Emergency department visits and revisits in children's hospitals that are related to mental health are 'increasing rapidly,' a new study suggests.
Emergency department visits and revisits in children's hospitals that are related to mental health are "increasing rapidly," a new study suggests.
"However, the significant increase in the raw number of revisits is still concerning," the researchers added in their study. The researchers examined how many visits included diagnoses of mental health disorders or intentional self-harm. They also analyzed mental health revisits, meaning a patient visited the emergency department again within six months of their initial visit.
The data showed that 13.2% of mental health emergency department visits had a revisit within six months. Patients with diagnoses associated with behavior disturbance, including disruptive or impulse control disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders and psychotic disorders, were at the highest risk of revisiting. Patients with substance use disorders were less likely to return to the emergency department.
