ABSTRACT
Objective:
To describe the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of acute psychiatric disorders in COVID-19 patients in an emergency department at a national reference psychiatry and mental health hospital.Methods:
A descriptive observational study was performed. Data were collected from medical records of patients admitted by emergency according to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11). The group of patients with a first acute psychiatric episode vs. patients with more than one acute psychiatric episode were compared.Results:
110 patients were included; 61.8% corresponded to the female sex and the mean age was 36 years. 49.1% corresponded to schizophrenia, followed by acute polymorphic psychotic disorder (13.6%), bipolar disorder (10%), and depressive episodes (7.3%). Psychotic disorders and depressive episodes occurred in a higher percentage in the group with a first episode, 42.4% (p< 0.001), and 15.2% (p< 0.001), respectively. The episodes of schizophrenia were higher in the group of patients with previous episodes (63.6%).Conclusions:
A higher frequency of cases of acute psychotic disorder and depressive disorders was found as the first episode in patients with COVID-19 infection; however, within the group with previous episodes, greater predominance of patients with acute disorders due to schizophrenia was found.
