Is frequency of metabolic syndrome in psychiatric patients , this the time to develop a standardized protocol to reduce the morbidity from an acute care psychiatry unit?
Patients at high risk of developing metabolic syndrome need to be identified early so that an individualised care plan can be formulated. Identifying the variables to make a management plan is vital.
A comparison between our study group and those of 3 previous similar studies would not provide definitive statistical evidence, but it could certainly suggest a trend. The comparison seems to support that microvascular free tissue transfer does not change the survival of these patients.
