The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of IDD among long-stay inpatients in Ontario psychiatric beds, and compare the demographic and clinical profiles of long-stay inpatients with and without IDD.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Methods<\/strong> \u2014 This Ontario population-based cross-sectional study used linked health administrative databases. All patients over 18 years of age occupying a non-forensic psychiatric inpatient bed in Ontario on September 30th, 2023 were included in the analysis. We examined prevalence of IDD among patients with a length of stay (LOS) \u2265365 days (\u2018long-stay patients\u2019). Standardised differences were used to compare demographic, clinical, functional, and health care utilisation characteristics between patients with and without IDD.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Results<\/strong> \u2014 Of the 1,466 long-stay patients in an Ontario non-forensic psychiatric inpatient bed, 22.0% had IDD. They were younger (mean age 44.3 vs. 47.6) and a higher proportion were male (64.3% vs. 50.1%). In the 2 years prior to admission, a higher proportion of long-stay patients with IDD had a psychotic disorder (73.3% vs. 54.0%), and they had a higher median number of ED visits (5 vs. 3). Long-stay inpatients with IDD were more likely to have difficulty with activities of daily living (39.8% vs. 15.0%), moderate\/severe cognitive impairment (63.0% vs. 29.9%) and fewer social contacts in place to support discharge (59.3% vs. 48.6%). While in hospital, a greater proportion of long-stay patients with IDD were subject to restraints (12.4% vs. 8.0%) and seclusion (20.2% vs. 11.2%).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusions<\/strong> \u2014 Adults with IDD account for more than one in five long-stay psychiatric inpatients and have unique needs including greater cognitive impairment and difficulty caring for themselves. Successful transitions out of hospital require specialised resources and cross-sectoral collaboration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Objective \u2014 Patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs) and psychiatric disorders are at higher risk for prolonged hospitalisations.
