Rising Incidence of Pediatric Catatonia and Medical Etiology: Multiyear Trends
Our study identified significantly increased pediatric catatonia incidence and frequency of medical etiology over the study period. There were also differences in the presentation, diagnostic results, and treatment by catatonia etiology. Protocols accounting for these differences and more comprehensive etiologic surveillance in pediatric patients could be valuable.
