FondaMental Advanced Center of Expertise-Bipolar Disorder (FACE-BD)
FACE-BD is an open, ongoing cohort of individuals with bipolar disorder (BD) who are clinically assessed at inclusion and annually followed-up for at least 3 years. The study aims to identify clinical/biological signatures of outcomes, trajectories of functioning, and transition between clinical stages. The cohort included 4,422 individuals, all having a baseline assessment, among which 61.2% had at least one follow-up visit at either one, two, or three years. The mean age of participants at baseline was 40.5 years. Individuals are followed-up annually for at least 3 years. A subsample of 1,200 individuals had at least one biological sample (serum, plasma, DNA).
