Children inpatient

A more rigorous investigation of the taxonicity of adolescent depression was reported by Ambrosini, Bennett, Cleland, and Haslam (2002). This study included 378 adolescents (mean age of 15.7 years), most of whom (n = 358) were outpatients referred to a child and adolescent depression clinic the remaining 20 were inpatients. Participants were assessed with the BDI...

Aggression is an important component of mood disorders. Thus, a measure that captures the frequency and severity of the child s outbursts, such as the Overt Aggression Scale (OAS Yudofsky et ah, 1986), may be useful. This rating was evaluated in one inpatient study, and appears to be reliable and valid (Kafantaris et ah, 1996). Behavior disorder rating scales that measure ADHD and ODD are also likely to be useful. As noted above, our clinic uses a combined Child and Adolescent Symptom Inventory both at baseline and to follow treatment response, as it provides a comprehensive rating of symptoms (Grayson and Carlson, 1991 Gadow et al., 1999).

Similarly, Kaplan and Busner (1997) assessed the prevalence of psychotropic use during 1991 among inpatient pediatric (< 18 years) populations who were treated by child psychiatrists in a New York suburban area. One state, one county-university, and one private hospital were surveyed. Findings showed that overall, 79% (state), 68% (county-university), and 76% (private) of the child and adolescent patients in the population received a psychotropic treatment during the course of the study. The prevalence of antidepressant treatment in the private hospital was very high (80%) but relatively low in the other hospitals (26% each). Antipsychotics were prescribed to 74% of the county hospital patients, and to 57% and 35% of the patients at the other locations. Stimulants were prescribed only rarely (2%, 3%, and 4% of patients). Lithium was prescribed to 35% and 34% of state and county hospital patients, respectively, and to 16% of private hospital patients. Other mood stabilizers (anticonvulsants) were prescribed frequently to private and county hospital patients (31% and 23%, respectively).

Liver Disease — The oral Cl of LTG is 1/2 to 1/4 the Cl of inpatients with moderate to severe hepatic cirrhosis (Childs-Pugh classification of B or C, respectively) compared to healthy control subjects. 

Parents who perceived that they have insufficient time or privacy to make a decision tend to assess the risk and benefit in a more negative light (Hoehn et al., 2005). This is partly a result of stress parents who were anxious were more likely to decline their child s participation (Tait et al., 2003). This would explain why parents are more likely to give consent in an inpatient setting than in an outpatient preoperative setting (Tait et al., 1998), where there was little time and lack of privacy to ponder the issue. Every effort should be made to provide information in an unhurried manner to alleviate anxiety.
