- AB OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of psychiatric disorders in
- inpatient PWA's (IPWA) v outpatient (OPWA), and inpatient HIV+
- asymptomatic (IHIV+) patients v outpatient (OHIV+). METHOD: Psychiatric
- consultations were performed on 675 IPWA and IHIV+ and 155 OPWA and
- OHIV+ from 1989-93. Diagnoses were based upon DSMIIIR criteria and
- confirmed by the authors; patients without confirmed diagnoses were
- excluded from analysis. Comparisons between IPWA and OPWA and between
- IHIV+ and OHIV+ were analyzed by chi square and ANOVA. RESULTS: Final
- sample sizes: IPWA N = 433, OPWA N = 91, IHIV+ N = 116, OHIV+ N = 55.
- Demographic comparisons revealed fewer women among inpatients (27% vs
- 34%, p < 0.05) and fewer black patients among outpatients (14% v 28%, p
- < 0.01), otherwise age, sex and ethnicity were similar in all groups.
- Diagnoses of dementia (22.4% v 8.8%, p < 0.01) and delirium (28.9% v
- 12.1%, p < 0.01) were more frequent in IPWA compared to OPWA.
- Conversely, adjustment disorder (31.9% v 13.2%, p < 0.01), major
- depression (16.5% v 1.4%, p < 0.01), and personality disorder (31.9% v
- 18.7%, p < 0.01) were all more frequent in OPWA compared to IPWA.
- Excluding dementia, which was not diagnosed in HIV+, a similar pattern
- of diagnostic frequencies was found when comparing OHIV+ and IHIV+:
- Adjustment disorder (38.2% v 12.9%, p < 0.01); major depression (10.9% v
- 1.7%, p < 0.05); personality disorder (49.1% v 31.9%, p < 0.05). The
- prevalence of a substance use disorder was high in both IHIV+ (63.8%)
- and OHIV+ (49.1%) but not significantly different. CONCLUSIONS: 1.
- Organic mental disorders, such as dementia and delirium were more
- frequent among HIV infected inpatients compared to outpatients
- regardless of disease stage. Outpatients, who were less acutely ill,
- were more likely to suffer from adjustment disorders, depression, or
- underlying personality disorder. 3. Substance use was high in both
- inpatients and outpatients and required specialized treatment.
