The use of artificial intelligence in the creation of discharge summaries seems particularly interesting and valid. The course of each hospitalization is described in the discharge summary, which is given to each patient and then to his general practitioner at the end of hospital treatment. An exploratory analysis of discharge summaries in psychiatric clinics underscores that these documents must fulfill diverse and specific requirements. Nevertheless, AI-generated discharge summaries offer the opportunity to optimize information transfer and alleviate the workload on physicians.MethodThe study evaluates the quality of discharge summaries produced by clinical staff and by an AI model (ChatGPT 4.0). The clinicians involved in writing of the discharge summaries were not informed about the study’s purpose or methodology. The completed summaries were subsequently assessed by four attending physicians using predefined criteria. These physicians were also blinded to the study’s objectives and were unaware of the individual authors of the summaries. The evaluation criteria included consistency, completeness, and comprehensibility. Additionally, the time required to prepare these summaries and its impact on overall quality were analyzed.ResultsThe results of the study indicate that discharge summaries generated by AI are more efficient than discharge summaries prepared by clinic staff. The AI was particularly effective in terms of coherence and information structure.ConclusionFurther research, training and development is needed to improve the accuracy and reliability of AI-generated discharge summaries.","PeriodicalId":22510,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Psychiatry in Medicine","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142262532","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 analysis examined the association between adherence to antihypertensive and BD medications and clinical symptoms in patients with BD and comorbid hypertension (HTN) from an ongoing trial to optimize adherence.MethodInclusion criteria were a BD diagnosis, treatment with antihypertensives, adherence challenges, and poorly controlled HTN. Adherence was measured via self-report using the Tablets Routine Questionnaire and using eCAP, an electronic pillcap which captures openings. Average systolic blood pressure (SBP) was calculated from 12 readings over 1 week. The Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) and the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) assessed BD symptoms.ResultsA total of 83 participants with BD and HTN were included. Adherence to BD and antihypertensive medications were positively correlated. eCAP openings showed more missed doses than self-reported antihypertensive adherence. BD medication adherence was positively correlated with BPRS at baseline; antihypertensive adherence was negatively correlated with SBP at screening. Antihypertensive adherence improved and SBP decreased between screening and baseline.ConclusionsAdherence levels fluctuated over time and differed based on measurement method in people with comorbid BD and HTN. Self-reported BD adherence was positively related to global psychiatric symptoms and antihypertensive adherence was related to better SBP control. Monitoring both medication and blood pressure led to change in self-reported adherence. BD symptom severity may indicate poor adherence in patients with BD and should be considered in treatment planning.","PeriodicalId":22510,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Psychiatry in Medicine","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142262533","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}

Individual, familial and illness factors may prolong DUP. Little data on this issue is available from the country of Nepal. The purpose of the present study was to assess DUP in patients with first-episode psychosis and identify associations with patients’ socio-demographic and clinical factors.MethodsA cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted in the department of psychiatry, of Tertiary Hospital in the Eastern part of Nepal. Eighty-six patients were enrolled. ICD-10 was used to make the diagnosis. Nottingham Onset Schedule-DUP version (NOS-DUP) was used to assess DUP. Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) was used to assess patients’ clinical symptoms.ResultsThe mean (SD) DUP was 21.4 (42.1) months and median DUP was 3.0 months (IQR = 23.5). Participants from mountainous region, the unemployed, having an insidious onset of illness, and patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia had significantly longer DUP ( P < .005). Duration of untreated psychosis was also positively correlated with negative symptoms (r = .42, ( P < .001) and total PANSS score (r = .42, P < .001).ConclusionDuration of untreated psychosis in first-episode psychotic patients was relatively long (compared to studies in other countries), and was found to be positively associated with mountainous regions of Nepal, being unemployed, having an insidious onset of illness, and having a diagnosis of schizophrenia. Programs and educational efforts are needed to ensure early treatment of patients with first-episode psychosis, especially in the mountainous rural areas of Nepal.","PeriodicalId":22510,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Psychiatry in Medicine","volume":"95 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140591834","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}

The Beck Depression Scale (BDS), Beck Anxiety Scale (BAS), Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS), and Suicide Probability Scale (SPS) were administered to participants. Results: The mean age of patients’ relatives was 42.1 ± 11.6 years and that of the controls was 43.0 ± 11.3 years. The median scores for the BDS, BHS, and SPS were significantly higher among the relatives of the patients than among controls ( P = .008, P = .013, and P = .001, respectively). Based on cutoff scores for the BDS and BAS, depression was observed in 56.3% of the relatives of the patients and anxiety disorder was observed in 46.9%. In the group comprising patients’ relatives, the median score for the BDS was significantly higher among female participants than among male participants ( P = .038).ConclusionsFirst-degree relatives of patients hospitalised in intensive care units have a higher prevalence of depression, hopelessness, and suicidality. Female relatives are more depressed than male. Ensuring psychiatric evaluation of the relatives of patients hospitalised in intensive care units in Türkiye is important.","PeriodicalId":22510,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Psychiatry in Medicine","volume":"298 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140591623","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}
