The Danish legislation on restriction of liberty and other forms of compulsion in psychiatry was introduced on 1.10.1989. This legislation has involved an increased workload for psychiatric departments. A prospective investigation during a period of three months in an acute closed admission department in Frederiksberg Hospital revealed, as minimum figures, increased weekly working time for the caring staff of 28 1/2 hours, for doctors 6 1/4 hours and one hour for secretaries. In addition, the department registered an increased bed-day employment resulting from the new legislation. As the department has not received any new resources of note, this time must be taken from the time available for therapeutic work for all of the patients. Unless new resources are awarded to psychiatry, it is to be feared that the general psychiatric service will deteriorate.

Background: Chronic emotional distress among cardiac arrest (CA) survivors and their caregivers is prevalent and worsens quality of life and recovery. Interventions to prevent chronic distress post-CA are needed. We developed (RT-CA), an intervention to increase resiliency in CA survivor-caregiver dyads (pairs).

Exposure to repetitive head impacts (RHI), such as those experienced in American football, is linked to cognitive dysfunction later in life. Traumatic encephalopathy syndrome (TES) is a proposed clinical syndrome thought to be linked to neuropath-ology of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a condition associated with RHI from football. Cognitive intra-individual variability (d-CIIV) measures test-score dispersion, indicating cognitive dysfunction.

This editorial focuses on the issue of data misuse that is increasingly evidenced in social media as well as some premiere scientific journals. This issue is of critical importance to open science projects in general, and ABCD in particular, given the broad array of biological, behavioural and environmental information collected on this American sample of 12,000 youth and parents. ABCD data are already widely used with over 1,200 publications and twice as many citations per year as expected (relative citation index based on year, field and journal).

JMIR Med Inform
January 2025
School of Social Policy & Practice, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, United States.
Background: Prediction models have demonstrated a range of applications across medicine, including using electronic health record (EHR) data to identify hospital readmission and mortality risk. Large language models (LLMs) can transform unstructured EHR text into structured features, which can then be integrated into statistical prediction models, ensuring that the results are both clinically meaningful and interpretable.
Objective: This study aims to compare the classification decisions made by clinical experts with those generated by a state-of-the-art LLM, using terms extracted from a large EHR data set of individuals with mental health disorders seen in emergency departments (EDs).
