Abstract:

Introduction: Consultation-liaison psychiatrists see a broad range of pathology and patient demographics. Given the extensive nature of the field, it can be difficult to remain current on relevant research and clinical updates. The goal of the workshop is to present the ten most important papers from the 2021-2022 academic year, as identified by members of the Academy of Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry Guidelines and Evidence Based Medicine Subcommittee.

Methods: Each quarter, the Guidelines and Evidence Based Medicine Subcommittee members identify the most important and relevant articles for consultation-liaison (C-L) psychiatrists to know and publish annotations on those articles. To identify the top ten most important articles from the past year, all subcommittee members are invited to evaluate the annotated articles, based on clinical importance and quality of scholarship. The workshop will highlight and discuss the identified top ten rated articles, published between July of 2021 and June of 2022. Dr. Close will discuss the methods of the subcommittee and the annotation section of the Academy website. The speakers are from various institutions and will each present two of the top ten papers. They will discuss the findings of each article, the relevance of the work for C-L psychiatrists, and the strengths and weaknesses of each study.

Results: Based on the first 6 months of data, we expect to present studies on topics such as advances in tele-psychiatric collaborative care, traumatic stress following surgery, acute agitation medications, delirium, effects of climate change on youth mental health, and barriers to HIV PrEP use. At of the time of abstract submission, the 2021-2022 academic year will not have been complete, therefore, there may be excellent articles that are published and included in the top ten between the abstract submission and workshop presentation.

Conclusions: The workshop will provide C-L psychiatrists with an overview of the 10 most relevant and important articles from the past academic year. Understanding the most relevant research and updates from various sub-topic areas of the field will help busy practitioners stay abreast of new high yield information. The workshop will also highlight the ongoing utility of the annotated abstract section of the Academy website, which includes approximately 100 new entries per year.
