BackgroundReproducibility is a cornerstone of scientific advancement; however, many published works may lack the core components needed for study reproducibility.AimsIn this study, we evaluate the state of transparency and reproducibility in the field of psychiatry using specific indicators as proxies for these practices.MethodsAn increasing number of publications have investigated indicators of reproducibility, including research by Harwicke et al, from which we based the methodology for our observational, cross-sectional study. From a random 5-year sample of 300 publications in PubMed-indexed psychiatry journals, two researchers extracted data in a duplicate, blinded fashion using a piloted Google form. The publications were examined for indicators of reproducibility and transparency, which included availability of: materials, data, protocol, analysis script, open-access, conflict of interest, funding and online preregistration.ResultsThis study ultimately evaluated 296 randomly-selected publications with a 3.20 median impact factor. Only 107 were available online. Most primary authors originated from USA, UK and the Netherlands. The top three publication types were cohort studies, surveys and clinical trials. Regarding indicators of reproducibility, 17 publications gave access to necessary materials, four provided in-depth protocol and one contained raw data required to reproduce the outcomes. One publication offered its analysis script on request; four provided a protocol availability statement. Only 107 publications were publicly available: 13 were registered in online repositories and four, ten and eight publications included their hypothesis, methods and analysis, respectively. Conflict of interest was addressed by 177 and reported by 31 publications. Of 185 publications with a funding statement, 153 publications were funded and 32 were unfunded.ConclusionsCurrently, Psychiatry research has significant potential to improve adherence to reproducibility and transparency practices. Thus, this study presents a reference point for the state of reproducibility and transparency in Psychiatry literature. Future assessments are recommended to evaluate and encourage progress.

Drug Errors

Avaliar a prevalência de erros de prescrição de medicamentos em uma instituição de utilidade pública do Vale do Aço/Minas Gerais. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, transversal, por meio de uma abordagem qualiquantitativa. As informações foram coletadas por meio de uma amostra de 150 prescrições de uma instituição de utilidade pública da região, na qual foram contabilizados os erros, a partir de uma análise quanto a: legibilidade, rasuras, emendas, abreviaturas, nome do medicamento, concentração, unidade de medida, forma farmacêutica, intervalo de administração, dosagem, quantidade, via de administração, tempo de tratamento e orientações sobre administração, no período de março a setembro de 2015. Detectou-se o predomínio de alguns erros, tais como: ilegibilidade, presença de rasuras, presença apenas do nome fantasia, ausência do tempo de tratamento, ausência de concentração e ausência de unidade de medida. Diante desses problemas reforça-se a importância do seguimento de prescrições padronizadas, a fim de aumentar a adesão ao tratamento e, assim, reduzir ocorrências relacionadas aos erros destas, fato que pode ser aprimorado pelo diálogo interdisciplinar.Palavras-chave: Erros de Medicação. Ilegibilidade. Interdisciplinariedade.AbstractTo evaluate the prevalence of prescription drug errors in a public utility institution Valley Steel / Minas Gerais. This was a descriptive cross-sectional study, by means of a quali-quantitative approach. Since the information was collected through a sample of 150 prescriptions of a public utility institution in the region in which the errors were recorded, from an analysis as to: Readability, erasures, amendments, abbreviations, drug name, concentration measured unit dosage form, dosing interval, dosage, quantity, route of administration, duration of treatment and administration of guidelines. We detected the predominance of some errors, such as illegibility, presence of erasures, only the presence of fancy name, absence of treatment time, lack of concentration and lack of measurement unit. In view of these problems reinforces the importance of following standard requirements in order to increase adherence to treatment and thus reduce incidents related to these errors, which can be enhanced by interdisciplinary dialogue.Keywords: Medication Errors.

42 Background: The prevalence of depressive disorders in patients with malignancies is estimated at 20-50%, significantly greater than the general population. Existing literature reports a negative impact of depression on both the patient and their families. There is limited information regarding the impact of healthcare coverage on the prevalence of depression in such patients both in the state of Nevada and nationwide. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was performed using the Behavioral Risk Surveillance System (BRFSS) database from 2010 to 2014. All adult subjects with a history of malignancy were included. Demographic factors and health care coverage were reviewed. Individuals with skin cancer as well as those with missing data were excluded. Patients were assigned to two groups based on their insurance coverage status. Study population was further stratified into Nevada and non-Nevada residents and analyzed. Association between depression and health care coverage across the study groups were assessed using Pearson chi-square test and regression models. Results: 183,530 subjects nationwide met our inclusion criteria. The Nevada population represented 1% (1676) of the total study sample. In Nevada, the prevalence of cancer patients without healthcare coverage was 7.5% (N = 126) compared to individuals with coverage 92% (N = 1550). This is significantly higher when compared to the national average of 4.9 % without coverage (p = 0.001). Overall, the rate of depression in cancer patients with no healthcare coverage nationally was notably higher compared to those with coverage (37.5% vs 22.7%, p = 0.001). Similarly, statistically higher rates of depression were noted in non-insured Nevada patients compared to those insured [49 (38.8%) vs. 357 (23%), p 0.001)]. Conclusions: This study demonstrates significant association between depression and lack of insurance coverage; both nationwide as well as in the state of Nevada. The proportion of uninsured Nevada residents with malignancies were higher compared to the national average. Improved and early screening for depression is crucial in mitigating the potential complications and morbidity associated with depression in patients with cancer.
