ObjectiveTo investigate the current status of emergency management for severe mental disorders in Shanghai, and to provide countermeasures and suggestions for the establishment of a sound emergency management system for severe mental disorders and the enhancement of emergency management capability. MethodsA questionnaire survey and qualitative interviews were used to conduct an investigation into the emergency management in 17 district-level mental illness prevention and control institutions in Shanghai, which includes the basic situation of emergency management for severe mental disorders, the construction of emergency response teams and personnel, emergency preparedness drills and training, emergency management plans and rules and regulations, and problems encountered in emergency management. ResultsIn terms of emergency management mechanism and basic situation, resources such as personnel allocation, security funds and green channel were well equipped in each district-level mental illness prevention and control institution in Shanghai. However, the equipment of some hardware facilities was still insufficient to some extent. Therefore, further improvement on the emergency management mechanism for severe mental disorders was needed. With regard to the construction of emergency team and personnel allocation, the majority were those aged between 35‒<45 years old, with a bachelor’s degree, and more than 10 years of working experience. For example, 90.27% staff in district-level mental illness prevention and control institution had a bachelor’s degree or above, which was higher than that among the staff in community-level (73.60%); staff majored in clinical medicine in district-level institution accounted for the proportion at 52.71%, higher than that among the staff in community-level (28.86%); 57.24% staff in district-level institution had an intermediate professional title, higher than that among the staff in community-level (42.28%); and 69.90% staff in district-level institution had more than 10 years of working experience, higher than that among the staff in community-level (43.62%). In the aspect of emergency drills and training, all district-level mental illness prevention and control institutions in Shanghai had a high demand for emergency training, and the weak aspects mainly focused on lack of emergency service protocols, skills of addressing technical challenges, and construction of effectiveness evaluation system. Moreover, the teaching methods were primarily centered on case analysis, simulation drills, interactive discussions, and so forth. Concerning emergency management plans and rules and regulations, all districts in Shanghai had relatively established well-developed systems for emergency response plans, emergency response leadership groups, and emergency response operational task forces for severe mental disorders. About half of the institutions had established other rules and regulations related to emergency management of severe mental disorders in addition to emergency plans. ConclusionShanghai has initially established an emergency management system for severe mental disorders, but it is still fragile in specialized training for emergency management of severe mental disorders, construction of emergency management mechanisms, and the building-up of grassroots emergency teams. Further priorities should include strengthening emergency management training, enhancing the construction of emergency management personnel teams, and gradually establishing a more comprehensive and integrated emergency management mechanism for severe mental disorders.

ObjectiveTo investigate the status of liver function abnormalities in patients with severe mental disorder (SMD) in Shanghai community, to explore the related factors to abnormal liver function in patients with SMD, and to analyze the effects of the types of mental disorders and medication status on liver function abnormalities. MethodsThe patients with SMD in Jinshan District, Minhang District, Hongkou District and Xuhui District of Shanghai were selected as the research subjects. Questionnaire survey, physical examination and laboratory tests were conducted to obtain their demographic characteristics and liver function indicators such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and total bilirubin (TBil). The types of mental disorders and medication status of patients in Jinshan District were also investigated. Abnormalities in liver function were determined by abnormalities in either ALT or TBil. Binary logistic regression analysis was used for multivariate analysis of the status of abnormal liver function, and the effects of mental disorder types and medication status on liver function were analyzed, simultaneously. ResultsA total of 7 251 patients with SMD were finally included into this study, and the rate of liver function abnormality was 22.7%, of which 694 cases (9.6%) had ALT abnormality and 1 084 cases (14.9%) had TBil abnormality. Univariate analysis showed that the rate of liver function abnormalities was higher in males than that in females (χ2=45.026, P<0.001), higher in suburbs than that in urban areas (χ2=25.317, P<0.001), higher in those with higher BMI than in those with lower BMI (χ2=63.748, P<0.001), higher in those with elevated blood pressure (BP) than in those without elevated BP (χ2=24.774, P<0.001), higher in those with elevated blood glucose than in those without elevated blood glucose (χ2=43.345, P<0.001), higher in those with abnormal triglyceride (TG) than in those with normal TG (χ2=15.551,P<0.001), and higher in those with abnormal total cholesterol (TC) than in those with normal TC (χ2=10.962, P=0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that the rate of abnormal liver function was higher in males than that in females (OR=1.53, 95%CI: 1.36‒1.73), higher in suburbs than that in urban areas (OR=1.43, 95%CI: 1.21‒1.70), higher in those with overweight than in those with normal BMI (OR=1.16, 95%CI: 1.01‒1.33), higher in those with obesity than in those with those with normal BMI (OR=1.61, 95%CI: 1.36‒1.91), higher in those with elevated blood glucose than in those without elevated blood glucose (OR=1.39, 95%CI: 1.23‒1.58), and higher in those with abnormal TC than in those with normal TC (OR=1.36, 95%CI: 1.13‒1.65).The difference in the rate of ALT abnormalities among the SMD patients in Jinshan District with different medication status was statistically significant (χ2=21.928, P<0.001). Whereas, the differences in the effects of the types of mental disorders and medication status on the status of liver function abnormalities were not statistically significant(P>0.05). ConclusionThe detection rate of liver function abnormalities in community-based SMD patients in Shanghai is high, and male, suburban, and accompanied by elevated BMI, BP, blood glucose, and TC are risk factors for liver function abnormalities in patients with SMD. Primary healthcare providers should pay more attention to the liver function of patients with SMD and initiate targeted and tailored prevention, detection and treatment measures.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of paliperidone palmitate treatment on schizophrenic patients in the community. Methods446 schizophrenic patients who used paliperidone palmitate injection were selected in Shanghai. Before and after the treatment, the disease family burden scale, the concise evaluation scale of drug treatment compliance, the VAS100 score of treatment satisfaction, the short form of quality of life measurement scale, and the screening scale of social function defects were used to evaluate the effects of paliperidone palmitate injection. The data were statistically analyzed using SPSS 26.0 software. ResultsAfter using paliperidone palmitate injection, the total score of family burden (13.94±12.17), the score of daily family activities (3.26±2.74), the score of family entertainment activities (2.21±2.30), and the score of family relationship (2.79±2.76) were significantly higher than those before the treatment (14.98±12.64, 3.51±2.88, 2.48±2.38, 3.11±2.87, respectively, all with P<0.05). The scores of the World Health Organization on quality of life brief scale (62.89±11.94) and the medication compliance scale (28.11±5.64) were better than those before treatment (60.67±12.62 and 27.37±6.96, all with P<0.05). Compared with the prior treatment without paliperidone palmitate injection, the number of readmissions after treatment was significantly reduced (P<0.01). ConclusionThe treatment of paliperidone palmitate injection has significant effect, which can effectively reduce the disease family burden of Schizophrenic patients, improve their quality of life, enhance their drug compliance, reduce the readmission rate of patients, ensure long-term treatment effect and promote disease recovery.

ObjectiveTo explore the relapse status based on the positive and negative syndrome scale (PANSS Scale) and related factors of schizophrenics in Shanghai communities, and to analyze the association between socio demographic characteristics, lifestyles, clinical characteristics and relapse. MethodsA dynamic cohort prospective study design was used in this study. From March 2018 to February 2019, a total of 189 schizophrenics in Xuhui, Hongkou, Changning, Jiading, Songjiang and Baoshan districts were enrolled successively. Baseline questionnaires were conducted through face-to-face interviews at baseline, which contained social demographic information, lifestyle information and clinical information. A follow-up was conducted every 2 weeks for a measurement of PANSS Scale for a total of 6 months. Relapse was assessed by a PANSS score increase of ≥25% from baseline (or an increase of 10 points or more if the baseline score was ≤40 points). Univariate and multivariate Cox regression models were used to analyze the associations between relapse status (assessed by PANSS Scale) and socio demographic characteristics, lifestyles, and clinical characteristics, respectively. ResultsA total of 165 community schizophrenics completed baseline and follow-up surveys, with a loss to follow-up rate of about 12.7%. After exclusion of sociodemographic and clinical information deficits, 132 patients were included in the analysis totally, with an average age of 48.18±12.67 years, among whom 41.67% were male. Totally 33 patients relapsed during the 6-month follow-up period, with a relapse rate of 25.0%. After adjusting for gender, family history, age, employment, education, marital status, smoking, drinking, exercise frequency, medication compliance, insight, social function, violence history, stress recent events, adverse drug reactions and baseline scores of PANSS Scale, risk factors of relapse included the following four factors: age below 40 years (HR=4.47, 95%CI: 1.15-17.40), primary school or below (HR=7.11, 95%CI: 1.54-32.83), unemployed (HR=8.34, 95%CI: 1.78-38.98), and adverse drug reactions (HR=5.02, 95%CI: 1.75-14.37). ConclusionWe should pay attention to the risk factors such as age, education, employment and adverse drug reactions, in order to identify high-risk patients and to conduct timely interventions during the relapse management of schizophrenics in Shanghai community.

ObjectiveTo determine the factors associated with aggressive behaviors of patients with schizophrenia by gender in communities in Shanghai, and further develop and validate the prediction model. MethodsA total of 7 955 community patients with schizophrenia were investigated in Xuhui District, Hongkou District and Jiading District of Shanghai. Baseline information was collected from April 2018 and follow-up was conducted every 3 months for 6 months. Multivariate logistic regression was used to calculate the odd ratio (OR) and 95% CI, and determine the factors associated with aggressive behaviors of patients. The risk score for each patient was developed based on the β coefficient, and the best cut-off value was determined by the Youden index. For the models, predictive ability was determined using area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve), and internal validation ability was evaluated by the ten-fold cross validation method. ResultsThere were 3 563 males in this study with an average age of (54.83±13.72) years old, and the incidence of aggressive behaviors was 2.55%.There were 4 392 females with an average age of (57.20±14.98) years, and the incidence of aggressive behaviors was 2.64%. For male patients with schizophrenia, single/divorced status (OR=2.04, 95%CI: 1.15‒3.61), low economic status (OR=2.79, 95%CI: 1.71‒4.54), irregular medication (OR=4.35, 95%CI:2.23‒8.47), no medication (OR=1.83, 95%CI:1.03‒3.26), incomplete/no insight (OR=1.97, 95%CI:0.99‒3.94), adverse drug reaction (OR=2.61, 95%CI:1.27‒5.37), psychiatric symptoms involving violence (OR=2.06, 95%CI:1.01‒4.18), history of aggression (OR=5.29, 95%CI:2.33‒11.98) and recent stress events (OR=8.36, 95%CI:4.13‒16.92) were associated with aggressive behaviors. In contrast, for female patients, age less than 60 years (50‒59 years, OR=2.09, 95%CI: 1.13‒3.87; 40‒49 years, OR=2.74, 95%CI: 1.46‒5.17; 30‒39 years,OR=2.88, 95%CI: 1.48‒5.60; 18‒29 years, OR=5.71, 95%CI: 2.44‒13.37), educational level of high school and above (senior high school, OR=3.30, 95%CI: 1.46‒7.49; college and university, OR=2.88, 95%CI: 1.21‒6.82), unemployed status (OR=1.81, 95%CI=1.17‒2.82), irregular medication (OR=7.87, 95%CI:4.75‒13.05), no medication (OR=2.11, 95%CI:1.24‒3.62), adverse drug reaction (OR=2.75, 95%CI:1.50‒5.04), psychiatric symptoms involving violence (OR=3.08, 95%CI:1.77‒5.37), social function (OR=3.51, 95%CI:2.07‒5.94) and recent stress events (OR=5.92, 95%CI: 2.82‒12.44) were risk factors. In both male and female, the prediction models for aggressive behaviors of community patients with schizophrenia had strong predictive ability (AUC=0.779, 95%CI: 0.725‒0.834; AUC=0.822, 95%CI: 0.780‒0.863). ConclusionThis study suggests that diverse risk factors should be considered for community patients with schizophrenia by gender to prevent the aggressive behaviors.
