Examining PTSD Prevalence Among Underserved Populations in the Integrated Community Mental Health Setting 2019 to 2022.

Background: The prevalence of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) has been rising since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and affects females, sexual and gender minorities, and individuals with social risks at higher rates.

Objective: This study examines if the prevalence of PTSD increased from 2019 to 2022 among patients who received care in a national network of safety-net, community-based health centers with integrated behavioral health programs that serve patients at high risk for PTSD.

Methods: We analyzed electronic health record data from patients with 1 or more behavioral health visits during 2019 to 2022 using repeated cross-sectional data to visualize trends.

Research report: Management of dysphagia using pharyngeal electrical stimulation in the general intensive care population - A service development.

Background: Dysphagia places a substantial burden on the critically ill, affecting 12%-84% of this cohort, and is independently associated with worse outcomes. Pharyngeal electrical stimulation (PES-treatment) is a novel dysphagia therapy with an emerging evidence base. This retrospective observational study describes our dysphagia service and reports the use of PES-treatment as a standard of care in recovering critically ill patients at a single-site tertiary UK hospital.
