Objective: Our study aims to examine the risk factors for comorbid psychosis in pediatric patients hospitalized for anti-N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis and its impact on hospital outcomes.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study using the nationwide inpatient sample (NIS 2018-2019). We included 3,405 pediatric inpatients (age 6-17 years) with a primary discharge diagnosis of anti-NMDAR encephalitis.
Objective: This study aimed to explore the relationship between vitamin D deficiency and comorbid heart disease in adult inpatients with mood disorders (depressive and bipolar disorders).
Methods: A cross-sectional investigation was carried out employing the nationwide inpatient dataset, which encompassed 910,561 adult inpatients aged 18 to 50 years diagnosed with depressive and bipolar disorders. Additionally, the sample was categorized based on the presence of comorbid heart disease.
Nearly 90% of Americans are exposed to a traumatic event at some point in their lives, and over 8% of those individuals will develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Our study examined the demographic differences and psychiatric comorbidities in inpatients with PTSD with and without somatic symptom disorders (SSDs), using data from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample for 2018 and 2019. Our sample included 12,760 adult patients with a primary diagnosis of PTSD, which was further subdivided based on a codiagnosis of SSD.

Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS), included 56,844 PD inpatients (age ≥40 years), and subdivided them by inpatients into those without psychiatric comorbidities (N = 38,629) and with psychiatric comorbidities (N = 18,471). We compared the distributions of demographic characteristics and hospitalization outcomes (severity of illness, utilization ofDBS, and disposition) by performing Pearson's chi-square test, and we measured the differences in continuous variables (i.

Methodology We conducted a case-control study using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample and included 4,920 pediatric inpatients between the ages of six and 18 years who were sub-grouped by a comorbid diagnosis of HIV (N = 2,595) and non-HIV (N = 2,325) and matched for demographics (age, sex, and race) by propensity case-control matching. Logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the adjusted odds ratio (aOR) of association for psychiatric comorbidities (depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, psychosis, and drug abuse) in the HIV-positive compared with the HIV-negative (as reference category) pediatric inpatients.

Methodology We conducted a cross-sectional study using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample of 184,711 POD inpatients. A binomial logistic regression model was used to evaluate the odds ratio (OR) of association for mortality risk due to comorbidities (substance use disorders (SUD) and medical complications) in POD inpatients.

Methodology We conducted a cross-sectional study using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample of 50,444,133 patients. We then subgrouped them into PUD and non-PUD cohorts.
