Abstract

We aimed at determining differential characteristics of patients treated by a home treatment (HT) team compared to patients treated on hospital wards. Of 412 consecutively admitted patients, 194 (47.1%) were at least partially treated at home, whereas 218 (52.9%) received inpatient treatment only during an episode of acute illness. A multivariate logistic regression model identified current employment to increase the odds of HT (p < 0.001). A primary diagnosis of anxiety or stress-related disorder (p < 0.001), other rare primary diagnoses such as personality disorders (p < 0.001), and more pronounced clinician-rated social problems (p = 0.041) decreased the odds of HT. Overall, it remained difficult to clearly specify suitability for HT based on available sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. This might indicate that responsible clinicians consider HT to be a viable alternative to hospital care and hence initiate HT for a relatively broad spectrum of patients.
