Abstract in brief

  • The study aimed to evaluate the relationship between preexisting mental disorders and COVID-19-related mortality among hospitalized patients in France, revealing that many mental health conditions are linked to increased mortality risks.
  • Researchers analyzed data from over 465,000 COVID-19 inpatients and found 33% had mental disorders; most of these categories showed higher mortality rates and reduced access to critical care services, except for opioid use disorders.
  • The analysis suggests that while mental disorders contribute to higher mortality risks, factors such as patient age and other medical conditions also play a significant role in understanding these outcomes.

@Lesinfirmieres1 L'étude de Mickaël Schwarzinger (Bordeaux) confirme que les personnes atteintes de troubles mentaux (au sens très large) ont été moins bien soignés et ont été plus nombreux à mourir en 2020. https://t.co/MOCgWDCXcg
