Summary: This study investigated the co-prevalence of depression and anxiety with stroke and myocardial infarction through a systematic search across five databases. The results showed a high prevalence of depression in patients with stroke and myocardial infarction, suggesting the need for further research to evaluate the effectiveness of screening depression/anxiety in myocardial infarction/stroke.

Summary: Psychoeducational interventions in cardiac rehabilitation have shown significant benefits for patients with acute coronary syndrome, improving quality of life, reducing hospitalizations, and enhancing emotional well-being. The type and dose of personalized psychological and educational intervention play a crucial role in achieving positive outcomes.

Summary: This study aimed to report the demographics, angiographic findings, and in-hospital outcomes of COVID-19 ACS patients and compare them with pre-COVID-19 cohorts. The study found that COVID-19-positive ACS patients experienced delayed presentation and had higher in-hospital mortality rates compared to the control subjects before the COVID-19 pandemic. Excessive rates of and mortality from cardiogenic shock were major contributors to the worse outcomes in COVID-19 positive STEMI patients.

Summary: Growing evidence suggests that individuals with anxiety disorder have an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). A prospective cohort study using UK Biobank data showed that the risk of CVD was higher among individuals diagnosed with anxiety disorder, depression, and both conditions. There was little evidence of interaction between anxiety disorder, depression, and CVD. The findings suggest that anxiety disorder should be considered in CVD risk prediction and stratification, in addition to depression.

Summary: Anxiety and depressive symptoms have a negative impact on surgical outcomes in patients with rotator cuff tear undergoing surgical repair. Patients without mood disorders before rotator cuff repair are ideal candidates for surgery. This study found that anxiety and depressive symptoms significantly reduced after rotator cuff repair, leading to improvements in functionality, ability to carry out activities of daily living, perceived pain, and quality of life.

Summary: This study used the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) to assess the intensity and prevalence of psychological distress in cancer inpatients. The results show that anxiety and depression are distinct entities, with anxiety being more intense overall. Certain sociodemographic and clinical factors, such as gender, age, occupational status, and cancer diagnosis, were found to be associated with anxiety and depression intensity or prevalence.

Summary: This study examined trends in rehospitalization after an initial acute myocardial infarction and found that the risk of readmission within 30 days increased slightly in recent years. Older adults and patients with atrial fibrillation, heart failure, diabetes, and other chronic conditions were at higher risk for readmission. Enhanced surveillance efforts and tailored treatment approaches are needed for these high-risk groups.

Summary: The AROMI trial aimed to evaluate if an accelerated dual-marker rule-out strategy using prehospital copeptin and in-hospital high-sensitivity troponin T could safely reduce length of stay in patients discharged after early rule-out of AMI. The results showed that this strategy reduced mean length of stay by 0.9 hours and was non-inferior in terms of 30-day major adverse cardiac events compared to the standard rule-out strategy.

Summary: This study aims to examine the prognosis of ADHD, within-country variation in ADHD diagnoses and medication rates, and causal effects of being diagnosed with ADHD and receiving ADHD medication on long-term outcomes. The study links several nationwide Norwegian registries and utilizes survival analysis, mixed-effects models, and preference-based instrumental variables for analysis. The project has been approved by the Regional Ethics Committee, and results will be disseminated through open-access journals and conferences.

Summary: This study compared the performance of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I and T in diagnosing obstructive coronary artery disease in patients with suspected chronic coronary syndrome. It found that hs-cTnI had superior performance compared to hs-cTnT and that the diagnostic performance was best in patients with low cardiovascular risk.

Summary: The rate of ADHD diagnosis varies across regions, but the relationship with symptom levels has not been studied. This study uses data from Norway to investigate if ADHD symptom levels explain the variation in ADHD diagnoses. The findings show that geographical variation has a larger impact on ADHD diagnosis than symptom levels. Additionally, the free and universally available treatment in the Norwegian child and adolescent mental health services may not be the sole factor contributing to the geographical variation in ADHD diagnosis.

Summary: The prevalence and medication rates of ADHD vary geographically, and clinician attitudes play a potential role in explaining this variation. This study aimed to describe the variation in attitudes toward the diagnosis and medication of ADHD among clinicians working in child and adolescent mental health services. The results showed that the attitudes varied from restrictive to liberal, with an overall leaning toward the restrictive end of the spectrum. Professional background and workplace explained only a small part of the variance in these attitudes.

Summary: Patient and public involvement (PPI) is seen as important in health research, and this study explored PPI from the perspective of occupational therapy (OT)-trained researchers. The results showed that the researchers' professional background and clinical experience influenced how they approached and facilitated PPI. Valuing experiential knowledge and balancing expectations were highlighted as essential for meaningful PPI.

Summary: Despite the numerous systematic reviews on ADHD, many key questions remain unanswered. Gaps exist in evidence regarding the prevalence of ADHD, causal relationships of documented risk factors, efficacy of treatments, and the effectiveness of pharmacotherapy in mitigating adverse outcomes associated with ADHD.

Summary: This study explored the experiences of patients in Northern Norway regarding the safety and quality of healthcare services following percutaneous coronary intervention. The findings revealed that feeling safe and experiencing quality care depended on factors such as being heard within the healthcare system, availability of help when needed, travel time for treatment, competence of healthcare professionals, and organization of follow-up services.
