Objective: In this study, we aimed to investigate the variables that predict the length of hospital stay and recurrent admission within one year after discharge in psychiatric disorders with psychotic symptoms. Method: The study was conducted with the data of patients who were treated in the inpatient depart- ment of the psychiatry department of Gazi University between 2005-2016. Psychiatric disorders with psy- chotic symptoms were included in the study. ICD-10 was used as the basis for diagnosis. A total of 1670 data of patients were included in the analysis, inclu- ding 1301 single admission and 369 recurrent admis- sions. Only the initial admission record data of the patients were used in the analysis. Results: Significant variables that prolong the duration of hos- pital stay are schizophrenia diagnosis (β=0.186), female gender (β=-0.129), depression diagnosis (β=0.106), recurrent admission (β=0.099), diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder (β=0.055), and advanced age (β=0.053). 33.9% of patients with recurrent admission were readmitted within the first year. Variables predicting recurrent admission in the first year after first admission in patients with psychotic symptoms are, in order of importance; The absence of a diagnosis of schizophrenia (OR=0,368, p=0,002), a short hospital stay (OR=0,981, p=0,007) and no diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder (OR=0,333, p=0,011). Conclusion: Although the diagnosis of schizophrenia and schizoaffective disor- der are predictors that prolong hospital stay, they are significant predictors that reduce recurrent admis- sion. Although the presence of these disorders may seem contradictory at first glance, the prolonged hos- pital stay may prevent the re-hospitalization of these disorders in the first year. Although this is a predic- tion, the decrease in recurrent admission as the length of hospitalization supports this prediction. The relationship between the length of stay and recurrent hospitalization in psychiatric disorders accompanied by psychotic symptoms, especially schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder, should be considered in furt- her studies.
