Objectives: To examine whether discharge destination is a useful predictor variable for the length of admission within psychiatric intensive care units (PICUs).
Methods: A clinician-led process separated PICU admissions by discharge destination into three types and suggested other possible variables associated with length of stay. Subsequently, a retrospective study gathered proposed predictor variable data from a total of 368 admissions from four PICUs.
