Article Abstract
Background: Psychoeducation programs can reduce the risk of recurrence and readmission in patients with schizophrenia. However, almost all previous studies of program efficacy have included only patients completing the program, which may not be possible in all cases. The objective of this pilot cohort study was to compare the prognoses of inpatients with schizophrenia who did or did not complete a well-established institutional psychoeducation program.
Methods: This study is a pilot cohort study, and the participants were 32 inpatients in the psychiatric acute care ward. Among these patients, 18 completed the institutional psychoeducation program by discharge, whereas 14 missed one or more sessions for various reasons. The primary outcome was the duration of outpatient treatment (DOT) during the 5-year follow-up period, and the secondary outcomes were comparisons of the risk of all-cause discontinuation for outpatient treatment and correlations between the program participation rates and DOT.
Results: DOT was significantly longer in the program completion group than in the noncompletion group (918.2 (174.3) days vs. 225.5 (35.7) days, p = 0.001), and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis revealed that program noncompliance was associated with a 4.450-fold (p = 0.002) greater risk of discontinuation of outpatient treatment according to multivariate analysis. A significant weak correlation was found for DOT and rates of sessions admitted to the programme (Pearson's r = 0.384, p = 0.030).
Conclusions: Completion of a psychoeducation program could enhanced the success of outpatient treatment. As psychoeducation and related factors may have a positive effect of the prognosis after discharge, inpatient psychoeducation programs should be flexible enough to provide opportunities for completion.

Background: Current management of pediatric cutaneous abscesses involves either spontaneous healing by secondary intention or suturing through tertiary intention, which are often lengthy processes that cause discomfort and distress among children. As it is noninvasive and simple, a novel zipper device is widely used for the primary wound closure of surgical incisions.
Objective: To describe the effectiveness of novel zipper device use for pediatric cutaneous abscess wound closure in an outpatient context.
Background: This retrospective analysis is a derivative cohort study based on a prior retrospective investigation by this author group.
Objective: To assess the effect of the number of cellular and/or tissue-based product (CTP) applications on healing outcomes and wound area reduction (WAR) rates in patients with chronic wounds of multiple etiologies.
Methods: Data from a multicenter private wound care practice electronic health record database were analyzed for Medicare patients receiving CTPs from January 2018 through December 2023.
Trends in nonurgent mental health presentations to emergency departments: insights from the first nationwide study in Germany.

Background: Patients with mental health conditions represent a significant concern in emergency departments, consistently ranking as the third or fourth most prevalent diagnoses during consultations. Globally, over the past two decades, there was a marked increase in such incidences, largely driven by a rise in nonurgent visits related to somatic complaints. However, the implications of these nonurgent visits for mental health patients remain unclear, and warrant further investigation.
