Around one in seven prisoners are diagnosed with psychosis or depression. The chronicity of psychiatric morbidities may lead to suicidality among prisoners. Thus, the aim of this study was to screen psychiatric morbidity in a male only prison. \u0000Method: This was cross-sectional analytical study done at Nakkhu Jail in Nepal. A total of 490 prisoners selected by total enumerative sampling were interviewed face-to-face. Modified Mini Screen was used to find out psychiatric morbidities. Data analysis was done using frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation. Association and correlation between information related to prisoners and environmental variables and psychiatric morbidity were analyzed using Chi-square and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient test respectively. \u0000Result: The psychiatric morbidity was found positive among 10.41% of prisoners. Suicidality was present among 3.47% of prisoners and 3.06% had post-traumatic stress disorder. There was significant association between length of stay in prison (p=0.026), satisfaction on living facilities (p=0.017), regular health check-up (p<0.001), doctor appointment during health problems (p<0.001) and psychiatric morbidity. \u0000Conclusion: About one tenth of prisoners were found positive for psychiatric morbidity. There was significant association between length of stay, satisfaction on living facilities, regular health check-up, doctor appointment during health problems and psychiatric morbidity. Improving living services, early recognition of psychiatric morbidity through periodic health services and treatment in prison may lead to low prevalence of psychiatric morbidity.","PeriodicalId":123833,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Patan Academy of Health Sciences","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126651254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This can help in early diagnosis and treatment of indeterminate adnexal lesions. This study aims to evaluate the features suggestive of malignant features and accuracy of ovarian adnexal reporting and data system (O-RADS) MRI score in distinguishing benign from malignant lesions when compared with histopathology which is gold standard. \u0000Method: This was a retrospective study of MRI pelvis carried out in patients with indeterminate adnexal lesions who had MRI pelvis done from 2018 to 2022 at Patan Hospital, Lalitpur, Nepal. Ethical approval was obtained from the institutional review committee of Patan Academy of Health Sciences. MRI diagnosis based on O-RADS MRI score was compared with histopathology diagnosis and sensitivity, specificity was calculated. Chi square test was computed and p-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. \u0000Result: Among 175 patients, 135 had benign and 40 had malignant lesions. Malignancy was common in middle aged patients (41-60years).MRI features of malignancy were multilocular, solid cystic lesion with contrast enhancement, septations and diffusion restriction. Significant statistical association of O-RADS MRI score was found with histopathology diagnosed malignancy. 92.5% of malignancy had O-RADS MRI score of 4 and 5.The sensitivity and specificity of MRI diagnosing indeterminate lesion was 92.5% and 91.85% respectively. \u0000Conclusion: O-RADS MRI scoring is significantly associated with histopathology proven adnexal malignancy hence helps in accurately diagnosing indeterminate adnexal lesions and stratisfying the risk of malignancy.","PeriodicalId":123833,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Patan Academy of Health Sciences","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122036763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
