      Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are more common in alcohol use disorder (AUD) patients than in the general population. Still, there is a lack of knowledge about the relationship between the two conditions in these patients. The main objective of this study was to examine the prevalence of ADHD symptoms, and the relationship between ADHD ...

    • Antisocial Personality Disorder Among Patients in Treatment for Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD): Characteristics and Predictors of Early Relapse or Drop-Out

      <i>Background</i>: Patients with alcohol use disorders (AUD) vary significantly in many clinically important characteristics making them a heterogenous group. AUD patients with comorbid antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) form an important sub-group, and studies indicate that these patients may have poorer treatment outcomes. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the characteristics of AUD inpatients ...

      Pandey, Susmita; Bolstad, Ingeborg; Lien, Lars; Bramness, Jørgen Gustav (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-07)
      Background: Prolactin mirrors the dopaminergic activity in the brain which is key to understanding alcohol use disorders (AUD).

In this study, we examined gender-wise relationship of alcohol use trait- and state-related factors with the level ...

    • Inflammatory cytokines in alcohol use disorder patients are lower in smokers and users of smokeless tobacco 

      Bolstad, Ingeborg; Lien, Lars; Moe, Jenny Skumsnes; Pandey, Susmita; Toft, Helge; Bramness, Jørgen Gustav (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-19)
      Background - Smoking and alcohol use often co-occur, and the use of nicotine-containing products is particularly common among persons with alcohol use disorder (AUD). Recent evidence shows that chronic alcohol use leads to inflammation through increased gut permeability and dysregulated cytokine levels. While cigarette smoking also has detrimental health effects, nicotine has immune dampening effects ...

    • Levels of IL-6 are Associated with Lifetime Attempted Suicide in Alcohol Use Disorder Patients 

      Bramness, Jørgen Gustav; Pandey, Susmita; Moe, Jenny Skumsnes; Walby, Fredrik A; Myhre, Martin Øverlien; Bolstad, Ingeborg; Lien, Lars (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-12)
      Background: Patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD) have an increased risk of suicide. Neuroimmunological measures, such as cytokines, are shown to deviate in people with attempted suicide. Few studies have investigated this among AUD patients.<p> <p>Patients and Methods: One-hundred and fourteen patients undergoing residential treatment for AUD were interviewed on lifetime suicide attempts (SA) ...

    • Longitudinal determinants of insomnia among patients with alcohol use disorder 

      Bolstad, Ingeborg; Toft, Helge; Lien, Lars; Moe, Jenny Skumsnes; Rolland, Benjamin; Bramness, Jørgen Gustav (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-07)
      Insomnia is common among patients with AUD and can impair quality of life and cognitive functioning, as well as cause psycho-social problems and increased risk of relapse. Nonetheless, determinants of insomnia in patients with AUD have scarcely been studied. We aimed to examine prevalence and development of self-perceived insomnia among inpatients in treatment for AUD, and to examine factors in ...

    • Persistent level of mental distress in PTSD patients is not reflected in cytokine levels 1 year after the treatment 

      Toft, Helge; Bramness, Jørgen Gustav; Tilden, Terje; Bolstad, Ingeborg; Lien, Lars (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-27)
      <i>Objective</i>: Cross-sectional data show that post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) patients often have increased levels of circulating inflammatory markers. There is, however, still a paucity of longitudinal studies with long follow-up times on levels of cytokines in such patients. The current study assesses patients with and without PTSD diagnosis 1 year after discharge from inpatient ...
