To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of short-term (three month maximum length of stay) and long-term (discharge based on clinical judgement) hospitalization, the inhospital course of 68 "short-" and 58 "long-term" psychiatric patients was studied. The results indicate that patients assigned without bias to short-term patterns, however, indicated that these results could be entirely accounted for by the significantly greater use of group therapy as an additional treatment modality in the short-term units. The need for a more systematic exploration of the effect of restricted hospital stay on the treatment patterns of the clinician and the effect of these differential treatment patterns on inhospital improvement is emphasized. The necessity for follow-up data to gain a complete picture of these treatment contrasts is clear.
为评估短期（最长住院时间为三个月）和长期（根据临床判断出院）住院治疗的临床效果，对68名“短期”和58名“长期”精神病患者的住院病程进行了研究。结果表明，尽管无偏差地分配到短期模式的患者表明，这些结果完全可以由短期病房中作为额外治疗方式的团体治疗使用频率显著更高来解释。强调需要更系统地探究住院时间受限对临床医生治疗模式的影响，以及这些不同治疗模式对住院病情改善的影响。显然需要随访数据以全面了解这些治疗差异。
