Outcome measures
Primary outcome
The AMSTAD-OCD study will provide knowledge on the long-term course of OCD and
its public health consequences, the onset and course of comorbidity and
chronicity and the influence of biological, psychological and social
determinants and their mutual relationship with respect to the course of OCD,
the development of comorbidity and the development of chronicity.
Secondary outcome
NVT
Background summary
In about half of the patients with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder the disorder
becomes resistant to treatment and as a consequence runs a chronic course. Up
till now the determinants of such unfavorable course remain largely unknown.
Moreover, interventions preventing chronicity and treatment resistance in OCD
do not exist. The AMSTAD-OCD study is innovative because it is the first time
that these determinants are studied in concert in a sufficiently large
representative clinical group of OCD patients. The knowledge provided by this
study could contribute to improvements in the treatment of this disorder, with
a view to preventing chronicity where possible.
Study objective
The AMSTAD-OCD study aims to contribute to the improvement of outcome in OCD by
identifying the determinants of a chronic course.
Study design
Logitudinal cohort study.
Study burden and risks
Patients with OCD will receive 5 times an interview, self-report questionnaires
and a medical examination included venapunction. The risks for these
assessments are low.
