- Abstract
Objectives: The prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) has been estimated to be approximately ten times higher in patients with psychiatric disorders, but European data are rare and only two French studies have recently been published on the subject. Our objective was to determine the HCV screening rate and the prevalence of HCV in adult patients hospitalised in the largest French psychiatric hospital., Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of all adult patients hospitalised at GHU Paris, from 2019 to 2022, including age, gender, HCV screening, HCV serological status, and the existence of an ICD-10 diagnosis of psychoactive substance use disorder. Descriptive statistics used means±standard deviations and percentages. Bivariable comparisons used Student's t test and Chi-square test., Results: The overall HCV screening rate was 55.4% and increased over the four years from 37.1% in 2019 to 69.4% in 2022. Patients screened were significantly younger people and with a substance use disorder than unscreened patients. The prevalence of HCV over this 4-year period was 2.8% and remained stable. The HCV-positive patients were significantly more male, older and more likely to have substance use disorders than the HCV-negative patients., Conclusions: We found a prevalence rate of HCV ten times higher than the prevalence in the general population, in line with findings in many other European countries. The eradication of HCV will not be possible without the elimination of this "forgotten reservoir" of the virus. Efforts must be made in psychiatric hospitals to test all patients in order to treat patients suffering from hepatitis C with direct-acting antivirals., (Copyright © 2024 L'Encéphale, Paris.

- Abstract
Detecting patients with a high-risk profile for treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS) can be beneficial for implementing individually adapted therapeutic strategies and better understanding the TRS etiology. The aim of this study was to explore, with machine learning methods, the impact of demographic and clinical patient characteristics on TRS prediction, for already established risk factors and unexplored ones. This was a retrospective study of 500 patients admitted during 2020 to the University Hospital Group for Paris Psychiatry. We hypothesized potential TRS risk factors. The selected features were coded into structured variables in a new dataset, by processing patients discharge summaries and medical narratives with natural-language processing methods. We compared three machine learning models (XGBoost, logistic elastic net regression, logistic regression without regularization) for predicting TRS outcome. We analysed feature impact on the models, suggesting the following factors as markers of a high-risk TRS profile: early age at first contact with psychiatry, antipsychotic treatment interruptions due to non-adherence, absence of positive symptoms at baseline, educational problems and adolescence mental disorders in the personal psychiatric history. Specifically, we found a significant association with TRS outcome for age at first contact with psychiatry and medication non-adherence. Our findings on TRS risk factors are consistent with the review of the literature and suggest potential in using early pathophysiologic features for TRS prediction. Results were encouraging with the use of natural-langage processing techniques to leverage raw data provided by discharge summaries, combined with machine leaning models. These findings are a promising step for helping clinicians adapt their guidelines to early detection of TRS., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest None declared., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier B.V.

- Abstract
Background: In the last decades, there has been a documented increase in the proportion of migrants among homeless people in Europe. While homelessness is associated with psychosis, little is known about the factors associated with psychosis among migrants in this context., Methods: Our study analyzed data collected in the SAMENTA cross-sectional survey conducted among 859 adult French-speaking homeless people living in the Greater Paris area. We analyzed the prevalence of psychosis and psychotic-like experiences (PLE) and associated factors by migrant status, using bivariate analysis and multivariable logistic regression models., Results: Our sample comprised 280 natives and 559 migrants in France. Psychosis was significantly more prevalent among natives (21.6 %) than among migrants (7.5 %) ( p = 0.003). The total prevalence of PLE was 30.8% (95 % CI: 24.3 - 38.2), and not statistically different between groups ( p = 0.215) or sex ( p = 0.528). Adverse events over the past year were associated with the increased odds of psychosis in both groups and with PLE among migrants. Sexual abuse during childhood was associated with both outcomes among natives. Among migrants, exposure to war or life-threatening events increased the odds of psychosis and PLE. Increased odds of psychosis were found among migrants who had been living in France for more than 10 years (OR = 3.34, 95 % CI: 1.41-7.93, p = 0.007)., Conclusion: Differences were found in the factors associated with the psychosis continuum by migrant status, they highlight the impact of experiences related to migration. Prospective studies are needed to better understand these underlying pathways., Competing Interests: The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (© 2024 The Authors.

- Abstract
Psychiatric disorders are common and can cause psychological disabilities. While the creation of day hospitals (DHs) was intended to direct psychiatric care towards community settings, they may have paradoxically contributed to a form of chronicity. Furthermore, the heterogeneity and lack of evaluation of care within DHs prevent the availability needed to collect objective data on users outcomes. In this article, we aim to describe and measure the effects of a transformation of practice within a sector-based DH initially focused on traditional institutional psychiatry towards a rehabilitation model of care which offers different therapeutic tools, structured in three stages, and whose main objective is professional integration. This retrospective mirror study compares, before and after the transformation of this DH, several indicators including the rate of professional integration and its maintenance after two years. We found that this psychosocial rehabilitation model for care allowed a very clear increase in the professional integration rate and its maintenance at two years while reducing the length of stay to around 18 months. These promising results therefore highlight the pivotal role of DHs as "stepping stones" in addressing psychological disabilities towards recovery., (Copyright © 2024 L'Encéphale, Paris.

- Abstract
Introduction: Seclusion or restraint (S/R) are last-resort measures used in psychiatry to ensure the safety of the patient and the staff. However, they have harmful physical and psychological effects on patients, and efforts to limit their use are needed. We describe the characteristics and correlates of S/R events in four Parisian psychiatric centers., Methods: Within a 3-month period, November 5, 2018 to February 3, 2019, we recorded data for patients experiencing an S/R measure as well as characteristics of the measures. We studied the mean duration of a S/R event, the time between hospital admission and the occurrence of the event, as well as correlates of these durations. We also examined factors associated with use of a restraint versus a seclusion measure., Results: For the 233 patients included, we recorded 217 seclusion measures and 64 mechanical restraints. Seclusion measures mostly occurred after the patient's transfer from the emergency department. The duration of a seclusion measure was about 10 days. Patients considered resistant to psychotropic treatments more frequently had a longer seclusion duration than others. The mean duration of a mechanical restraint measure was 4 days. Male sex and younger age were associated with experiencing mechanical restraint., Discussion: S/R measures mostly occur among patients perceived as resistant to psychotropic drugs who are arriving from the emergency department. Developing specific emergency department protocols might be useful in limiting the use of coercive measures., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2024 Dauriac-Le Masson, El-Khoury Lesueur, Lahaye, Launay, Christodoulou, Boiteux, Maman, Bonnemaison, Perquier and Vacheron.)

- Abstract
Objective: Constipation is more common in patients with mental disorders than in the general population. However, its frequency in hospitalized patients, its association with drugs and how teams become aware of it and take care of it are not fully identified., Method: The retrospective study included 141 male and 127 female new patients admitted for routine treatment at France's largest psychiatric hospital between November 15 and December 11, 2017. A physician reviewed electronic medical records to diagnose constipation and record variables of interest: socio-demographic factors, diagnosis, drugs prescribed and taken. We calculated an anticholinergic impregnation score (AIS) for each patient by using a validated French scale. Patients were then classified into two groups by state of constipation defined by the physician. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to study the frequency of constipation, factors associated with it and its management., Results: The prevalence of constipation was 38% (95% CI 32-44). Associated factors were taking antipsychotics and the burden of anticholinergic treatment. On multiple regression analysis, the only remaining factor was anticholinergic treatment: AIS≥5 was associated with constipation (odds ratio 1.80 [95% CI 1.07-3.14], P=0.027). Only 44.0% of patients were prescribed a preventive laxative, systematically in half of the cases. Above all, only 11.2% were administered this laxative (i.e., 25% of that prescribed). Digestive transit was poorly recorded in the table of constants (34.7%). We found one case of sub-occlusion as a severe case., Conclusion: Constipation is common in psychiatric inpatients. The more the patient is prescribed drugs with a pronounced anticholinergic effect, the greater the risk. Alongside the preventive measures common to all psychiatric patients which must be promoted (concerning diet, physical activity, etc.), polymedication with this type of anticholinergic must be better monitored to prevent complications: prescription and administration of a preventive laxative, monitoring transit in the table of constants. Thus, a better knowledge of the subject and specific training are essential., (Copyright © 2023 L'Encéphale, Paris. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.)

- Abstract
Objectives: Chronic pain has a substantial negative impact on work-related outcomes, which underlines the importance of interventions to reduce the burden. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) efficiently relieves pain in specific chronic pain syndromes and is recommended for treating failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) or post-surgical chronic back pain that is refractory to other treatments. To examine the impact of SCS in patients with FBSS on the return to work (RTW), we determined the RTW rate and the factors positively associated with the RTW., Materials and Methods: Among 106 patients with FBSS who benefitted from SCS at a single institution in France between September 1999 and March 2010, we retrospectively included 59 who had stopped work at the time of SCS because of disability or sick leave and evaluated the RTW (rate and predictors, estimating odds ratios [ORs] and 95% confidence intervals [CIs])., Results: The mean (SD) post-surgery follow-up for the 59 patients (34 men; mean [SD] age 46.9 [7.4] years) was 7.5 (3.6) years (range 5-15). The RTW rate was 30.5%, with a median [IQR] recovery time of 5.5 months [3-8.5]. RTW was improved with functional improvement evolution (OR 1.1, 95% CI [1.01-1.1], p = 0.02) and was reduced with unemployment > 3 years (OR 0.1, 95% CI [0.01-0.7], p = 0.02)., Conclusions: Our protocol for SCS for patients with FBSS, including a strict selection of patients and a multidisciplinary approach, led to good results, especially for the RTW. RTW should be a therapeutic goal, directly affecting indirect costs related to FBSS., (© 2023 World Institute of Pain.)

- Abstract
Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictive measures taken to prevent its propagation had profound effects on mental health and well-being, especially in children and young adults (<25 years old). This study aimed to analyse the medium and long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the use of the mental health services, by age groups and gender., Design: We conducted a retrospective study using the medical and administrative information system databases of patients, between 2019 and 2021., Setting: This study was conducted in the Groupe Hospitalier Universitaire Paris Psychiatry and Neurosciences., Outcome Measures: We reported three indicators: the number of new patients attending outpatient clinics, the number of emergency department (ED) visits and the number of hospital admissions., Methods: We considered the weekly number of each indicator, by age groups and by gender. We also collected the reasons of ED visits and hospital admissions. The 2020 and 2021 data were compared with the same period in 2019. The evolution of the indicators over the 3 years was analysed with interrupted time-series analysis., Results: All three indicators showed a dramatic decrease during the first lockdown period (March 2020) especially for the youngest. In 2021, the activity resumed but without reaching its prepandemic level. Moreover, mental healthcare seeking was significantly lower since the beginning of the pandemic compared with the prepandemic period for all age groups, except for young women (<25 years old). Among them, there was a higher level of mental health services use in 2021, compared with 2019: +20% of new patients at the outpatient clinics, +39% of ED visits and+17% of hospital admissions., Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic has had severe consequences on populations' mental health, especially among young women, which seem to persist months after the end of restrictive measures., Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared., (© Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2023.

- Abstract
Objectives: We assessed the prevalence of severe cardiovascular (CV) disease requiring hospitalization among patients with schizophrenia in France., Method: We included patients hospitalized with schizophrenia or psychotic disorder during 2015, in five French psychiatric hospitals. Patients with CV disease were defined as those with a correspondent ICD-10 code during a hospital stay in any general hospital, five years before or three years after the psychiatric hospitalization. CV disease included myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, heart failure (HF), coronary artery disease (CAD) or peripheral artery disease. Risk factors such as hypertension, obesity and diabetes were recorded., Results: In total, 4424 patients with schizophrenia were included. Overall, 203 (4,6%) patients were diagnosed with CV disease, 93 (2.1%) with CAD, 86 (1.9%) with HF and 49 (1.1%) with stroke. The prevalence of hypertension, obesity and diabetes was 11.3%, 9.7% and 7.8%. The median (interquartile range) age of patients with MI and diabetes was 57 (49-70) and 56 (48-66) years., Conclusion: Patients with schizophrenia develop severe CV disease requiring hospitalization at an early age. These severe events are associated with a high prevalence of risk factors. Early screening and treatment of CV disease and risk factors is important to improve life expectancy and quality of life of these patients., (Copyright © 2021 L’Encéphale, Paris.

- Abstract
The healthcare utilization of homeless people is generally considered insufficient, and studies often suffer from methodological bias (institutionalized vs. street samples). To adapt public health policies in France, epidemiological data on this population are scarce. The objective of this study was to analyze the use of psychiatric care by homeless people with mental health problems in the Greater Paris area and to define the factors influencing this use. The data were from the SAMENTA survey performed in 2009 with a representative random street sample of 859 homeless people from the Greater Paris area. The survey studied the use of psychiatric care (lifelong use, current follow-up, discontinuation of follow-up and treatment) and factors potentially associated with this use for people with a diagnosis of a psychotic, mood or anxiety disorder, with the diagnosis established with an original survey device. Because of our complex sampling design, we describe data for only a weighted estimated prevalence, weighted estimation of the number of people in the population (N) and unweighted total subgroup studied in the survey ( n ). Among 840 homeless people with useable data, 377 (N = 9762) had a psychiatric disorder. The use of whole-life care for these people may seem high, estimated at 68.7%, but few people were followed up for their disorders (18.2%); individuals with a psychotic disorder were more frequently followed up (36.5%) than others were ( p < 0.05). Among those followed up ( n = 86, N = 1760), 63.0% were taking medication. Access to care for these people seemed preserved, but the maintenance of care seemed problematic; indeed, among people with a lifelong whole use of care ( n = 232, N = 6705), 72.3% could be considered to have discontinued care. The factors that improved lifetime health service utilization or follow-up were socio-demographic (age < 42 years, more educated), social (with social security coverage, not living in a hotel), and medical (psychotic disorder, personality disorder, suicide risk, somatic chronic illness, perception of mental suffering). Improving the care of homeless people with psychiatric disorders requires improving access to care for those isolated from the health system (in particular those living in hotels) and to guarantee continuity of care, by adapting the organization of the care system and promoting social rehabilitation.

- Abstract
Background: The French mental health law, first enacted on July 5, 2011, introduced the possibility of psychiatric commitment in case of extreme urgency (imminent peril - ASPPI). The decision of involuntary admission can then be made by the hospital director based on a medical certificate, without the need of a third party request. This procedure was intended to be applied on an exceptional basis, but its use is steadily increasing against the other types of involuntary care. Our study aimed at comparing the characteristics of patients who had received an indication for involuntary admission due to imminent peril (ASPPI) or at the request of a third party (ASPDT/u) in a psychiatric emergency ward, according to sociodemographic and clinical characteristics and regarding the potential implication of a third party., Methods: An observational study was conducted among patients from the Centre Psychiatrique d'Orientation et d'Accueil (CPOA), located at Sainte-Anne hospital in Paris, from August 1st to 31st, 2016., Results: One hundred and fifty patients with an indication for involuntary commitment were included, 101 of whom for ASPDT/u (67 %) and 49 for ASPPI (33 %). For more than half of the patients from the ASPPI group, a third party had been identified with (39 %) or without (17 %) contact information. Compared to ASPDT/u patients, ASPPI individuals were more socially vulnerable, showed more negligence, and had a lower mean functioning score. The indication for ASPPI status was also associated with behavioural quirks, prior psychiatric hospitalization (especially as an ASPPI patient) and with the diagnosis of chronic psychosis instead of mood disorder., Conclusion: Our exploratory results help to better understand how the ASPPI procedure is used in psychiatric emergency wards six years after enactment of the law. They highlight the differences between ASPPI patients and ASPDT/u and raise ethical issues regarding involuntary psychiatric care., (Copyright © 2019 L'Encéphale, Paris.

- Abstract
The paper describes an action research for indicative assessment of psychological problems of young children following the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, and the interest of using the Creole version of the questionnaire PSYCa 3-6. The survey took place in Port-au-Prince, and the evaluators were trained to a proper standardized administration of the questionnaire., Background: The mental health needs of young children in natural disaster contexts often remain unaddressed. The lack of a rapid and simple tool for screening combined with few mental health professionals available to accurately diagnose and provide appropriate care mean that young children remain without care. Here, we present the results of psychological screening of young children aged 3 to 6 using the questionnaire PSYCa 3-6., Methods: This study was conducted in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The scale was translated into Haitian Creole using corroboration of independent translations and submitted twice to the parents at home, at the end of 2011 and again at the beginning of 2013. At the first stage 166 children 3 to 6 years old were included 49 of whom were included at the second stage. The results and diagnostic properties were assessed comparing the PSYCa 3-6 to the Clinical Global Impression Severity Scale as the gold standard., Results: Boys were more prone to psychological disturbances than girls. The size and position among the siblings increased the score of psychological disturbance. The neighborhood and the perception of environmental violence had a significant impact on the score of psychological disturbance. The significant improvement in scores between the two examinations showed moderate resiliency whose main factors seemed to be the social support received by the family, the rapid return to school, faith and religious practice., (Copyright © 2016 L'Encéphale, Paris.

- Abstract
Background: In 2005, in its recommendations on the modalities of decision making for compulsory hospitalization, the French Health High Authority (HAS) had already stressed the need for rapid implementation of studies and epidemiological analyses on the subject to compensate the lack of adequate data in France. The new French law of July 5, 2011, on the rights and protection of persons under psychiatric care, establishes a judicial review of decisions for compulsory hospitalization. Therefore, healthcare professionals need to better define and characterize the criteria for such decisions, especially in their relation to psychopathology. The concept of capacity to consent to treatment includes the ability to understand (to receive information about the disease), the ability to appreciate (to weigh the risks and benefits of treatment), the ability to reason (determining the best choice rationally) and the ability to freely express a decision. However, assessment tools of capacity to consent to treatment seem to fail to predict the modality of hospitalization., Objective: This study examined the impact of clinical and contextual characteristics on the decision in emergency services to admit patients to compulsory inpatient psychiatric units., Method: Data was collected from 442 successive patients admitted to hospital for care from five psychiatric emergency facilities in Paris and covered sociodemographic information, previous hospitalizations, recent course of care, clinical diagnosis, Global Assessment of Functioning scale (GAF) and Insight measured by the Q8 Bourgeois questionnaire. Patients were also assessed based on criteria established by the HAS for the severity of mental disorders and the necessity of emergency care., Results: Multivariable logistic regression shows that diagnosis does not affect the decision of hospitalization. Agitation, aggressiveness toward others, being married as well as being referred by a doctor or family are all factors that increase the risk of involuntary hospitalization. Last, low Q8 and GAF scores are strong predictors for compulsory admission., Conclusion: Our study shows a dimensional rather than categorical assessment of patients by clinicians. Assessment of insight is the main operational criterion used by clinicians in our study. This supports using insight and GAF evaluation in clinical practice to clarify assessment and decision-making in an emergency setting regarding compulsory hospitalization., (Copyright © 2013 L’Encéphale, Paris.

- Abstract
Since August 1st, 2011, all patients hospitalised without consent now have the right for their hospitalisation to be reviewed by the liberty and detention judge. The open court principle being made public raises questions regarding the confidentiality of medical records as well as the protection of the patient against any possible stigmatisation.

- Abstract
We report two patients presenting with a subacute right hemisphere stroke. These cases demonstrate a double dissociation between unilateral neglect and anosognosia for hemiplegia. The first patient suffered from a severe left hemiplegia associated with severe and persisting unilateral neglect. He appeared fully aware of his motor impairment. The second patient had a severe left hemiplegia, without any major sign of unilateral neglect on clinical tests nor on behavioural assessment. Nevertheless, he presented a severe and sustained anosognosia for hemiplegia. These case reports support the assumption that anosognosia and unilateral neglect, although they are frequently associated, may rely on independent mechanisms.
