A new documentation system aids in tracking patients with recurrent affective and schizoaffective disorders undergoing lithium/prophylactic treatment. This database system supports optimal patient care and facilitates research on prophylactic treatments.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Clinical Research
  • Data Management

Background:

  • Recurrent affective and schizoaffective disorders require long-term management.
  • Effective monitoring and research are crucial for optimizing prophylactic treatments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a comprehensive documentation system for patients treated at a lithium/prophylactic treatment outpatient clinic.
  • To enhance the quality of care and facilitate research in affective and schizoaffective disorders.

Main Methods:

  • A database system was developed using ASCII files.
  • The system includes two parts: routine monitoring and research documentation.
  • Routine monitoring covers basic data, global course, and side effects.
  • Research documentation includes laboratory findings, EEG, and treatment cycles.
