Retrospective study of hepatitis C screening and seroprevalence in the GHU Paris.

Objectives: The prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) has been estimated to be approximately ten times higher in patients with psychiatric disorders, but European data are rare and only two French studies have recently been published on the subject. Our objective was to determine the HCV screening rate and the prevalence of HCV in adult patients hospitalised in the largest French psychiatric hospital.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of all adult patients hospitalised at GHU Paris, from 2019 to 2022, including age, gender, HCV screening, HCV serological status, and the existence of an ICD-10 diagnosis of psychoactive substance use disorder.

Impact of HCV cure on subsequent hospitalizations in people with mental disorders: Results from the French claims database.

Background And Aims: Although HCV cure after direct-acting antiviral (DAA) treatment is associated with hepatic and extrahepatic benefits, few studies have assessed the impact of HCV treatment in people with mental disorders (PWMDs). Using quasi-exhaustive national data from the French administrative health care databases (SNDS), we explored whether DAA treatment in PWMDs affected hospitalizations in both psychiatric and non-psychiatric settings.

Methods: All adult PWMDs identified in the SNDS with DAA treatment initiation between 2015 and 2018 and 12 months of data pre- and post-treatment were included.

[Common physical health problems in psychiatry].

COMMON PHYSICAL HEALTH PROBLEMS IN PSYCHIATRY. Somatic psychiatric care is particularly important as life expectancy declines of 13 to 16 years among individuals with severe mental disorders, primaly due to cardiovascular and cancer-related diseases. They face a triple burden: their mental disorders, reduced life expectancy and limited healthcare access.

Constipation in hospitalized psychiatric patients: An underestimated common phenomenon. Retrospective epidemiological study in an adult psychiatric hospital setting.

Objective: Constipation is more common in patients with mental disorders than in the general population. However, its frequency in hospitalized patients, its association with drugs and how teams become aware of it and take care of it are not fully identified.

Method: The retrospective study included 141 male and 127 female new patients admitted for routine treatment at France's largest psychiatric hospital between November 15 and December 11, 2017.
