Ary; PAN, Pedro Mario; MORIYAMA, Tais Silveira; GRAEFF-MARTINS, Ana Soledade; TAMANAHA, Ana Carina; ALVARENGA, Pedro; KRIEGER, Fernanda Valle; FLEITLICH-BILYK, Bacy; JACKOWSKI, Andrea; SATO, Joao Ricardo; BRIETZKE, Elisa; POLANCZYK, Guilherme Vanoni; BRENTANI, Helena; MARI, Jair de Jesus; ROSARIO, Maria Conceicao Do; MANFRO, Gisele Gus; BRESSAN, Rodrigo Affonseca; MERCADANTE, Marcos Tomanik; MIGUEL, Euripedes Constantino; ROHDE, Luis AugustoThe objective of this study is to present the rationale, methods, design and preliminary results from the High Risk Cohort Study for the Development of Childhood Psychiatric Disorders. We describe the sample selection and the components of each phases of the study, its instruments, tasks and procedures. Preliminary results are limited to the baseline phase and encompass: (i) the efficacy of the oversampling procedure used to increase the frequency of both child and family psychopathology; (ii) interrater reliability and (iii) the role of differential participation rate. A total of 9937 children from 57 schools participated in the screening procedures. From those 2512 (random =958; high risk =1554) were further evaluated with diagnostic instruments. The prevalence of any child mental disorder in the random strata and high-risk strata was 19.9% and 29.7%. The oversampling procedure was successful in selecting a sample with higher family rates of any mental disorders according to diagnostic instruments. Interrater reliability (kappa) for the main diagnostic instrument range from 0.72 (hyperkinetic disorders) to 0.84 (emotional disorders). The screening instrument was successful in selecting a sub-sample with high risk for developing mental disorders. This study may help advance the field of child psychiatry and ultimately provide useful clinical information.
