    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Neurology
    • General Medicine

    Background:

    • Acute brain syndrome (ABS) is a common yet complex condition presenting in general hospital settings.
    • Early identification and classification of ABS are crucial for effective patient management.
    • Psychiatric consultations play a vital role in diagnosing and managing ABS in non-psychiatric wards.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To classify acute brain syndrome presentations based on symptom profiles.
    • To determine the incidence of acute brain syndrome in a large general hospital population.
    • To outline treatment strategies for different acute brain syndrome subtypes.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective analysis of 54,942 general hospital patients over five years.
    • Inclusion of cases identified through psychiatric consultations.

  • Classification of acute brain syndrome into four distinct groups based on presenting symptoms: lethargic, bewildered, agitated, and psychotic.

    • Main Results:

    • Four hundred and nine cases of acute brain syndrome were identified.
    • The identified cases were categorized into four primary symptom clusters.
    • Treatment modalities included reality orientation, protective measures, and pharmacologic interventions.

    Conclusions:

    • Acute brain syndrome presents with diverse symptom profiles in general hospital patients.
    • A systematic approach to classification aids in understanding ABS prevalence.
    • Multifaceted treatment strategies are essential for managing acute brain syndrome effectively.
