The records of 148 geriatric patients discharged from the Royal Ottawa Hospital over an 18-month period were studied. The readmission rate, 38%, was similar to that of all inpatients in this hospital. The largest diagnostic category was depressive neurosis. More women than men had diagnoses of affective disorders, while more men had organic brain disease; these differences were statistically significant. The average length of hospital stay was 25 days. Those patients with diagnoses of organic brain disease and alcoholism had shorter stays than those with affective disorders. The implications of these findings in terms of setting up a psychogeriatric unit are discussed.
对渥太华皇家医院18个月期间出院的148名老年患者的记录进行了研究。再入院率为38%，与该医院所有住院患者的再入院率相似。最大的诊断类别是抑郁性神经症。被诊断患有情感障碍的女性多于男性，而患有器质性脑疾病的男性多于女性；这些差异具有统计学意义。平均住院时间为25天。被诊断患有器质性脑疾病和酗酒的患者住院时间比患有情感障碍的患者短。讨论了这些研究结果对建立老年精神科病房的意义。
