English abstract:
      Objective To study the prospective memory deficits of obsessive-compulsive disorder patients and unaffected first-degree relatives of patients, so as to validate the possibility of prospective memory as an endophenotype of obsessive-compulsive disorder.Methods Healthy controls, obsessive-compulsive disorder patients and unaffected first-degree relatives of patients, each with 25 cases, matched for age, education, gender, IQ and marriage status were enrolled. The standardized prospective memory paradigm with a multi-trial design was conducted, and the accuracy was used as an indicator of prospective memory function.Results The accuracy of event- and time-based prospective memory tasks of obsessive-compulsive disorder patients was lower than that of healthy controls, with statistical differences [(0.74±0.24) vs. (0.88±0.13), d=-0.140, P=0.044; (0.77±0.21) vs. (0.93±0.10), d=-0.164, P=0.011]. The accuracy of event-based prospective memory task of unaffected first-degree relatives was also lower than that of healthy controls, with statistical difference [(0.73±0.20) vs. (0.88±0.13), d=-0.144, P=0.036].Conclusion Obsessive-compulsive disorder patients has extensive prospective memory deficits, indicating that prospective memory may be an endophenotype of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
