Abstract:
The relationship between admission dates and patients' birthdays was examined for 200 psychiatric and 200 alcoholic patients from a Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Chi-squared analyses indicated that admission dates for subjects of both populations did not occur disproportionately close to their birthdays.
