  • Title: Psychiatric hospitalization: treatment or triage?
    Author: Pullen RL, Labbate LA.
    Journal: Mil Med; 1992 Dec; 157(12):634-6. PubMed ID: 1470372.
    Abstract:
    We examined the outcome of active duty psychiatric inpatients (N = 101) 2 years after admission. Most patients were young with minor diagnoses (adjustment disorders), yet only 20% were still on active duty 2 years later. This compared poorly with national retention rates for all lengths of time in service (p < 0.0001). Longer time in service and low severity of diagnosis predicted a better outcome. We discuss implications of these findings.
