Long-term hospitalizations for schizophrenia in the Czech Republic 1998-2012
Original language description
Deinstitutionalization has not been pursued in the post-communist Europe until recently. The population of psy- 20 chiatric patients institutionalized in the regional mental hospitals is, however, largely understudied. The aim of 21 this study is to assess discharges of long-term inpatients with schizophrenia from Czech psychiatric hospitals 22 and to analyse re-hospitalizations within this group. The nationwide register of all-cause inpatient hospitaliza- 23 tionswasmergedwith the nationwide register of all-cause deaths on an individual level basis. Descriptive statis- 24 tics, survival analysis and logistic regression were performed. 3601 patients with schizophrenia previously 25 hospitalized formore than a yearwere discharged fromCzechmental hospitals between 1998 and 2012. This in- 26 cluded 260 patients hospitalized for N20 years. Nearly one fifth (n=707) of the long-term patients died during 27 the hospitalization; and discharges of 19.36% (n=) were only administrative in their nature. Out of 2197 truly 28 discharged patients, 14.88% (n = 327) were re-hospitalized within 2 weeks after the discharge. The highest 29 odds of rehospitalization were associated with being discharged against medical advice (OR 5.27, CI: 3.77- 30 7.35, p b 0.001). These data are important for the ongoing mental health care reforms in the Czech Republic 31 and other countries in the Central and Eastern Europe.
