The purpose of this investigation was to find out the number of hospitalizations of alcoholics in a department of psychiatry throughout one year. Further, some characteristics of the patients were noted. The information was gathered from case sheets of patients who had been hospitalized in the period 01.10.96-30.09.97, and who were given a F10.x diagnosis from the ICD-10 system. The investigation showed that about one fifth of the patients hospitalized in the department were alcoholics. Fore more than half of these patients, the reason for hospitalization was for treatment that according to guidelines should have been given in an outpatient setting. The study confirms that there is a need for facilities for inpatient treatment for alcoholics, and that offering outpatient detoxification is not sufficient.
本次调查的目的是查明某精神科一年内酗酒者的住院人数。此外，还记录了患者的一些特征。信息收集自1996年10月1日至1997年9月30日期间住院、且根据国际疾病分类第十版（ICD - 10）系统被诊断为F10.x的患者病历。调查显示，该科室住院患者中约五分之一是酗酒者。在这些患者中，超过一半的人住院原因是本应按指南在门诊进行的治疗。该研究证实，需要为酗酒者提供住院治疗设施，仅提供门诊戒毒是不够的。
