Unwin G, Deb S, 2008, Psychiatric and behavioural assessment scales for adults with learning disabilities, Advances in Mental Health and Learning Disabilities, Vol: 2, Pages: 37-45, ISSN: 1753-0180
<jats:p>The paper reports on a review of assessment scales commonly used for assessment of psychiatric illnesses or behaviour problems in adults with learning disabilities. Initially, a literature search was conducted to identify relevant peer‐reviewed journal publications pertaining to relevant scales. Those scales with more publications were reviewed with reference to the scale composition and psychometric properties. In total, eight behaviour scales, one psychiatric illness scale and three combined behaviour and psychiatric illness scales are reviewed.</jats:p>

The aim was to investigate prescribing practices surrounding the use of medication for the management of behavioural problems in adults with intellectual disabilities with reference to a national guideline development project. A case note review methodology was employed to explore adherence to the audit criteria that were derived from the recommendations made in the guideline. A total of 154 cases were identified as meeting the inclusion criteria. There was some variation in adherence to the examined audit criteria with some areas achieving high compliance whereas others were deemed as lacking. Such areas achieving high compliance included assessment of the behaviour, assessment of surrounding behavioural, medical, psychological/ psychiatric and social issues and communication of the treatment plan to other relevant professionals. However, the assessment of capacity issues and acquizition of consent or assent were rarely documented. The results highlighted certain areas of clinical practice that may need to be formally documented in patient case notes in order to provide evidence of the quality of healthcare an individual has received. © Journal compilation © 2008 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.

Tyrer P, Oliver-Africano PC, Ahmed Z, et al., 2008, Risperidone, haloperidol, and placebo in the treatment of aggressive challenging behaviour in patients with intellectual disability: a randomised controlled trial., Lancet, Vol: 371, Pages: 57-63, ISSN: 1474-547X
BACKGROUND: Aggressive challenging behaviour is frequently reported in adults with intellectual disability and it is often treated with antipsychotic drugs. However, no adequate evidence base for this practice exists. We compared flexible doses of haloperidol (a typical, first-generation antipsychotic drug), risperidone (an atypical, second-generation antipsychotic), and placebo, in the treatment of this behaviour. METHODS: 86 non-psychotic patients presenting with aggressive challenging behaviour from ten centres in England and Wales, and one in Queensland, Australia, were randomly assigned to haloperidol (n=28), risperidone (n=29), or placebo (n=29). Clinical assessments of aggression, aberrant behaviour, quality of life, adverse drug effects, and carer uplift (positive feelings about the care of the disabled person) and burden, together with total costs, were recorded at 4, 12, and 26 weeks. The primary outcome was change in aggression after 4 weeks' treatment, which was recorded with the modified overt aggression scale (MOAS). Analysis was by intention to treat. This study is registered as ISRCTN 11736448. FINDINGS: 80 patients had adherence of 80% or more to prescribed drug. Aggression decreased substantially with all three treatments by 4 weeks, with the placebo group showing the greatest change (median decrease in MOAS score after 4 weeks=9 [95% CI 5-14] for placebo, 79% from baseline; 7 [4-14] for risperidone, 58% from baseline; 6.5 [5-14] for haloperidol, 65% from baseline; p=0.06). Furthermore, although no important differences between the treatments were recorded, including adverse effects, patients given placebo showed no evidence at any time points of worse response than did patients assigned to either of the antipsychotic drugs. INTERPRETATION: Antipsychotic drugs should no longer be regarded as an acceptable routine treatment for aggressive challenging behaviour in people with intellectual disability.
