Associations between the stanford integrated psychosocial assessment for transplant and one-year lung transplant medical and psychosocial outcomes.

The Stanford Integrated Psychosocial Assessment for Transplant (SIPAT) is a standardized measure of the psychosocial risk profile of solid organ transplant candidates. While studies have found associations between this measure and transplant outcomes, to date this has not been examined in lung transplant recipients. We examined relations between pre-transplant SIPAT scores and 1-year lung transplant medical and psychosocial outcomes in a sample of 45 lung transplant recipients.

Characterization of the Stanford Integrated Psychosocial Assessment for Transplant (SIPAT) in Lung Transplant Candidates.

The SIPAT is a standardized measure for pre-transplant psychosocial evaluation. Previous SIPAT studies utilized a relatively small lung transplant sample and only included listed patients. This study characterized the SIPAT in 147 lung transplant candidates to better elucidate its utility.

Children with 7q11.23 duplication syndrome: psychological characteristics.

To begin to delineate the psychological characteristics associated with classic 7q11.23 duplication syndrome (duplication of the classic Williams syndrome region; hereafter classic Dup7), we tested 63 children with classic Dup7 aged 4-17 years. Sixteen toddlers aged 18-45 months with classic Dup7 and 12 adults identified by cascade testing also were assessed.

Duplication of GTF2I results in separation anxiety in mice and humans.

Duplication (dup7q11.23) and deletion (Williams syndrome) of chromosomal region 7q11.23 cause neurodevelopmental disorders with contrasting anxiety phenotypes.

Longitudinal course of anxiety in children and adolescents with Williams syndrome.

The longitudinal course of anxiety disorders in 45 children and adolescents with Williams syndrome (WS) was examined. Children were ages 4-13 years at the initial assessment. To assess their child's DSM-IV diagnoses, parents completed a structured diagnostic interview 3-9 times at intervals of at least 1 year.
