Abstract：
:The diagnosis of psychopathology among geriatric acute inpatients requires comprehensive evaluation. To our knowledge, no recently published papers in the geriatric psychiatry literature have systematically examined diagnostic changes during single admissions. We reviewed the charts of 159 patients consecutively admitted to an acute geriatric psychiatry unit over 18 months. We recorded admission diagnoses from initial treatment plans, and discharge diagnoses from discharge summaries. Mean patient age was 80 years and average length of stay was 17 days. The most common primary diagnoses were psychotic and depressive disorders. The most common secondary diagnoses were dementias and depressive disorders. Primary diagnoses changed from admission to discharge in 31 patients (20%), and secondary diagnoses changed in 76 patients (48%). There was a significant change involving the diagnosis of dementia, but not that of depressive or psychotic disorders. A large proportion of inpatients had their diagnoses altered, especially those involving dementias, during hospitalization. Inpatient admission may be valuable for clarifying the diagnoses of elderly psychiatric patients.
