Understanding the intersections between ethnicity, area-level deprivation, and inpatient-related features amongst patients with psychotic disorders: a mental health electronic records analysis.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeEthnic and area-level deprivation disparities in psychiatric inpatient outcomes amongst patients with psychotic disorders are known. However, how these two variables intersect to influence features of inpatient care is unclear. We investigated this intersection.
methodsUsing de-identified electronic health data from inpatient services at a large south London mental healthcare provider, we identified a sample of 6767 working-age patients with non-affective psychotic disorders who were admitted between 2016 and 2019. Logistic and negative binomial regressions were used to examine the relationships between ethnicity (and then deprivation) with inpatient-related features (compulsory admission, psychiatric intensive unit admission, length of stay and number of admissions), adjusting for confounders. The sample was stratified by area-level deprivation to understand the intersection of ethnicity, deprivation and these inpatient-related features.
resultsPatients from all areas except the least deprived were at greater risk of compulsory admission, admission to psychiatric intensive care units and more frequent admissions compared with patients from the least deprived areas. All minoritised ethnic patients were more likely to be compulsorily admitted compared with White British patients. Living in the least deprived areas appeared to offer protection against compulsory admission for some ethnic minority groups, but not Black British or Asian patients.
conclusionsThis study showed how psychiatric inpatient-related features for patients with non-affective psychotic disorders were explained not only by the separate effects of area-level deprivation and ethnicity but also by the unique intersections of these two factors. Our findings have implications for policy and interventions aimed at reducing the drivers of inpatient admissions by addressing social stressors in deprived areas and among ethnic minority patients.
