Abstract

Patient characterization and evaluation of gerontopsychiatric inpatient equivalent treatment (IEHT-G) in a large German city. Collection of sociodemographic and clinical data, as well as assessment of clinical severity (CGI), health and social functioning (HoNOS-D) and autonomous performance of activities of daily living (IADL) at the beginning and end of IEHT-G. 53 subjects (age: MW=74.81; 77.4% women) were analyzed. Main psychiatric diagnoses were affective disorders (n=25), schizophrenia and schizotypal disorders (n=20). 12 patients (22.64%) had a cognitive disorder. The CGI, HoNOS-D and IADL showed a significant improvement over the treatment period (paired t-test, p<0.001). In an urban gerontopsychiatric population, IEHT-G can be implemented well. Symptom severity, social functioning and autonomy improved significantly.
