Area of Science:

  • Geriatric Psychiatry
  • Health Services Research
  • Epidemiology

Context:

  • Geriatric psychiatry services in Denmark were examined in 1997.
  • Admission trends for elderly patients in psychiatric hospitals were analyzed from 1988 to 1996.

Purpose:

  • To describe the provision of geriatric psychiatric services in Denmark.
  • To identify trends in psychiatric hospital admission patterns for the elderly.

Summary:

  • Data from the Danish Psychiatric Case Register and a national questionnaire revealed significant changes.
  • Admissions and length of stay for demented patients decreased, while admissions for other diagnoses increased.
  • Four counties lacked dedicated geriatric psychiatry units, indicating geographical disparities in service provision and target groups.

Impact:

  • Findings reveal considerable geographical variations in service supply and target groups.
  • Unequal access to geriatric psychiatric services necessitates a re-evaluation of future service provision strategies.
