 The long-duration of hospitalization in Japanese psychiatric hospitals is mainly attributed to insufficient social support and community-based programs. Despite the attempts to establish these services, long-duration hospitalization remains a major issue. In this study, we aimed to compare the actual conditions of patients in the chronic wards (CWs) and acute wards (AWs).

 In 2008, data for a 3-month period were collected from a private psychiatric hospital in a suburb of Tokyo, using a psychiatric basic documentation system (DGPPN-BADO). Sociodemographic factors, treatment processes, and outcomes of a sample comprising of 115 CW patients and 75 AW patients were analyzed, especially with regard to schizophrenia and related disorders. Schizophrenia and related disorders accounted for 78.3% (n=90) and 54.7% (n=41) of the cases in the CW and AW, respectively. Compared to AW patients, CW patients were significantly older, more likely to be single, less educated more frequently rehospitalized, and more physically impaired. Scores for Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF), which is measurement of psychosocial functioning, and Clinical Global Impressions (CGI), which is measurement of severity of illness were almost equal for the CW patients at the time of this study and the AW patients at the time of admission. CW patients received polypharmacy and higher chlorpromazine-equivalent doses significantly more often than AW patients did. The CW patients had been in the ward for an average of 9.2 years up to the index period, and only 13.3% of the patients were discharged after 1 year. In contrast, most AW patients (90.2%) were discharged after an average of 90.3 days with more improvement in GAF and CGI scores.
