Few emergency department (ED) studies have examined how psychiatric comorbidity relates to hospitalisation decisions.
We assessed the relationship of psychiatric comorbidity to hospitalisation decisions among ED patients in the 2004 National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey.
Patients with psychiatric comorbidity were five times more likely to be hospitalised than patients with a single psychiatric diagnosis. The most frequent psychiatric comorbidities involved substance use disorders (SUDs).
Psychiatric disorders are underdiagnosed among ED patients. We believe that this underdiagnosis may be partly responsible for the high hospitalisation rates of ED patients with SUDs.
很少有急诊科(ED)研究探讨精神疾病共病与住院决策之间的关系。
我们在2004年全国医院门诊医疗调查中评估了急诊科患者精神疾病共病与住院决策之间的关系。
患有精神疾病共病的患者住院可能性是单一精神疾病诊断患者的五倍。最常见的精神疾病共病涉及物质使用障碍(SUDs)。
急诊科患者中精神疾病诊断不足。我们认为这种诊断不足可能部分导致了患有物质使用障碍的急诊科患者的高住院率。
