This study investigates: (1) the course of comorbid Axis I disorders in chronic alcoholics over 2 years of controlled abstinence in the outpatient long-term intensive therapy for alcoholics (OLITA) and (2) the effect of comorbid Axis I and II disorders in this group of patients on subsequent drinking outcome over a four-year follow-up. This prospective treatment study evaluates psychiatric variables of 89 severely affected chronic alcohol dependent patients on admission (t1), month 6 (t2), 12 (t3) and 24 (t4). Drinking outcomes have been analyzed from 1998 to 2002. On admission, 61.8% of the patients met criteria for a comorbid Axis I disorder, 63.2% for a comorbid personality disorder. Axis I disorders remit from t1 (59.0% ill), t2 (38.5%), t3 (28.2%) to t4 (12.8%) (p<0.0001). Anxiety disorders remit more slowly from t1 (43.6%) to t3 (20.5%, p=0.0086), whereas mood disorders remit early between t1 (23.1%) and t2 (5.1%, p=0.0387) with a slight transient increase at t3 (10.3%). During the four-year follow-up, the cumulative probability of not having relapsed amounts to 0.59. Two predictors have a strong negative impact on abstinence probability: number of inpatient detoxifications (p=0.0013) and personality disorders (p=0.0106). The present study demonstrates a striking remission of comorbid Axis I disorders upon abstinence during comprehensive long-term outpatient alcoholism treatment. The presence of an Axis II rather than an Axis I disorder on admission strongly predicts drinking outcome over a four-year follow-up"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.jpsychires.2004.04.007"],["dc.identifier.gro","3150506"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/7278"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.issn","0022-3956"],["dc.subject","Outpatient alcoholism treatment; Chronic alcohol dependence; Prognosis; Comorbid personality disorders; Chronicity; Chronic psychiatric illness"],["dc.title","Substantial decrease of psychiatric comorbidity in chronic alcoholics upon integrated outpatient treatment - results of a prospective study"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","unknown"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

As a potential explanation of this phenomenon, a reduction of AVP immunoreactive neurons was described in the hypothalamus of alcohol-dependent humans and rodents. This study was therefore designed to examine whether long-term abstinent alcoholics have a compromised response of AVP to osmostimulation.Methods: Fifteen male alcoholics, aged 42 ± 2 years, were examined (1) over 12 months of strictly controlled abstinence (longitudinal study) and (2) during an osmostimulation test (5% NaCl infusion at 0.06 ml/kg/min over 2 hr) and were compared with 15 healthy male subjects, aged 41 ± 2 years. AVP and routine laboratory parameters, including electrolytes and osmolality, were measured.Results: Starting from lower basal concentrations, alcoholics showed increases similar to those of controls in AVP and plasma osmolality after osmostimulation. The first sensation of thirst was announced significantly later by alcoholics than by controls. Twenty-hour-posttest urine volume and sodium excretion were reduced in alcoholics compared with controls.Conclusions: Despite their persistently decreased basal AVP plasma levels, long-term abstinent alcoholics have a well preserved AVP response to osmostimulation. This finding indicates a peripheral suppression of AVP levels that is most likely due to a regulatory set-point shift toward hypotonic hyperhydration, rather than to a reduced central capacity of AVP secretion."],["dc.identifier.gro","3150442"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/7206"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.issn","0145-6008"],["dc.subject","Alcoholism; Abstinence; Antidiuretic Hormone; AVP; Osmolality"],["dc.title","Preserved vasopressin response to osmostimulation despite decreased basal vasopressin levels in long-term abstinent alcoholics"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
