AIM
Given the concerns for mental health (MH) impacts on children and adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the relative paucity of research in this field, this retrospective study compares the rate of paediatric inpatient MH admissions for psychosis for a period of 11 months before and during the pandemic.
METHODS
We used administrative data to compare the rate and clinical characteristics of patients (<18 years) admitted to a psychiatric inpatient unit for a psychotic illness before (March 17, 2019 to February 17, 2020) and during (March 17, 2020 to February 17, 2021) the COVID-19 pandemic.
RESULTS
Results showed a 66% increase in inpatient psychosis admissions from pre-pandemic rates. More males were admitted with psychosis during the pandemic. Age and length of hospitalization were not significantly different across time periods.
CONCLUSIONS
Results highlight the importance of accessible MH care for paediatric patients with psychosis during the pandemic.
目的
鉴于 COVID-19 大流行期间儿童和青少年的心理健康（MH）受到关注，以及该领域研究相对较少，本回顾性研究比较了大流行前后 11 个月期间儿童精神病住院 MH 入院率的精神病发病率。
方法
我们使用行政数据比较了在 COVID-19 大流行之前（2019 年 3 月 17 日至 2020 年 2 月 17 日）和期间（2020 年 3 月 17 日至 2021 年 2 月 17 日）精神病住院的精神病患者（<18 岁）的入院率和临床特征。
结果
结果显示，与大流行前相比，精神病住院人数增加了 66%。在大流行期间，更多的男性因精神病入院。年龄和住院时间在不同时期没有显著差异。
结论
结果强调了在大流行期间为患有精神病的儿科患者提供可及的 MH 护理的重要性。
