RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Sleep disorders associated factors are under explored in schizophrenia while the literature suggests high and heterogeneous frequency. AIMS: The objective of the present study was to determine the prevalence and risk factors of sleep disorders in the real-world FACE-SZ national cohort. METHOD: Stabilized schizophrenic outpatients were recruited in 10 expert centers for schizophrenia. Sleep quality was explored with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and sleep disorders was defined by a PSQI score > 5. Psychosis severity was measured with the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale, current major depressive episode with the Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia, verbal aggressiveness with the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire, adherence to treatment with the Medication Adherence Rating Scale, akathisia with the Barnes Akathisia Scale. Current somatic comorbidities and body mass index were reported. Variables with P values <0.20 in univariate analysis were included in a multivariate regression model. RESULTS: Of the 562 included patients, 327 subjects (58.2%, IC95% [54.1% - 62.3%]) reported having sleep disorders. After adjustment, sleep disorders were significantly associated with migraine (adjusted odds ratio aOR = 2.23, p = 0.041), major depressive disorder (aOR 1.79, p = 0.030), poor adherence to treatment (aOR = 0.87, p = 0.006), akathisia (aOR = 1.29, p = 0.042) and verbal aggressiveness (aOR = 1.09, p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS: More than one on two stabilized real-life outpatients with schizophrenia have been identified with sleep disorders. Combined with the literature data, we have yielded expert recommendations for the treatment and prevention of sleep disorders including treating undiagnosed comorbid depression and migraine and managing antipsychotic treatment to improve adherence and akathisia.

BACKGROUND: The National FondaMental Centers of Expertise (FACE) for Schizophrenia (SZ) have been created to shorten the gap between research and clinical practice. OBJECTIVES: To synthetize in a review the 10-year findings issued from the FACE-SZ cohort analyses. METHODS: More than 1000 patients were evaluated in 10 expert centers since 2010 with a 2-day long comprehensive standardized battery including neuropsychological testes and physical health assessment and followed-up for 3â¯years. RESULTS: 1. The phase 0 cross-sectional analyses have confirmed well-known data: over-prescription of first-generation antipsychotics, antipsychotic polytherapy and long-term benzodiazepine and under-prescription of clozapine, 13% of drug-induced parkinsonism, 18% of akathisia, a mean duration of untreated psychosis of 18â¯months, one third of poorly-adherent patients, 24% of metabolic syndrome and 52% of current tobacco smokers with poor care for physical illnesses; a yearly mean financial cost of 15,000 euro/patient. 2. FACE-SZ also yielded additional data in insufficiently explored area: a half of major depression issues (among them one third of undiagnosed major depression and 44% of treated patients with unremitted depression), major depression having a strong impact on Quality of Life independently of negative symptoms, 22% of moderated to severe untreated physical pain. 3. FACE-SZ has explored emerging fields of research, including development of 4 stages- model of schizophrenia, chronic low-grade peripheral inflammation, latent Toxoplasma infection, hypovitaminosis D, and a model for relapse prediction at 2â¯years. DISCUSSION: The associated factors and implications for public health programs were discussed. Based on the FACE-SZ findings and literature, the FACE-SZ group has yielded recommendations to improve daily care for schizophrenia and for future research.
