These results suggest that 42% of the laryngectomees tested may have benefited from further medical treatment. After laryngectomy, pulmonary function assessment was performed elsewhere in 1 of 59 cases. In light of the high prevalence of airway obstruction in laryngectomees, more frequent postoperative assessments of pulmonary function should be offered to prevent or to reduce impairment of respiratory function in this postlaryngectomy vulnerable pulmonary status. Further studies are also needed to determine the effects of therapeutic intervention, e.g., assessment of therapy outcome and influence on quality of life.

Zusammenfassung Ziel der Studie Wir untersuchen die alltagsrelevanten und klinischen Auswirkungen der aktuellen Corona-Krise auf Menschen mit vorbestehenden psychischen Erkrankungen. Methode Neben der klinischen Untersuchung wurde den Patienten, die sich derzeit in unserer stationären oder ambulanten Behandlung befinden, ein standardisierter Fragebogen zur subjektiven Belastung und psychiatrischen Versorgung ausgehändigt. Ergebnisse Mehr als die Hälfte der Befragten sah eine Verschlechterung der psychischen Erkrankung durch den Ausnahmezustand. Schwerer Erkrankte waren stärker belastet. Schlussfolgerung Patienten mit psychischen Erkrankungen stellen in der gegenwärtigen Krise eine besonders vulnerable Gruppe dar. Es bedarf einer Anpassung der psychiatrischen und psychotherapeutischen Versorgung; spezifische Belastungen müssen bei Patienten mit allen Diagnosegruppen aktiv erfragt werden.
