Reasons for hospitalization in patients diagnosed from the schizophrenia, schizotypal and delusional disorders
Abstract
The article addresses the issue of hospitalization of patients with diagnoses of schizophrenia, F20-F29, with a focus on indications for admission, method and type of admission and the total number of hospitalizations. Numbers of the so-called involuntary hospitalization, i.e. detentions, referring doctors, and the reasons that led to hospitalization were recorded.
At the same time, a comparison over time and comparison of gender was performed, to determine the differences between the numbers and the indications for hospitalization among men and women in the 2010-2014 period. The authors point out the specifics resulting from the nature of the diagnoses examined and in particular the need for teamwork between doctors of different specialties.
