What this trial studies

This observational study aims to compare the rates of re-hospitalization at 3 and 6 months for patients with severe disruptive behavior disorders who receive care in a Cognitive Behavioural Unit (UCC) versus those in a Geriatric Follow-up and Rehabilitation Care Unit (SSR). It is a multicentric, non-interventional study that collects various data points, including socio-educational levels, comorbidities, cognitive evaluations, and treatment details. Patients aged 70 and older who meet specific criteria will be included, and follow-up data will be gathered through questionnaires administered to patients or their caregivers.
