In an overview of the research on psychiatric decision making in the emergency room, the authors discuss studies done between 1963 and 1977, which suffered from an overreliance on univariate statistical techniques, problems with the reliability and validity of the instruments used for data collection, and the lack of alternatives to hospitalization for emergency room patients. More recent studies of emergency room decision making are then reviewed, with particular attention to those that had multivariate statistical designs. The article concludes with a synthesis of the research findings to date and recommends multivariate approaches and choices of variables for future studies.
在一篇关于急诊室精神科决策研究的综述中，作者讨论了1963年至1977年间进行的研究，这些研究存在过度依赖单变量统计技术、数据收集所用工具的可靠性和有效性问题，以及急诊室患者除住院外缺乏其他选择的问题。接着回顾了最近关于急诊室决策的研究，特别关注那些采用多变量统计设计的研究。文章最后综合了迄今为止的研究结果，并为未来研究推荐了多变量方法和变量选择。
