“…It seems to apply to arts, sports, and most professional activities. The various papers in this issue [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] of ECAP offer a perspective on how our trainees in Europe as well as other parts of the world spend their 10,000 h. They offer an overview of differences and similarities in length and content of training, but also on how we guide our trainees through their personal and professional development and help them spend those 10.000 h in the most productive and fruitful way to prepare to attend to children's mental health needs in the future.…”

“…Among the world's 7 billion population, almost half of the citizens are under 25 years of age (with 1.8 billion between the ages of 10 and 24) [6]. With only about 20,000 child and adolescent psychiatrists worldwide this means that there is one child and adolescent psychiatrist for every 300,000 youth of which about 60,000 will have an active psychiatric disorder [49]. The geographic maldistribution of child and adolescent psychiatrists in favor of large urban areas leaves a great many youth unserved or at impossible distances from psychiatric care.…”

Appropriate healthcare and psychological support for children and adolescents is essential for the successful development and good mental health. Unfortunately, this is often a neglected element in the healthcare systems around the world. It is known that approximately half of all adult psychiatric disorders start under the age of 14 and that the prevalence of child and adolescent-onset psychiatric conditions is increasing. The real reason for this increase remains unclear but it demands our attention as does the care of affected children, adolescents and their families. Transitions between different age groups need to be made easily navigable for the patients and their families. Many challenges in child and adolescent psychiatry are present, especially in developing countries such as in Serbia. A possible solution for overcoming these challenges is uniting of child and adolescent professional societies from all over the world. These societies should work together to develop unified strategies for diagnosis, treatment and support of children affected by psychiatric conditions. By working closely with pediatricians, family physicians, psychologists, nurses and other professionals, child and adolescent psychiatry can use knowledge and skills to support practice while teaching other professionals how to optimize the utilization of child and adolescent psychiatry services

Background: Studies of the prevalence of hyperuricemia in adolescents have been limited to specific areas and the prevalence in Asia is unknown. Objectives: This study was to determine the prevalence of hyperuricemia in adolescents in Asia from 2000 to 2019.Data sources: A comprehensive search was conducted to identify all relevant cross-sectional studies in Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane library databases.Study eligibility criteria: “hyperuricemia” and “adolescent” were the two critical inclusion criteria. Participants, and interventions: Adolescents;Study appraisal and synthesis methods: Two reviewers independently extracted data and assessed study quality using STROBE check list. Extracted information included the first author, study year, country, publication year, sample size, number of cases, and age of onset. Heterogeneity among studies was evaluated using the Q test and quantified using the I2 statistic. Subgroup analyses were performed to identify the source of the heterogeneity. The possibility of publication bias was assessed using Egger’s test. Results: The meta-analysis included 11 articles. The pooled prevalence of hyperuricemia in adolescents in Asia was 15.4% (95% CI 9.5-21.2%) and the prevalence of adolescents in Taiwan was higher than that in mainland China. The prevalence in coastal areas was higher than that in inland areas. The prevalence of men was higher than that of women. After excluding the high prevalence study in Taiwan, the prevalence of adolescents has been increasing year by year. Publication bias was observed but the results did not change after a trim and fill test, indicating that the impact of this bias was likely insignificant.Limitations: The diagnostic criteria for hyperuricemia for adolescents varied among the studies; some studies used their own cut-off values for hyperuricemia in adolescents.Conclusions and implications of key findings: Hyperuricemia prevalence in adolescents is high and continues to increase. The prevalence varies with geography, gender, and time. Effective measures should be taken to prevent any further increase in the incidence of adolescent hyperuricemia.Systematic review registration number: Not applicable.
