Psychiatric morbidity in travelers to Honolulu, Hawaii

Young, Dykes M·1995·Comprehensive Psychiatry

Abstract

To investigate the phenomenon of acute psychiatric decompensation in travelers, charts of all psychiatric-emergency patients with a history of recent travel involving time-zone changes were reviewed at a major medical center in Honolulu, HI. Charts of a control group with no history of travel were also reviewed. Significantly more travelers than controls showed symptoms of depression and mania (P < .012). East-bound travelers were significantly more likely to show symptoms of mania than controls (P < .001). In an eastbound-versus-westbound comparison, significantly more eastbound travelers showed symptoms of mania, whereas significantly more westbound travelers showed symptoms of depression (P < .05). These findings support the phase-advance hypothesis of depression. Psychosocial and biologic factors that may contribute to psychiatric decompensation in travelers are discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
