Use of psychiatric hospitals and social integration of patients with psychiatric disorders: a prospective cohort study in five European countries
associated with a decrease in friendship contacts (OR =1.15, 95CI % 1.08–1.22, p=0.03). Conclusions : Results suggest that a longer hospital LoS is more strongly associated with a decrease in patients’ social ...
