By Pooja Toshniwal PahariaMay 30 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent study published in JAMA Psychiatry, researchers estimated psychiatric disorders and psychotropic medication usage risks among severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 -infected versus uninfected individuals, those who did not undergo coronavirus disease 2019 testing, and individuals hospitalized due to non-COVID-19 respiratory tract infections.
However, national-level studies assessing the neuropsychiatric outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 infections are scarce. Moreover, previous studies included specific cohorts such as United States veterans or individuals from healthcare organizations, limiting the generalizability of the study findings. Follow-up assessments were performed until 31 December 2021 until the censoring, outcome, or termination of follow-up. The study exposure was polymerase chain reaction results for SARS-CoV-2 infection and associated hospitalization.
Data were obtained from Danish national registries linked to the participants using unique personal identification numbers and anonymized for analysis. Psychiatric disorders risks increased among PCR-positive individuals and PCR-negative individuals in comparison to those who did not undergo PCR testing.
