摘要：
Objective: To describe admissions to an inpatient psychiatric unit in Italy over a two-year period and explore the influence of demographics, clinical variables and organisational and context-related factors on length of stay. Methods: Data were obtained from clinical records and recorded by a psychiatrist through a proper checklist. Results: Shorter admissions involved patients with personality disorders and substance use disorders. Greater illness severity and difficulties in setting a post-discharge programme were associated with longer admissions. Conclusions: Clinical, organisational and context-related factors all had significant effects on length of stay.
