    Abstract Placebo-controlled, acute treatment trials in schizophrenia enroll acutely symptomatic persons, randomize them to receive placebo or antipsychotic medication for several weeks, and evaluate whether symptoms improve. These trials can have scientific benefits, especially when they test drugs with novel mechanisms of action. However, the use of placebo is ethically problematic inasmuch as standard treatment is withheld and participants are subjected to prolonged psychotic symptoms and associated risks. We propose that both deontological (duty-based) and utilitarian analyses are relevant, that it may be impossible to satisfy the ideals of both frameworks, and that researchers who conduct these trials will unavoidably encounter ethical tension and criticism even when they give careful attention to ethical aspects of study design.

    Abstract Schizophrenia is a chronic condition characterized by positive symptoms (auditory hallucinations, delusion), negative symptoms (avolition, social withdrawal), and disorganized thoughts/behaviors. Although the pathophysiology is incompletely understood, several neurobiological mechanisms have been proposed. Treatment usually involves antipsychotic medication as well as psychotherapy and supportive services. When evaluating patients in the emergency department, acute safety considerations are paramount. Patients should be assessed for suicide risk, violence risk, inability to care for self, and the risk of being the victim of a crime. Persons with schizophrenia are at an increased risk of substance use and a variety of medical problems.

    Abstract Objective: The use of exclusion criteria in clinical trials can cause research participants to differ markedly from clinical populations, which negatively impacts generalizability of results. This study identifies and quantifies common and recurring exclusion criteria in clinical trials studying suicide risk reduction, and estimates their impact on eligibility among a clinical sample of adults in an emergency department with high suicide risk.
    Method: Recent trials were identified by searching PubMed (terms suicide, efficacy, effectiveness, limited to clinical trials in prior 5 years). Common exclusion criteria were identified using Qualitative Content Analysis. A retrospective chart review examined a one-month sample of all adults receiving psychiatric evaluation in a large urban academic emergency department.
    Results: The search yielded 27 unique clinical trials studying suicide risk reduction as a primary or secondary outcome. After research fundamentals (e.g. informed consent, language fluency), the most common exclusion criteria involved psychosis (77.8%), cognitive problems (66.7%), and substance use (63.0%). In the clinical sample of adults with high suicide risk (
    Conclusions: Recent clinical trials studying suicide risk reduction have low generalizability to emergency psychiatry patients with high suicide risk. Trials enrolling persons with psychosis and substance use in particular are needed to improve generalizability to this clinical population.

    Abstract Abstract: Some patients engage in self-harm behaviors while in the emergency department. Risk factors for self-harm have been described for inpatient and outpatient/community settings, but not among emergency department patients. Authors conducted case-control, retrospective reviews of medical records and incident reports for emergency department patients in two academic medical centers. Variables were analyzed using conditional logistic regression. There were 113 individuals who engaged in self-harm while in the emergency department and 226 individuals who did not. Four variables were significant in the final model: a history of nonsuicidal self-harm (odds ratio [OR], 4.28; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.95-9.41), opioid use in the prior 2 weeks (OR, 2.89; CI, 1.19-7.02), current manic episode (OR, 3.59; CI, 1.33-9.70), and a history of seizures (OR, 4.19; CI, 1.16-15.14). Risk of self-harm while in the emergency department may be mitigated with interventions that support adaptive coping skills, promptly address pain and withdrawal symptoms, and treat mania.

    Abstract Background: Differences often exist between people with depression who are eligible for clinical trials and those seen in clinical practice. The impact of exclusion criteria on eligibility has been previously reported for inpatients and outpatients, but has not been assessed for emergency psychiatry patients; a group that overlaps with inpatients and outpatients but also has important distinctives. Understanding the frequencies of commonly used exclusion criteria in this population could inform interpretation of existing data (generalizability) and highlight opportunities/needs for future trials.
    Methods: We reviewed 67 clinical trials studying depression using Qualitative Content Analysis to identify common and recurring exclusion criteria. We examined the frequency of these exclusion criteria among a clinical sample of emergency psychiatry patients.
    Results: Most clinical trials had exclusions for basic research requirements, age, symptom severity, psychosis, and substance use. Applying 9 commonly used exclusion criteria to the clinical population resulted in a 3.3 % eligibility rate (95 % CI 1.2 %-7.0 %). Exclusions for psychosis (85.1 % of trials), substance use (83.6 % of trials), and suicide risk (65.7 % of trials) would likely exclude 93 % of emergency psychiatry patients. The prevalence of psychosis, substance use, and suicide risk was much higher among emergency psychiatry patients than among previously studied populations.
    Limitations: Some eligibility criteria could not be measured. The Qualitative Content Analysis consolidated similar exclusion criteria, losing potentially important nuances in wordings.
    Conclusions: Exclusion criteria commonly used in contemporary clinical trials of depression limit generalizability to emergency psychiatry patients, due in large part to exclusions for psychosis, substance use, and suicide risk.

    Abstract Background: Dupuytren's disease (DD) is a fibroproliferative hand disorder associated with various medical conditions, including diabetes mellitus (DM). The reported prevalence of DM among DD patients varies widely, primarily due to small sample sizes in previous studies.
    Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study using data from the TriNetX Research Database. We analyzed the overall prevalence of DD between 2010 and 2020, comparing the DM, type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) cohorts. Within the DM group, patients were further categorized based on hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) values and prescribed anti-diabetic agents (insulin or metformin). We compared the prevalence of DD diagnosis in each group using prevalence ratios and differences.
    Results: There is a higher prevalence of DD in patients with T2DM than in patients with T1DM (relative risk [RR]: 1.641; 95% confidence interval [CI]: [1.356, 1.986]). Among patients with diabetes, there is a higher prevalence of DD in those taking insulin compared to those taking metformin (RR: 0.801, 95% CI: [0.774, 0.83]). The prevalence of DD varies depending on HbA1c levels, with a prevalence of 0.463% in patients having levels within the diabetic range, while lower prevalences of 0.392% and 0.416% are found in patients with prediabetes or uncontrolled diabetes, respectively.
    Conclusions: This study provides further insight into the relationship between DM and DD. These findings may be attributed to the increased accumulation of advanced glycosylated end products (AGEs) in patients with diabetes. Future research exploring the connection between AGE accumulation and DD development may enhance our understanding of the relationship between DD and DM.
