Abstract
BACKGROUND Due to increased cardiometabolic risks and premature mortality in people with severe mental illness (SMI), monitoring cardiometabolic health is considered essential. We aimed to analyse screening rates and prevalences of cardiometabolic risks in routine mental healthcare and its associations with patient and disease characteristics. METHODS We collected screening data in SMI from three mental healthcare institutions in the Netherlands, using most complete data on the five main metabolic syndrome (MetS) criteria (waist circumference, blood pressure, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, fasting blood glucose) within a 30-day timeframe in 2019/2020. We determined screened patients' cardiometabolic risks and analysed associations with patient and disease characteristics using multiple logistic regression. RESULTS In 5037 patients, screening rates ranged from 28.8% (waist circumference) to 76.4% (fasting blood glucose) within 2019-2020, and 7.6% had a complete measurement of all five MetS criteria. Older patients, men and patients with psychotic disorders had higher odds of being screened. Without regarding medication use, risk prevalences ranged from 29.6% (fasting blood glucose) to 56.8% (blood pressure), and 48.6% had MetS. Gender and age were particularly associated with odds for individual risk factors. Cardiometabolic risk was present regardless of illness severity and did generally not differ substantially between diagnoses, in-/outpatients and institutions. CONCLUSIONS Despite increased urgency and guideline development for cardiometabolic health in SMI last decades, screening rates are still low, and the MetS prevalence across screened patients is almost twice that of the general population. More intensive implementation strategies are needed to translate policies into action to improve cardiometabolic health in SMI.

Abstract
To assess the effect of aerobic exercise (AZ) on global cognition and different cognition domains in patients with schizophrenia (SZ) in daily care. Selection of the literature was done through the Pubmed, Web of Science, Embase and Cochrane Library databases. Standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the effect of AZ on cognition of SZ patients. All assessment indicators were subjected to sensitivity analysis to test the stability of the result. Subgroup analysis was conducted on study type, follow-up time, supervisor and control method. Totally, 23 articles enrolling 1014 participants were included. The global cognition of SZ patients was improved after 6 months of follow-up. AE guided by an occupational therapist improved the global cognition of SZ patients. AE was associated with improved verbal learning and memory, reasoning and problem solving (SMD: 0.375, 95%CI: 0.009 to 0.741, P = 0.045). However, effects on speed of processing, attention/vigilance, work memory, visual learning and memory, social cognition were not significant. The effect of AE training on global cognition may be maintained over the long-term, and be domain specific. Patients with SZ can do AE guided by professional occupational therapist in their daily lives settings.

Abstract
Economic evaluations of lifestyle interventions for people with mental illness are needed to inform policymakers and managers about implementing such interventions and corresponding reforms in routine mental healthcare. We aimed to evaluate changes in healthcare costs 18 months after the implementation of a multidisciplinary lifestyle-enhancing treatment for inpatients with severe mental illness (MULTI) versus treatment as usual (TAU). In a cohort study (n = 114; 65 MULTI, 49 TAU), we retrospectively retrieved cost data in Euros on all patient sessions, ward stay, medication use, and hospital referrals in the quarter year at the start of MULTI (Q1 2014) and after its evaluation (Q3 2015). We used linear regression analyses correcting for baseline values and differences between groups, calculated deterministic incremental cost-effectiveness ratios for previously shown changes in physical activity, metabolic health, psychosocial functioning, and additionally quality of life, and performed probabilistic sensitivity analyses including cost-effectiveness planes. Adjusted regression showed reduced total costs per patient per quarter year in favor of MULTI (B = -736.30, 95%CI: -2145.2 to 672.6). Corresponding probabilistic sensitivity analyses accounting for uncertainty surrounding the parameters showed statistically non-significant cost savings against health improvements for all health-related outcomes in MULTI compared to TAU. It is concluded that MULTI did not increase healthcare costs while improving health outcomes. This indicates that starting lifestyle interventions does not need to be hampered by costs. Potential societal and economic value may justify investment to support implementation and maintenance. Further research is needed to study this hypothesis.

Abstract
The scandal of premature mortality in people with serious mental illness is well established. Despite an increase in studies evaluating the efficacy of lifestyle interventions, translating this evidence into routine clinical care and policies is challenging, in part due to limited effectiveness or implementation research. We highlight the challenge of implementation that is increasingly recognized in clinical practice, advocate for adopting implementation science to study the implementation and systematic update of effective interventions in practice and policy, and provide directions for future research.

Implementation barriers and facilitators of an integrated multidisciplinary lifestyle enhancing treatment for inpatients with severe mental illness: the MULTI study IV. BMC Health Serv Res 2019; 19:740. [PMID: 31640706 PMCID: PMC6806487 DOI: 10.1186/s12913-019-4608-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2018] [Accepted: 10/03/2019] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite an increase in studies showing the efficacy of lifestyle interventions in improving the poor health outcomes for people with severe mental illness (SMI), routine implementation remains ad hoc. Recently, a multidisciplinary lifestyle enhancing treatment for inpatients with SMI (MULTI) was implemented as part of routine care at a long-term inpatient facility in the Netherlands, resulting in significant health improvements after 18 months. The current study aimed to identify barriers and facilitators of its implementation. METHODS Determinants associated with the implementation of MULTI, related to the innovation, the users (patients, the healthcare professionals (HCPs)), and the organisational context, were assessed at the three wards that delivered MULTI. The evidence-based Measurement Instrument for Determinants of Innovations was used to assess determinants (29 items), each measured through a 5-point Likert scale and additional open-ended questions. We considered determinants to which ≥20% of the HCPs or patients responded negatively ("totally disagree/disagree", score < 3) as barriers and to which ≥80% of HCPs or patients responded positively ("agree/totally agree", score > 3) as facilitators. We included responses to open-ended questions if the topic was mentioned by ≥2 HCPs or patients. In total 50 HCPs (online questionnaire) and 46 patients (semi-structured interview) were invited to participate in the study. RESULTS Participating HCPs (n = 42) mentioned organisational factors as the strongest barriers (e.g. organisational changes and financial resources). Patients (n = 33) mentioned the complexity of participating in MULTI as the main barrier, which could partly be due to organisational factors (e.g. lack of time for nurses to improve tailoring). The implementation was facilitated by positive attitudes of HCPs and patients towards MULTI, including their own role in it. Open responses of HCPs and patients showed strong commitment, collaboration and ownership towards MULTI. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study analysing the implementation of a pragmatic lifestyle intervention targeting SMI inpatients in routine clinical care. Positive attitudes of both HCPs and patients towards such an approach facilitated the implementation of MULTI. We suggest that strategies addressing organisational implementation barriers are needed to further improve and maintain MULTI, to succeed in achieving positive health-related outcomes in inpatients with SMI.
