“…A higher burden of modifiable cardiovascular risk factors (such as smoking and drug abuse), as well as inequalities in healthcare distribution, plays a potential role [ 2 ]. Patients diagnosed with mental health disorders, in general, are known to experience delayed presentation, diagnosis and treatment [ 3 ], poor communication with the healthcare system, and subsequently receive lower-quality care [ 4 ].…”

Background.Patients with diagnosed mental health problems are more predisposed to cardiovascular disease, including cardiac surgery. Nevertheless, health outcomes after cardiac surgery for patients with mental health problems as a discrete group are unknown. This study examined the association between secondary care mental health service use and postoperative health outcomes following cardiac surgery. Methods.We conducted a retrospective observational research, utilising data from a large South London mental healthcare supplier linked to national hospitalisation data. OPCS-4 codes were applied to classify cardiac surgery. Health results were compared between those individuals with a mental health disorder diagnosis from secondary care and other local residents, including the length of hospital stay (LOS), inpatient mortality, and 30-day emergency hospital readmission. Results.12,384 patients received cardiac surgery, including 1,481 with a mental disorder diagnosis.Patients with mental health diagnosis were at greater risk of emergency admissions for cardiac surgery (Odds ratio [

“…Antipsychotics may be a cause of pain insensitivity that can delay diagnosis and treatment [17]. Second, some reports have suggested that poor communication between patients and medical staff members may lead to delayed diagnosis and treatment [4] [18]. On the surgical floor, surgeons, nurses, and other health care professionals may not be experienced in caring for the special needs of these patients.…”

Background: The purpose of this retrospective study was to examine the clinical outcomes of patients with concomitant lung cancer and psychiatric disorders who underwent pulmonary resection at our institution and develop a strategy for treating such patients in the future. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 23 patients with psychiatric disorders who underwent pulmonary resection for lung cancer at our institution between January 1984 and December 2011. Results: The study population comprised 13 men and 10 women with an average age of 67.4 years. The histological types of lung cancer included adenocarcinoma in 14 patients, squamous cell carcinoma in 4, and other types in 5. Fifteen patients were classified as having pathological TNM stage I cancer, four as having stage II, three as having stage III, and one as having stage IV. The coexisting psychiatric disorders were neurosis in eight patients, depression in seven, schizophrenia in five, dementia in two, and oligophrenia in one. Three patients were admitted without a full understanding of the operation. There were no major complications with the exception of delirium, which was seen in eight patients. None of these patients' coexisting psychiatric disorders worsened. No perioperative death occurred. Conclusions: At our institution, we cooperate closely with psychiatrists to care for surgical patients with psychiatric disorders. There is a possibility that such cooperation will reduce the frequency of previously reported complications.
