Medical and psychiatric profiling of adults admitted to general adult psychiatry wards

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational, cross-sectional project will sequentially recruit 100 adults aged 18–65 admitted to NHS general adult psychiatry (GAP) inpatient wards at St John's Hospital. Participants will complete standard diagnostic questionnaires and severity rating scales and researchers will perform a systematic review of case notes, taking about an hour in total. The collected data will be used to characterise both psychiatric and general medical comorbidities and to estimate how many GAP inpatients would typically be excluded from clinical trials. These results will provide a baseline to compare 'real world' inpatient profiles with participants in prior clinical trials and help explain gaps between trial results and clinical outcomes.
