Admitting or Discharging Patients with Opiate or Alcohol Related Problems? Psychiatrist Uncertainty and Welfare Losses.

Background: Much attention has focused on variations in therapeutic strategies across catchment areas and the related question of whether the differences in attitudes are due to socio-economic variables in the studied population or to physician uncertainty about making a specific therapeutic recommendation.

Subjects And Method: We monitored the emergency admission rate for patients with alcohol or opiate related problems of 9 resident psychiatrists for a year. To rule out differences in population characteristics, the study took place in only one hospital: Brugmann University Hospital, whose catchment area is the north of Brussels.
