First outpatient follow-up after psychiatric hospitalization: does one size fit all?
This study examined the timing of first outpatient follow-up and subsequent health care utilization for adults with serious mental illness (major depression or schizophrenia) and comorbid general medical conditions. It found that for patients not readmitted within 30 days, follow-up within 30 days appeared to be beneficial on the basis of subsequent service utilization.

The purpose of this study is to characterize the impact of hepatitis coinfection on utilization of primary HIV care, mental health, and inpatient services. It found no difference in primary HIV care utilization according to hepatitis serostatus. However, patients with HIV/HCV coinfection demonstrated higher rates of mental health visits than any of the other groups examined.

Comparative effectiveness of injectable paliperidone palmitate versus oral atypical antipsychotics: early postmarketing evidence.
The researchers compared the likelihood of hospitalization and emergency department visits in Medicaid patients from the state of Missouri starting paliperidone palmitate versus oral atypical (also known as second-generation) antipsychotics. They found that paliperidone palmitate treatment resulted in a statistically significant 37 percent reduction in the adjusted likelihood of an all-cause emergency department visit. There was no statistically significant reduction in hospitalization.
