Article Synopsis
- Long-acting injectable antipsychotics (LAIAs) are believed to improve clinical outcomes for adults with psychiatric disorders, but research on their effectiveness in children is limited.
- This study evaluated pediatric patients under 18 who started LAIAs during an acute psychiatric hospitalization, comparing their psychiatric admissions and emergency service visits one year before and one year after starting treatment.
- Results showed a decrease in psychiatric admissions (from 47 to 38), psychiatric emergency service visits (from 24 to 16), and total days hospitalized (from 1040 to 774), suggesting that LAIAs may also have positive effects in pediatric patients.
Long-Acting Injectable Antipsychotic Initiation in Child and Adolescent Patients with Psychiatric Disorders.
J Child Adolesc Psychopharmacol
August 2024
There are currently no long-acting injectable antipsychotics (LAIAs) that are approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in child and adolescent patients, however these agents are used off-label for the treatment of various psychiatric disorders. This study aims to describe the initiation and maintenance dosing strategies of LAIAs in child and adolescent psychiatry inpatients. This was a single-site retrospective chart review of patients less than 18 years of age initiated on an LAIA during an acute psychiatric hospitalization between October 1, 2015, and October 31, 2022.

- - The study aimed to identify clinical and imaging indicators that predict malperfusion syndrome following blunt thoracic aortic injury (BTAI), as this is a poorly understood condition.
- - Researchers analyzed data from 19,203 trauma patients treated between January 2021 and October 2023, focusing on those with BTAI and correlating their clinical and imaging findings with outcomes post-thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR).
- - Results indicated that patients showing signs of traumatic thoracic aortic coarctation (TTAC) were more likely to experience malperfusion issues if there was a delay in TEVAR, suggesting that urgent repair is crucial for those with TTAC.
Introduction: Due to the high morbidity associated with esophagectomies, patients are often directly admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) for postoperative monitoring. However, critical complications can arise after this initial ICU stay. We hypothesized that the timing of ICU stay was not optimal for the care of patients after esophagectomy and aimed to determine when patients are at risk for developing critical complications.
