title: Readmitted nonpsychotic patients and their eventual diagnoses. A retrospective study on 64 first-timers of inpatient care in the Psychiatric Clinic of Turku, Finland.
abstract: This longitudinal study was performed to characterise frequently readmitted patients in a sample of 64 first-timers of inpatient care. Half of the 12 revolving door patients were psychotic at last discharge. The relative risk for diagnostic change in the Axis I group was nine times higher than in the personality disorder group.
