Ramón y Cajal Hospital is the reference hospital for area 4 (Madrid), which covers a population of more than 540.000 people. The psychiatric emergencies are one of the most frequent demands at the Emergency Department (ER)
Objectives |
• | Analysis of the cause of psychiatric demand and how it is made: who asks for help and who sends the patient to the hospital. |
• | Analysis of the syndromic diagnosis, derivation and therapeutical attitude at discharge. |
Material and methods |
With data from sample of 145 patients attended by the emergency psychiatry staff between the 15th - 30th August 2008, we performed a descriptive analysis using SSPS 15.0 version in Spanish
Results |

• | The most frequent syndromic diagnosis at discharge was “affective disorder” (23%),being usually derived to the local Mental Health Center (54%). Modifying the previous treatment after the consultation (37%) was nearly as frequent as leaving the previous one (35%).Starting a new treatment after consultation at the ER was rare (14%). |
