The EGUIDE project evaluated how educational lectures on clinical practice guidelines influenced 782 psychiatrists' treatment practices across 176 Japanese hospitals, comparing guideline adherence in over 11,000 patients with schizophrenia or major depressive disorder.

This prospective study of 476 traumatic spinal cord injury patients found that 47% also had concomitant traumatic brain injury, with 85% being mild cases.

This umbrella systematic review synthesized 20 systematic reviews to assess the prevalence and correlates of mental illness in traumatic spinal cord injury patients, finding depression (up to 43%), PTSD (up to 62%), anxiety (27%), and hazardous alcohol use (≥50%) as major concerns. Common risk factors included pain, injury severity, low social support, and maladaptive coping, though evidence for effective interventions was limited.
