Objective: This study explored the incidence and stability of schizophrenia in a large national register data of all adolescents first admitted to psychiatric inpatient care at ages 13-17 in Finland 1980-2010.
Methods: The study population (N 17,112) comprised all Finnish citizens aged 13-17 receiving their first ever psychiatric inpatient treatment between 1980 and 2010 in Finland. To explore incidence and stability of schizophrenia, the diagnostic information on inpatient care or disability pension was obtained from the appropriate registers.
Results: The incidence of schizophrenia disorders (F20 + F25) during adolescence was higher in the study population for those admitted to psychiatric inpatient care 1980-1989 than in other decades examined. Overall, psychiatric inpatient care during adolescence was a risk factor for subsequent schizophrenia, especially if a diagnosis of F20-29 was set although a considerable share of those with psychotic disorders other than schizophrenia diagnosis did not subsequently convert to schizophrenia. The stability of adolescent onset schizophrenia diagnosis was high.
Conclusion: Adolescents requiring psychiatric inpatient care have a higher later rate of schizophrenia diagnosis than prevalence at community level. Whereas adolescent onset schizophrenia diagnosis is a fairly stable diagnosis, there are other adolescent psychotic disorders which are more transient in nature.

Background: Working in inpatient mental health settings is often characterised by highly emotive work and staff shortages. Despite the suggested benefits of reflective practice groups on staff well-being and clinical practice across healthcare settings, to date, there have been limited empirical studies on reflective practice groups in inpatient mental health settings, especially on group engagement and improvement.
Methods: We interviewed fifteen participants, including both facilitators and attendees of reflective practice groups.

Background: Adherence to treatment guidelines for agitation in dementia is suboptimal and inconsistent. We designed an Integrated Care Pathway (ICP) that standardized behavioral and pharmacological interventions for agitation in dementia, and evaluated it against treatment-as-usual (TAU). The two primary hypotheses were that, compared to TAU, the ICP would result in (1) lower agitation and (2) lower rates of polypharmacy at study end.

Aim: To describe which social media behaviors of psychiatric patients were rightfully restricted by health care professionals and reveal underlying reasons.
Method: We searched for law cases of the courts of first instance and decisions of boards on patients’ complaints from implementation of the new act (2020-2023) about patients’ behaviors related to social media in two open source databases.

Objective: To evaluate the completeness and quality of Medicaid comprehensive managed care (CMC) data in national MAX/TAF research files.
Study Setting And Design: This observational study compared CMC with fee-for-service (FFS) enrollee data in 2001-2019 Medicaid MAX/TAF inpatient, outpatient, and pharmacy files. Completeness was assessed as the proportion of enrollees with any claim and mean claims per enrollee with any claim.
