We examined health care utilization, clinical profiles (such as sociodemographic features, clinical severity), and outcomes (inpatient admission, revisit within 24 hours of discharge) of patients who were admitted to a 23-hour observation unit within the emergency service of a tertiary psychiatric hospital and hypothesized that a specific clinical profile (greater clinical severity, lower psychosocial functioning) predicted subsequent inpatient hospitalization.
