Ascertaining physical health risk markers in serious mental illness.

  • Applicant: Robert Stewart
  • Project ID: 18-022

We know that people with serious mental illness (e.g. schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder) have worse than expected physical health outcomes. We will look for ways in which risk factors can be routinely identified in CRIS using natural language processing and other techniques, focusing in particular on cardiovascular, respiratory and bone health.

The Clinical Record Interactive Search (CRIS) system is a computer system that allows researchers at the NIHR Maudsley Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) to carry out research using information from South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust clinical records.
