目的：低收入和中等收入国家的精神病学研究水平低，这已被确定为一个令人关切的问题，特别是因为许多低收入和中等收入国家的精神病治疗需求未得到满足的程度尚不清楚。本研究的目的是建立在过去的十年中，如果在研究出版物的全球范围内增加，包括在出版物中增加关于精神障碍从LAMI countries.Method：我们搜索PubMed的文章，精神障碍，抑郁症和精神分裂症使用的名称LAMI和高收入（HI）国家的机构附属地址（AD）领域发表在两个五年期间：1998-2002年和2003-2007年。然后，我们研究了人均精神障碍出版物与人均国内生产总值购买力平价（GDP ppp）、人均精神病床位、人均精神病医生、总人口以及国家是否有指定的精神卫生预算等自变量之间的关系。与HI国家的比例相比，LAMI国家的人均医学研究出版物数量以及有关精神障碍的出版物数量较低。然而，在研究的十年中，来自LAMI地区的出版物的绝对数量和关于精神障碍、精神分裂症和抑郁症的研究出版物的比例显著增加。国内生产总值购买力平价和人口规模之间有独立的关联，并在LAMI countries.Conclusions的精神障碍的出版物的速度：在过去的十年中，关于精神障碍的出版物的数量的整体增加可能反映了在LAMI国家的精神病学研究的增加。出版率的增长在人口最多的中等收入国家最大。
Objective: The low level of psychiatric research in low- and middle-income (LAMI) countries has been identified as a cause for concern, particularly because the extent of the unmet need for psychiatric treatment in many LAMI countries is not known. The aim of this study was to establish if the worldwide increase in research publication during the last decade included an increase in publication about mental disorders from LAMI countries.Method: We searched PubMed for articles about mental disorder, depression and schizophrenia using the names of LAMI and high-income (HI) countries in the institutional affiliation address (AD) field published during two five-year periods: 1998-2002 and 2003-2007. We then examined the relationship between per capita publications about mental disorder and the independent variables of per capita gross domestic product purchasing power parity (GDP ppp), per capita psychiatric beds, per capita psychiatrists, total population and whether the country had a designated mental health budget.Results: The number of medical research publications per capita, and the number of publications about mental disorder from LAMI countries is low when compared to the rate from HI countries. However, the absolute number of publications from LAMI regions and the proportion of research publications about mental disorder, schizophrenia and depression increased significantly during the decade of the study. There were independent associations between GDP ppp and population size and the rate of publications about mental disorder in LAMI countries.Conclusions: The overall increase in the number of publications about mental disorder in the last decade probably reflects an increase in psychiatric research in LAMI countries. The increase in rates of publication was greatest in middle-income countries with the largest populations.
