The main subject of this study was the link between social indicators and the (re)admission rates for, and length of stay in, in-patient mental health care in Amsterdam. In a factor analysis of 15 sociodemographic variables, two principal components analysis factors were distinguished: housing quality and socioeconomic deprivation. The census variables and the factors almost all had high correlations with the crude admission rates as well as the rates standardised for age and sex. In general, the correlations with rates that were also standardised for marital status were significantly lower. This shows that many correlations between indicators and crude rates are determined to a significant extent by the marital status profile of an area. Socioeconomic deprivation is positively correlated with the proportion of readmissions and inversely correlated with average length of stay.
本研究的主要主题是社会指标与阿姆斯特丹住院精神卫生保健的（再）入院率及住院时长之间的联系。在对15个社会人口统计学变量进行的因子分析中，区分出了两个主成分分析因子：住房质量和社会经济剥夺。普查变量及这些因子几乎都与粗入院率以及按年龄和性别标准化后的比率高度相关。总体而言，与按婚姻状况也进行了标准化的比率之间的相关性显著更低。这表明指标与粗率之间的许多相关性在很大程度上由一个地区的婚姻状况分布所决定。社会经济剥夺与再入院比例呈正相关，与平均住院时长呈负相关。
