Association between pulse width and health-related quality of life after electroconvulsive therapy in patients with unipolar or bipolar depression: an observational register-based study
CONCLUSION: No robust associations were observed between pulse width and HRQoL after ECT. On average, significant improvements in HRQoL were observed one week and six months after ECT for patients with unipolar or bipolar disease, independent of the pulse width received.PMID:38079191 | DOI:10.1080/08039488.2023.2289915 (Source: Nordic Journal of Psychiatry)

Seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in a prospective cohort of patients admitted to an acute psychiatric ward in Norway during the initial months of the COVID-19 pandemic
CONCLUSION: The prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in a sample of patients acutely admitted to the Psychiatric Clinic, Haukeland University Hospital, was comparable to reported cases in the general population. A possible link to governmental and municipal restrictions, general low workplace participation and cohabitation is discussed.PMID:38038146 | DOI:10.1080/08039488.2023.2276220 (Source: Nordic Journal of Psychiatry)
