title: [Characteristics of the revolving door syndrome at Louis-Hippolyte Lafontaine Hospital.].
abstract: This cross-sectional study involving questionnaires examines the influence of clinical and socio-demographic variables on read-missions to Louis-H. Lafontaine Hospital. Results show a close resemblance between the profile of the 1024 patients surveyed and that of the complex prototype identified by studies carried out in other countries. However, our clientele's characteristics offer a unique profile of open-door syndrome. The study's conclusion presents several recommendations to help provide more efficient services to the latter clientele.
