A preliminary study of excess mortality using a psychiatric case register
Systematic screening of death certificates referable to residents of two health districts covered by a psychiatric case register allows the study of excess mortality in unselected psychiatric patients from a defined area of known population. Deaths among the case register patients exceeded those expected by 80%; the relative risk was maximal during the first year after registration and was significantly raised in both sexes and in patients of all…
Changing demands made by senile dementia on the National Health Service
In 1976 and 1981 two studies were undertaken to identify the numbers of elderly severely mentally infirm patients receiving care in a range of institutions in Worcestershire and to examine the appropriateness of the special units planned for them. The numbers of planned places matched the totals of patients in care but the nature of the provision was wrong. The new units were planned for able bodied but demented patients, with a relatively low st…
Psychiatric day-care--the new chronic population
Psychiatric day-care in Birmingham
The first psychiatric day-hospital in the United Kingdom was established in 1946 through the initia- tive of Bierer. This innovation was received with some scepticism (Bierer, 1955) and five years passed before a second day-hospital was created. Interest gradually increased, and by 1959 there were at least 38 psychiatric day-hospitals In the early sixties the movement received an impetus from the drive to reduce the number of in-patient beds in m…
The dynamics of a long-stay mental hospital population
The census of all patients in psychiatric hospitals and units in England and Wales (Brooke, 1967) showed that the rundown of this inpatient popu lation, as forecast by Tooth and Brooke (1961), was being maintained in 1963. Since then other studies (Lancet leading article, 1969) have confirmed this continuing trend, although the rate of decline obviously varies from area to area. In the Birming ham Region, for example, the number of patients in re…
