RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: The crisis consultation unit (CCU) of the child psychiatry department of the Reims University Hospital was created to respond to an increasing demand for rapid interventions with minors. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to observe the characteristics of the population received in this facility and to explore the links between the data, to hypothesize about its specificities. METHOD: We conducted a cross-sectional study of data collected during telephone assessments between June 2016 and January 2018. A univariate analysis was performed using EpiInfo© software and the pvalue.io© statistical interface using R statistical software. A total of 263 telephone contacts were counted. RESULTS: A greater activity of the service is found during the school period. The majority of minors did not have any psychiatric or psychological follow-up at the time of the call. Boys consulted earlier, preferably for externalized disorders. The youngest children are often referred to prevent symptoms following an acute stress. CONCLUSION: Our study allowed us to draw up a sociodemographic profile and to show certain trends observed within the CCU of the child psychiatry department of the Reims University Hospital, in particular the multiplicity of reasons for consultation. At a time when the health crisis is impacting the mental health of the entire population and increasing the time required for treatment, this type of system is particularly relevant to the possible reorganization of the care offered by the CMP. The CCU would make it possible to report the most urgent situations, which would then benefit from specific care (hospitalization, medication, specific consultations).

OBJECTIVE: To identify risk factors for a woman to experience pregnancy denial. DESIGN, SETTING AND POPULATION: A French multicentric prospective case-control study with 71 mother-infant dyads having experienced a pregnancy denial versus a control group of 71 dyads. METHODS: Data were collected in the week after delivery using an observational leaflet and two psychiatric scales (MINI and QSSP). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Statistically significant differences between the two groups regarding social, demographic, medical and psychiatric data. RESULTS: Not being in a stable relationship (odds ratio [OR] 17.18, 95% CI 3.37-87.60]; P < 0.0001), not having a high school diploma (OR 1.11, 95% CI 1.04-1.38]; P < 0.0001) and having a psychiatric history (OR 6.33, 95% CI 1.62-24.76; P = 0.0002) were risk factors to experience pregnancy denial, whereas being older was a protective factor (OR 0.86, 95% CI 0.79-0.93; P = 0.0054) (logistic regression, Wald 95% CI). Other risk factors included late declarations of pregnancy history and past pregnancy denials (case n = 7, 9.7% versus 0% in controls; P = 0.01), past pregnancy denials in the family (case n = 13, 18% versus control n = 4, 5.6%; P = 0.03), and use of a contraceptive method (75% for cases versus 7% in control; P < 0.0001), primarily an oral contraceptive (75%). CONCLUSION: Family or personal history of pregnancy denial should be part of the systematic anamnesis during the first visit of a patient of child-bearing age. Further, our study points out that life context (young age, single status, socio-economic precarity, pill-based contraception) could be a trigger for pregnancy denial in certain women. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT: Life context can be a trigger for pregnancy denial.

22q11.2DS is one of the more frequent genetic syndromes associated to psychiatric symptoms. It has been associated to an increased risk to develop schizophrenia in adolescence or early adulthood. However, psychiatric symptoms appear early on, and should be recognized as soon as possible by child psychiatrists in order to improve the present well-being of children and their family, and to prevent further risks of developing severe and chronic psychiatric diseases later on. In this paper, we present a review of the recent literature concerning the 22q11.2DS syndrome focused on the risk factors that may be associated to an increased risk of psychotic transition. We advocate for the development of systematic specialized child psychiatry consultations for these patients, included in networks with geneticists, adult psychiatrists, and family associations, in order to improve their psychiatric prognosis and to support the development of translational research.
