| Abstract | Objective Medical disorders in patients with bipolar disorder (BD) have attracted more and more attention. So far, there is still a lack of studies on this issue utilizing large sample sizes in the Chinese sample. Therefore, we conducted this study to explore the clinical characteristics of BD patients comorbid medical disorders in a relatively large Chinese sample. Methods This was a cross-sectional study including 1,393 BD patients (882 patients with medical disorders and 511 patients without medical disorders). Their demographic and clinical characteristics were obtained by the Hospital Information System and self-designed questionnaires. Results The comorbidity rate of medical disorders in BD was 63.32%. The average number of medical disorders for a BD patient was 2.69. The top five comorbid medical disorders in BD patients were circulatory system diseases (19%), nervous system diseases (18%), endocrine and metabolic diseases (17%), digestive system diseases (16%), and respiratory system diseases (8%). BD patients with comorbid medical disorders had an older average age, lower education level, longer illness course, later onset age, lower ratio of psychotic features, more admission numbers, higher ratio of smoking and drinking alcohol, more number of manic episodes (All P < 0.05). Smoking, numbers of depressive episode, onset age, and illness course were independent risk factors of comorbidities in BD patients (All P < 0.05). Conclusions Medical disorders in Chinese BD patients are highly prevalent. The smoking, number of depressive episodes, onset age, illness course, are correlated with BD patients comorbid medical disorders. Clinicians should pay attention to the medical disorders comorbidities in BD patients, and take effective measures to improve treatment outcome and reduce the suffering. The integrative approach should be the imperative in clinical practice. |
