Neuropsychiatric symptoms of patients two years after experiencing severe COVID-19: A mixed observational study.

Background: The impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19) on mental health has not been extensively studied in the medium and long term. This study assessed how clinical, biological, and social factors affect mental health in patients who recovered from severe COVID-19. The evaluation was done 90 days after hospital discharge and followed up at 12 and 24 months.

Proxy measures for the assessment of psychotic and affective symptoms in studies using electronic health records.

Background: There is a lack of standardised psychometric data in electronic health record (EHR)-based research. Proxy measures of symptom severity based on patients' clinical records may be useful surrogates in mental health EHR research.

Aims: This study aimed to validate proxy tools for the short versions of the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS-6), Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS-6) and Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS-6).
