Trend of emergency department presentations with a mental health diagnosis in Australia by diagnostic group, 2004-05 to 2016-17.

Objective: To examine trends of ED presentations with a mental health (MH) diagnosis in Australia and its jurisdictions by diagnostic group between 2004-05 and 2016-17.

Methods: Data comprised ED presentations with a principal diagnosis of ICD-10-AM F00-F99 (MH ) captured within the National Non-Admitted Patient Emergency Department Care Database. Trends in absolute number and rates of MH presentations per 10 000 population were assessed as differences (x-fold) and annual growth rates (average and compound).

Emergency department presentations with a mental health diagnosis in Australia, by jurisdiction and by sex, 2004-05 to 2016-17.

Objectives: To examine trends in ED presentations with a mental health diagnosis (MH ) in Australia by jurisdiction and by sex, between 2004-05 and 2016-17.

Methods: Data were captured in the National Non-Admitted Patient Emergency Department Care Database. Outcomes were the proportion of ED presentations with a principal diagnosis of ICD-10-AM F00-F99 (MH ), and the rate of all ED and MH presentations per 10 000 population.

An immersive orientation programme to improve medical student integration and well-being.

Background: Multiple common challenges exist for medical students transitioning to regional clinical placements, including a relative paucity of well-being skills required for the promotion of work-life integration. Beginning Education at Central Coast Hospitals (BEACCHES) is an immersive orientation programme aimed at negotiating this transition and promoting student well-being through improved social connectedness. The programme was evaluated with the objectives of understanding the most highly valued and effective components.

Trends of emergency department presentations with a mental health diagnosis by age, Australia, 2004-05 to 2016-17: A secondary data analysis.

Objectives: The present study aims to explore for Australia: (i) the trends of ED presentations with a mental health (MH) diagnosis by age group; and (ii) whether those trends differ from all ED presentations.

Methods: ED presentations to Australian public hospitals, 2004-05 to 2016-17 were captured in the National Non-Admitted Patient Emergency Department Care Database. We assessed total change and annual rate of change in the number and rates of presentations per 10 000 population for all presentations and those with a MH principal diagnosis (ICD-10-AM F00 to F99, MH ).

Disorders of sex development: insights from targeted gene sequencing of a large international patient cohort.

Background: Disorders of sex development (DSD) are congenital conditions in which chromosomal, gonadal, or phenotypic sex is atypical. Clinical management of DSD is often difficult and currently only 13% of patients receive an accurate clinical genetic diagnosis. To address this we have developed a massively parallel sequencing targeted DSD gene panel which allows us to sequence all 64 known diagnostic DSD genes and candidate genes simultaneously.
