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.
