Purpose Of Review: People with mental disorders in Poland have increased standardized mortality ratios (SMRs). This is the first study to assess all-cause mortality in people with mental disorders in Poland during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Recent Findings: A nationwide, register-based cohort study utilizing data from the registry of healthcare services (2011-2020) and the all-cause death registry (2021) in Poland was conducted.
Work Ability and Quality of Life in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Int J Environ Res Public Health
October 2022
Background: Reduced work participation has social implications (sickness absence, economic impact) and consequences for the individual patient (impoverishment, depression, limited social interaction). As patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are more likely to experience job loss and/or at-work productivity loss and are at higher risk of sickness absence and, ultimately, permanent work productivity, consideration should be given to the association between work productivity or partial work capacity and quality of life (QoL). The aim of the study was to assess the relationship between QoL and the risk of work disability, as well as to estimate the risk of a future event and identify factors affecting the risk of work disability in RA inpatients.

- - The study looked at 86 children on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to find out how common seizures are, what factors increase the risk, and the prevalence of brain injury, discovering that about 22% experienced electrographic seizures.
- - It found that most seizures (16 out of 19) occurred within the first 48 hours of monitoring, and those with seizures had a significantly higher occurrence of interictal epileptiform discharges and elevated lactate levels, indicating a greater risk.
- - Additionally, children who had seizures were more likely to show evidence of intracranial hemorrhage in neuroimaging, suggesting a connection between seizures and brain injuries in ECMO patients.
Background: The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, version 5 (DSM-5) definition of agoraphobia (AG) as an independent diagnostic entity makes it timely to re-examine the epidemiology of AG. Study objective was to present representative data on the characteristics of individuals who meet DSM-IV criteria for AG (AG without a history of panic disorder [PD] and PD with AG) but not DSM-5 criteria, DSM-5 but not DSM-IV criteria, or both sets of criteria.
Methods: Population-based surveys from the World Mental Health Survey Initiative including adult respondents (n = 136,357) from 27 countries across the world.
