This diagnosis applies particularly to bipolar disorder (BD), where return to flying duty is not an option in the majority of cases. BD is a long-term mental disorder presenting remittent depressive, hypomanic, manic, or mixed episodes between low symptomatic or asymptomatic intermediate periods. Onset in most cases is in late teen or early adult years. Suicidal intentions and suicide risk are significantly elevated in individuals with BD compared to the general population. METHODS: A systematic literature search was performed of BD and aviation accidents and the National Transportation Safety Board database of fatal general aviation accidents was searched. One case report and two database reports of interest from 1994 to 2014 were identified. RESULTS: The findings set a minimum frequency of BD in general aviation fatalities to be approximately 2 out of 8648 (0.023%) in the United States. DISCUSSION: The reported incidence may underestimate the real number of BD cases for several reasons, including the fact that the medical history of pilots is not always available or is sometimes not the primary interest of a safety investigation. This study suggests that the demarcation of psychiatric disorder related to fitness to fly is an important step in safety.  ردمد : 1111111  اسم الدورية : Aerospace Medicine and Human Performance  المجلد : 88  العدد : 1  سنة النشر : 1438 هـ 2017 م  نوع المقالة : مقالة علمية  تاريخ الاضافة على الموقع : Thursday, June 27, 2019  الباحثون اسم الباحث (عربي) اسم الباحث (انجليزي) نوع الباحث المرتبة العلمية البريد الالكتروني Alpo Vuorio Vuorio, Alpo باحث رئيسي دكتوراه alpo.vuorio@gmail.com Tanja Laukkala Laukkala, Tanja باحث دكتوراه   Robert Bor Bor, Robert باحث دكتوراه   Antti Sajantila Sajantila, Antti باحث دكتوراه   Pooshan Navathe Navathe, Pooshan باحث دكتوراه   Bruce Budowle Budowle, Bruce باحث دكتوراه   الملفات اسم الملف النوع الوصف  44543.pdf pdf   الرجوع إلى صفحة الأبحاث
