Resumen En los últimos años se han suscitado cambios en la salud mental de las personas, debido a las diversas problemáticas sociodemográficas actuales. Se requiere de la exploración de los acontecimientos que causan síntomas psiquiátricos en las personas con necesidad de ingreso y hospitalización. Es por eso que se realizó este estudio retrospectivo sobre 1.593 historias clínicas del hospital psiquiátrico Main-Kinzig-Kreis Schlüchtern en Alemania durante el período 2000-2014 en pacientes de 18 a 69 años. Se identificó como motivo de ingreso a un 37.16% de personas como pacientes con síntomas agudos, una relación con consumos de sustancias provocadas por adicciones en un 41.62% y el trastorno depresivo en un 28.75%. Se detecta la descompensación de trastornos mentales graves en 27.05%, en donde el 34.71% de los pacientes fueron derivadas desde otros dispositivos asistenciales y el 32.89% decidió ingresar por sí mismo. El perfil del paciente ingresado es de ser hombre entre 41-50 años, casado o con pareja, derivado por recurso asistencial relacionado con la descompensación de un trastorno mental grave. Abstract In recent years, changes have occurred in people's mental health due to various current socio- demographic issues. The exploration of the events that cause psychiatric symptoms in people who need admission and hospitalization is required. That is why this retrospective study was conducted on 1.593 clinical history from the Main-Kinzig-Kreis Schlüchtern psychiatric hospital in Germany during the period 2000-2014 in patients aged 18 to 69. A total of 37.16% of the patients were identified as having acute symptoms, 41.62% as having substance abuse due to addiction and 28.75% as having a depressive disorder. Decompensation of severe mental disorders was detected in 27.05%, where 34.71% of the patients were referred from other care devices and 32.89% decided to be admitted on their own. The profile of the admitted patient is a man between 41-50 years old, married or with a partner, referred to the psychiatric hospital for health care resources due to a decompensation of some serious mental disorder.

This is a retrospective study of 173 consecutive admissions to a general psychiatric hospital. The aim was to establish the frequency and adequacy with which alcohol and tobacco use were recorded. Regarding alcohol, in 41% of the notes there was no adequate quantitative history, in 29.5% there was a descriptive mention and in 29.5% no history was recorded. Female patients were less likely to have an alcohol history taken than male patients. With tobacco, in 64% of the notes there was an adequate quantitative history, in 6.4% there was a descriptive comment and in 28.9% no history was recorded. It is to be stressed to all doctors that an assessment of alcohol and tobacco use should be made for every patient, whatever their age, gender or ethnic origin.

Age Dependency

SummaryThe growing populations of the elderly is frequently regarded as a homogeneous entity. In this retrospective study 140 patients above 60 years, first admitted to a psychiatric hospital, were screened for individual psychiatric symptoms. This was done according to the D.S.M.-III-R criteria and with the european ADMP-IV scoring system.As expected dementia and related disorders are characteristic of the “older” categories, depressieve disorders were seen more frequently in the “younger” categories. Screening the elderly for psychiatric symptoms also shows differentiation within the group of the older patients.Symptoms related to dementia increase in frequency, also increasing are e.g. visual hallucinations. A decrease was found for hypochondriasis and phobia. So, the group patients above 60 years is clearly heterogeneous.

Conviction Rate

A retrospective study was carried out on 78 men without previous convictions, who had had at least one admission to a psychiatric hospital of not less than 3 months before the age of 30. The subsequent conviction rate of these men was determined and found to be comparable to that of men of the same age in the general population. The significance of these findings is discussed.

Mortality Ratio

RiassuntoScopo - Il presente studio è stato condotto per determinare il rischio di mortalità nei pazienti psichiatrici lungo-degenti. Setting - Ex ospedale psichiatrico provinciale «F. Roncati» di Bologna. Disegno - Studio di coorte retrospettivo con un follow-up di dieci anni in cui si è calcolato il tasso di mortalità complessivo e disaggregato per diagnosi psichiatrica, durata del ricovero e condizione «ricoverato al termine del follow-up/dimesso», dei 264 pazienti degenti presso l'istituto l'1.1.1981. Misure utilizzate - I tassi di mortalità sono stati calcolati e successivamente confrontati utilizzando il Rapporto Standardizzato di Mortalità (Standardized Mortality Ratio - SMR). La standardizzazione per sesso e classi di età è avvenuta prendendo come riferimento la mortalita della popolazione residente a Bologna nel decennio 1981-1991. La presenza nella coorte dei singoli soggetti è stata misurata in anni-persona. Risultati - La condizione di de- gente comporta un eccesso di mortalità di 2.89 per gli uomini (IC 95%: 2.12-3.86) e di 2.38 (IC: 1.66-3.31) per le donne. Si è registrato inoltre un forte eccesso di mortalità per la classe di eta dai 15 ai 44 anni sia per gli uomini (18.33; IC: 9.14-32.81) che per le donne (60; IC: 21.91-130.6) e nei soggetti con diagnosi di caratteropatia/alcolismo (uomini, 11.25; IC: 5.13-21.36; donne, 5; IC: 1.35-12.8). Si è registrata infine una diminuzione dell'eccesso di mortalita al crescere della durata del ricovero e della eta dei pazienti. Conclusioni - Lo studio conferma l'esistenza di un forte rischio di mortalita associato alia condizione di paziente psichiatrico istituzionalizzato, concentrato soprattutto nelle classi d'età piu giovani, nei primi anni di ricovero e nei soggetti con diagnosi di caratteropatia/alcolismo.

<p>This retrospective study was conducted at Sterkfontein psychiatric hospital in Gauteng. The objectives included investigating reasons for referral to conduct an electroencephalography (EEG) and to determine whether EEG findings have impact on clinical management. Source data included EEG reports over an 18-month period and clinical records. The total sample was 85 adult inpatients (53 males; 32 females). Seizure disorder exclusion was the main reason for EEG referral (69.0%). Seventy-four (87.0%) records were normal, 7 (8.2%) were abnormal 2 (2.4%) were inconclusive and 2 (2.4%) EEG reports were unavailable. There was no statistically significant correlation between abnormal EEG results and demographic variables, symptoms admission diagnosis and medications. EEG recording demonstrated a low yield of abnormal results. In this study, EEG results did not appear to influence the treating psychiatrists regarding management, but this could be as a result of the small sample size. As interactions between psychiatric conditions and epilepsy are important and well established, negative EEGs are indeed useful and it is recommended that clinicians should carefully consider which patients should be referred for EEGs.</p>
