Clinical and sociodemographic characteristics of patients with epilepsy attended at a regional reference psychiatric emergency unit
Objective
Epilepsy is one of the most prevalent chronic neurological diseases, presenting a high frequency of psychiatric disorders (PD). This study sought to evaluate the clinical and sociodemographic profile of patients with epilepsy (PWE) attended at a regional reference psychiatric emergency unit.
Methods
A retrospective, cross-sectional, and descriptive observational study was conducted utilizing a patient record database of individuals with epilepsy who were attended in a regional reference psychiatric emergency unit between January 2018 and August 2022.
Results
Out of the 31,800 psychiatric emergency visits, 260 (0.8 %) were of patients with epilepsy (ICD-10: G40). The majority were males (63.5 %) with a mean age of 42.11±15.39 years, single marital status (154; 59.25 %) and elementary education (75; 28.9 %). Most of them (203; 78.1 %) presented at least one psychiatric comorbidity at the emergency visit, but 109 (41.9 %) were not receiving any psychiatric follow-up. A total of 106 patients (40.8 %) had experienced at least one past psychiatric hospitalization.
Conclusions
The occurrence of PD is highly prevalent in PWE, and probably with a high frequency of psychiatric emergencies occurring among them. Further studies are needed to assess such patient profile, particularly involving data from psychiatric emergency units.
期刊介绍：
Epilepsy Research provides for publication of high quality articles in both basic and clinical epilepsy research, with a special emphasis on translational research that ultimately relates to epilepsy as a human condition. The journal is intended to provide a forum for reporting the best and most rigorous epilepsy research from all disciplines ranging from biophysics and molecular biology to epidemiological and psychosocial research. As such the journal will publish original papers relevant to epilepsy from any scientific discipline and also studies of a multidisciplinary nature. Clinical and experimental research papers adopting fresh conceptual approaches to the study of epilepsy and its treatment are encouraged. The overriding criteria for publication are novelty, significant clinical or experimental relevance, and interest to a multidisciplinary audience in the broad arena of epilepsy. Review articles focused on any topic of epilepsy research will also be considered, but only if they present an exceptionally clear synthesis of current knowledge and future directions of a research area, based on a critical assessment of the available data or on hypotheses that are likely to stimulate more critical thinking and further advances in an area of epilepsy research.
