Mortality in people with mental disorders in Poland during the COVID-19 pandemic: a nationwide, register-based cohort study.

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.

The European psychiatric association (EPA) - early career psychiatrists committee survey on trainees' and early-career psychiatrists' attitudes towards therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) use and utility during antipsychotic treatment.

Objectives: This survey assessed psychiatry residents'/early-career psychiatrists' attitudes towards the utility of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of antipsychotics.

Methods: A previously developed questionnaire on attitudes on TDM utility during antipsychotic treatment was cross-sectionally disseminated by national coordinators between 01/01/2022-31/12/2023. The frequency of using TDM for antipsychotics other than clozapine was the main outcome in a linear regression analysis, including sex, clinical setting, caseload, and factors generated by an exploratory factor analysis.
