110 studies reporting on 45,533 individuals with psychosis, of whom 8,439 were violent, were synthesized in this systematic review and meta-regression analysis. The work was conducted by Katrina Witt of the University of Oxford. It identifies dynamic and static risk factors associated with violent outcomes.
Use Cases
- Identify modifiable risk factors for violence based on meta-analysis of dynamic factors like substance misuse and non-adherence.
- Compare the strength of association for static risk factors like criminal history versus dynamic factors.
- Investigate heterogeneity in risk factors between inpatient and outpatient settings as mentioned in the sub-group analyses.
- Build predictive models for severe violence outcomes using the identified risk domains.
- Validate clinical risk assessment tools against the aggregated evidence from 110 primary studies.
Strengths
- Aggregates data from 110 primary studies involving 45,533 individuals.
- Reports on 10 distinct risk factor domains derived from a meta-epidemiological approach.
- Includes sub-group analyses for severe violence and inpatient settings.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
