[Analysis of the psychiatric emergency inpatients in an ER setting at a general hospital].

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.      «
