Abstract
OBJECTIVES
Evaluation of psychiatric emergency contacts in an interdisciplinary emergency room.
METHODS
We conducted a retrospective examination of all psychiatric consultations of 2015.
RESULTS
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.
CONCLUSION
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.
