title: [Hospitalization of psychiatric patients--Mokotow residents during the years 1982-1985].
abstract: Persons-based (N = 3340) data on point, one year and four year prevalence of hospitalization in 1982-1985 in Mokotów general population are presented. The new definition of a year prevalence is proposed. It comprises not only inpatients treated during this year but also those who where hospitalized before and after this year in an observation period (patients in intermission). The study revealed that one year prevalence in Mokotów district amounts to 55 per 10 thousand population. Out of these 40% of patients are in intermission period. Patients suffering from schizophrenia, alcohol-abuse and affective disorder accounts for three quarter of point prevalence (corresponding percentages are 48%, 16%, 10%). The results of the study are valuable for estimation of needs for extramural care.
