The authors present a revised equation by which the ratio of beds occupied by short- and long-term patients can be calculated. In 1984, 8.2% of the beds were occupied by short-stay somatic patients, compared to 2.17% occupied by short-stay psychogeriatric patients, the dividing line between short-stay and long-stay patients being 6 months. These data are also compared with those in 1985. In the latter year a distinction is made between somatic short-stay patients who died, and other somatic short-stay patients.
作者提出了一个修正公式，通过该公式可以计算短期和长期患者占用床位的比例。1984年，短期住院的躯体疾病患者占用了8.2%的床位，相比之下，短期住院的老年精神疾病患者占用了2.17%的床位，短期和长期患者的分界线为6个月。这些数据也与1985年的数据进行了比较。在1985年，区分了死亡的躯体疾病短期住院患者和其他躯体疾病短期住院患者。
