About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the presence of pathogenic Escherichia coli in colon is associated with psychiatric disorders.

Read the detailed description

Colonic colonization by pathogenic Escherichia coli was determined when patients were operated on for colorectal cancer.

Several years later, the investigator investigate past and actual psychiatric disorder using the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI). Actual depression and anxiety scores are evaluated with Hamilton scales and personality traits are investigated using Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5).

Anxiety and depression scores, psychiatric diagnoses (MINI) and personality traits were compared in patients according to Escherichia coli presence/absence.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Hamilton anxiety and depression score comparison

    Hamilton anxiety and depression score will be compared between patients with Escherichi coli colonic colonization and patients without Escherichi coli

    Measured: at day 1

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Psychiatric prevalence comparison

    prevalence of each past and actual psychiatric disorder diagnosed by the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI: major depression, dysthymia, suicidal risk, hypomania, mania, panic disorder, agoraphobia, social phobia, specific phobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, dependence and abuse of alcohol, tobacco- dependence, psychotic disorders and generalized anxiety disorder) will be compared in patients according to colonic colonization by Escherichia coli.

    Measured: at day 1

  2. personality traits comparison

    personality traits investigated using Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5) will be compared in patients according colonic colonization by Escherichia coli

    Measured: at day 1
