RESUMO
Large amount of data have been published on non-psychotic depression (NPD), schizophrenia (SZ), and bipolar disorder, while psychotic depression (PD) as an own entity has received much smaller attention. We performed a systematic review and meta-analyses on epidemiology, especially incidence and prevalence, risk factors, and outcomes of PD. A systematic search to identify potentially relevant studies was conducted using four electronic databases and a manual search. The search identified 1764 unique potentially relevant articles, the final study included 99 articles. We found that the lifetime prevalence of PD varies between 0.35% and 1%, with higher rates in older age. Onset age of PD was earlier than that of NPD in younger samples, but later in older samples. There were no differences in gender distribution in PD v. NPD, but higher proportion of females was found in PD than in SZ or in psychotic bipolar disorder (PBD). Risk factors have rarely been studied, the main finding being that family history of psychosis and bipolar disorder increases the risk of PD. Outcomes of PD were mostly worse when compared with NPD, but better compared with SZ and schizoaffective disorder. The outcome compared with PBD was relatively similar, and somewhat varied depending on the measure of the outcome. Based on this review, the amount of research on PD is far from that of NPD, SZ, and bipolar disorder. Based on our findings, PD seems distinguishable from related disorders and needs more scientific attention.

PURPOSE: Adverse drug events (ADEs) have been internationally recognized as a major threat to patient safety. The purpose of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis focusing on inpatient ADEs in the Western World to provide better estimate of the current state of medication safety in these countries. METHODS: The studies for meta-analysis were identified through electronic search in Cochrane, Scopus, Medline, and Web of science databases. Included articles focused on adult inpatient ADEs, had commonly accepted definition for ADE, and were conducted between 2000 and 2016. Disease or ADE-specific studies were excluded. Meta-analysis was conducted on the prevalence of inpatient ADEs and fatal adverse drug reactions (FADRs). RESULTS: The pooled estimate of the prevalence of inpatient ADEs was formed by 46,626 patient records included in 9 articles. Inpatient ADE prevalence was 19 and 32.3% of these ADEs were assessed preventable (MD 28.6%, SD 22.6%). Three articles including 3385 patients focused on inpatient FADRs, but the pooled estimate of this was disregarded due to low number and high heterogeneity of the included studies. CONCLUSIONS: ADEs are estimated to affect 19% of inpatients during hospitalization. Most of the ADEs are moderate in severity causing no permanent harm to the patient. Only a small amount of ADEs cause inpatient deaths, but in this meta-analysis, however, we were unable to give direct estimate of the prevalence.

PURPOSE: To compare supraspinatus outlet view (SOV) findings at different stages of the impingement syndrome (IS) with findings in asymptomatic age- and sex-matched controls. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Pre-operative SOVs were obtained of 37 shoulders of patients scheduled for unilateral open repair of a full-thickness rotator cuff tear (stage III IS) and 74 shoulders of patients scheduled for open (n=46) or arthroscopic (n=28) acromioplasty for tendinitis (stage II IS). Each view of a patient's shoulder was paired with a control view obtained from an age- and sex-matched person with no shoulder problems (n=111). RESULTS: There were no significant differences in acromial morphology as evaluated on the scale devised by BIGLIANI et al. or in the tilt, slope or length of the acromion between the study groups and their controls. However, hooked acromion seemed to be more common in the patients. The thickness of the anterior part of the acromion at the tendinitis stage and the acromial angle at the tear stage of IS were the only parameters that showed significant differences between patients and controls. CONCLUSION: Variation of the morphology of the acromion as evaluated on a basis of the SOV is associated with IS, but the association is weak and its value in the diagnosis of IS is therefore only as an adjunctive to other diagnostic modalities.
