The psychiatric case registers for the hospital catchment area were examined to determine the use of psychiatric services over a 14-year period by a 4-year cohort of consecutive inpatient referrals to the consultation-liaison service of a British general hospital. Two-thirds of the subjects had no other psychiatric care during the survey period, but a third made considerable use of a wide range of specialist psychiatric services. Alcohol problems and dementia were notably associated with complex history of psychiatric management. Management of patients with repeated episodes of psychiatric care requires close collaboration with other services.
对该医院服务区域内的精神病病例登记进行了检查，以确定在14年期间，一组连续4年被转诊至一家英国综合医院会诊联络服务部门的住院患者对精神科服务的使用情况。在调查期间，三分之二的受试者未接受其他精神科护理，但三分之一的受试者大量使用了广泛的专科精神科服务。酒精问题和痴呆症与复杂的精神科治疗史显著相关。对有多次精神科护理经历的患者进行管理需要与其他服务部门密切合作。
