Data from 105 psychiatric patients in the adolescent, young adult, and older adult age ranges and in various diagnosis-related groups confirmed the hypothesis that patients' length of stay in a hospital for a psychiatric disorder is increased by greater amounts of stress and decreased by higher levels of functioning. The authors propose a formula, length of stay = function of axis IV score/axis V score, to test this relationship. The findings point to a potentially useful approach for making decisions on length of stay, i.e., the use of more reliable scales than the global rating scale of axis V in DSM-III.
来自105名处于青少年、青年和老年年龄段且分属不同诊断相关组别的精神病患者的数据证实了这一假设：患有精神疾病的患者在医院的住院时间会因压力增大而延长，因功能水平提高而缩短。作者提出了一个公式，即住院时间=轴IV分数/轴V分数的函数，以检验这种关系。研究结果指出了一种在确定住院时间时可能有用的方法，即在确定住院时间时采用比《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第三版轴V的整体评定量表更可靠的量表。
