This is first study primarily focusing BIBP a PES COVID-19-period. Methods Case documentation records and second wave of Berlin, Germany were analyzed using descriptive data analysis binomial logistic regression to detect factors that predict BIBP. Results 5440 presentations: 2.4% vs. 16.3% its control period; wave: 17.6% 14.9% period. In both waves, absolute increases seen compared (p = .029, p .028, respectively). COVID-19-period was predictor for wave, when associated with inpatient admission or diagnosis schizophrenia psychotic disorders. No effects found wave. The following predicted independently COVID-19: younger age, male gender, admissions, aggressive behavior, suicide attempt prior presentation substance use disorders; depressive disorders negatively associated. Conclusions During pandemic, there an increase (not wave), especially at risk As outpatient facilities less available which normalized this might be explaining factor should caveat future pandemics.

Amid the ongoing global repercussions of SARS-CoV-2, it is crucial to comprehend its potential long-term psychiatric effects. Several recent studies have suggested a link between COVID-19 and subsequent mental health disorders. Our investigation joins this exploration, concentrating on Schizophrenia Spectrum Psychotic Disorders (SSPD). Different from other studies, we took acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) lab-negative cohorts as control groups accurately gauge impact SSPD. Data 19,344,698 patients, sourced N3C Enclave platform, were methodically filtered create propensity matched cohorts: ARDS (n = 222,337), positive 219,264), negative 213,183). We systematically analyzed hazard rate new-onset SSPD across three distinct time intervals: 0-21 days, 22-90 beyond 90 days post-infection. patients consistently exhibited heightened ratio (HR) all intervals [0-21 (HR: 4.6; CI: 3.7-5.7), 2.9; 2.3 -3.8), 1.7; 1.5-1.)]. These are notably higher than both patients. Validations using various tests, including Cochran Mantel Haenszel Test, Wald Log-rank Test confirmed these associations. Intriguingly, our data indicated that younger individuals face risk after contracting COVID-19, trend not observed in groups. results, aligned with known neurotropism SARS-CoV-2 earlier accentuate need for vigilant assessment support era Long-COVID, especially among populations.
