[Analysis of the psychiatric emergency inpatients in an ER setting at a general hospital]

Evaluation of psychiatric emergency contacts in an interdisciplinary emergency room.

We conducted a retrospective examination of all psychiatric consultations of 2015.

The three most common emergency syndromes could be assigned in descending order to the F1 (32.2%), the F2 (25.9%) and the F3 diagnoses (21.2%). The admission rate was 58.9% and more than half of the patients came to the emergency room on foot (55.7%). Diagnosis-specific differences were found between first-time presenters and patients who had presented previously.

The psychiatric emergency has high relevance in the emergency room. The majority of the patients admitted to hospital meet the emergency criteria according to the guideline.
