  • Title: Characteristics of general hospital patients referred for psychiatric consultation.
    Author: Bustamente JP, Ford CV.
    Journal: J Clin Psychiatry; 1981 Sep; 42(9):338-41. PubMed ID: 7275940.
    Abstract:
    An analysis of 151 psychiatric consultations at a large publicly supported teaching hospital indicated that referral rates were greater from the medical services as compared with the surgical services. Minorities, elderly, and widowed persons were underrepresented. Depression and organic brain syndromes were the most common diagnoses and the presence of an organic brain syndrome had been frequently missed by the referring physician.
