Abstract

Data were gathered on 479 inpatients of two Israeli general hospitals for whom psychiatric consultations were requested over a 1-year period. The data presented here include age and sex of referred patients, source of referral, reason for referral, psychiatric and physical diagnoses, and consultant's recommendation. Emergency ward consultations are included. Additional data were collected on patients transferred to psychiatric wards. Our findings are similar in general to those reported from other countries, although such comparisons are limited by the lack of uniformity in the classifications used by the various workers.
