Article Synopsis
- Catatonia is a neuropsychiatric disorder that can be hard to diagnose, affecting motor, cognitive, and emotional functions.
- A study created the Catatonia Quick Screen (CQS) to simplify the screening process using a focused set of signs from existing screening instruments.
- The CQS showed a high sensitivity of 97% for detecting catatonia in both adults and children by identifying any one of four key signs, suggesting it could improve early diagnosis in clinical settings.

This study investigates patients of all ages diagnosed with catatonia during acute care hospitalizations in the United States over a 5-year period.
Method: The National Inpatient Sample, an all-payors database of acute care hospital discharges, was queried for patients with a discharge diagnosis of catatonia between 2016 and 2020 with patients stratified by age as pediatric (≤18 years) or adult (>18 years).
