Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Context: In routine practice, major depressive disorder (MDD) with psychotic features often goes under-recognized and undertreated. Previous research has specified several demographic and clinical differences in MDD patients with psychotic features compared with those without psychosis in routine outpatient practice, but there is little systematic research in modern routine hospital settings.', 'We conducted a retrospective electronic medical records chart review of 1,314 patients diagnosed with MDD who were admitted consecutively to a major psychiatric hospital over a 1-year period. We examined the prevalence of psychotic features in the sample and investigated the differences in demographic variables, clinical characteristics, and medication use patterns among patients with and without psychosis.', 'The prevalence of psychotic features was 13.2% in the current hospital sample. Patients with psychotic depression were more likely to be older, male, a member of a racial/ethnic minority, and have more medical comorbidities and certain Axis I disorders compared with nonpsychotic patients. In addition, patients with psychotic depression were more likely to be prescribed antipsychotics and hypnotics before admission.\Question: Do clinical characteristics and medication use patterns among hospitalized patients admitted with psychotic vs nonpsychotic major depressive disorder?
Output (English): Several demographic and clinical characteristics differentiate MDD patients with psychosis from those without psychosis in hospital settings that may be helpful in identifying these patients. Comparisons with outpatient samples and treatments implications are discussed.
