There is very little literature that describes outpatient catatonia management practices, none of which discusses the use of the electronic health record (EHR). Thus, we conducted this study to analyze patient messages in a specialized catatonia clinic. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We conducted a retrospective analysis of messaging practices in the EHR for patients in a specialized clinic with autism and catatonia from July 1, 2021, to May 31, 2024. Catatonic symptom severity was recorded via the Bush Francis Catatonia Rating Scale (BFCRS), Kanner Catatonia Severity Scale (KCS), and Kanner Catatonia Examination (KCE). We conducted Spearman and Pearson correlation coefficients to determine whether a relationship exists between the frequency of patient messages, catatonic symptoms, and length of follow-up. <b><i>Results:</i></b> A total of 12,972 messages were sent to the health system or received by the patient or their family. Of those, 6375 (49.1%) messages were sent from the family to the health system. Relationships between message frequency to the health system and all baseline catatonia severity scores (BFCRS, KCS, KCE) were not statistically significant, although message frequency was strongly associated with length of follow-up (<i>r</i> = 0.65, <i>p</i> < 0.001). A total of 5555 (42.8%) messages were sent directly to or received from providers in the catatonia specialty clinic. The rate of messages to providers in the catatonia clinic was 2.9 messages/day. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> The frequency of patient messaging was high in this catatonia specialty clinic. Health systems should consider this possibility when planning for similar service lines.</p>","PeriodicalId":15277,"journal":{"name":"Journal of child and adolescent psychopharmacology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143999369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given their frequent coprescription with second-generation antipsychotics (SGA) in pediatric patients, this study aims to examine whether concomitant use of psychostimulants mitigates SGA-associated weight gain in children and adolescents. <b><i>Method:</i></b> This study utilized the IQVIA Ambulatory electronic medical record-U.S. database (2016-2021) to identify patients aged 6-17 years who initiated an SGA. Those who started psychostimulants within 7 days of SGA initiation and maintained ≥90 days of use were classified as concomitant users, while those who initiated psychostimulants later with ≥90 days of overlap were add-on users. Patients never prescribed psychostimulants were SGA-only users. After adjusting for the baseline covariates using propensity scores, 6- and 12-month body mass index (BMI) <i>z</i>-score trends following psychostimulant initiation were compared between (1) concomitant and SGA-only users and (2) add-on and SGA-only users, using a linear mixed-effects regression model. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The results of linear mixed effect regression models indicate that concomitant users experienced a 0.0143 less monthly BMI <i>z</i>-score increase (<i>p</i> = 0.0063) compared with the SGA-only users over the 6 months following psychostimulant initiation.

When the follow-up period was extended to 12 months, the sensitivity analyses for both concomitant and add-on users were consistent with their primary analyses. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> Concomitant and add-on psychostimulants appear to mitigate SGA-associated weight gain in children and adolescents.

GI symptoms have been shown to be correlated with the autonomic nervous system and endocrine response to stress in some people with ASD. Furthermore, propranolol, a central and peripheral beta-adrenergic antagonist that inhibits the stress response, has been shown to provide GI relief for some individuals with ASD, but not others. This pilot study examined whether baseline (i.e., resting) heart rate variability (HRV), a biomarker that is sensitive to the stress response, predicted the response to propranolol in decreasing GI symptoms. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> In this pilot study, a sample of 37 individuals with ASD participated in a 12-week open-label trial of propranolol. The Gastrointestinal Severity Index and HRV were collected at baseline (i.e., prior to taking propranolol) and again at the end of the 12-week trial period. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Higher HRV was associated with the greatest reduction in GI symptoms, with a strong effect size, but only for adolescents and young adults (15-24 years old). Baseline HRV and GI change scores were not significantly correlated for younger children (7-14 years old). <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> The results from this open-label pilot trial suggest that autistic adolescents and young adults with higher baseline HRV, indicating greater parasympathetic tone, may respond better to propranolol and show the greatest reduction in GI symptoms.
