BackgroundDementia is common in older people admitted to acute hospitals. There are concerns about the quality of care they receive. Behavioural and psychiatric symptoms of dementia (BPSD) seem to be particularly challenging for hospital staff.AimsTo define the prevalence of BPSD and explore their clinical associations.MethodLongitudinal cohort study of 230 people with dementia, aged over 70, admitted to hospital for acute medical illness, and assessed for BPSD at admission and every 4 (±1) days until discharge. Other measures included length of stay, care quality indicators, adverse events and mortality.ResultsParticipants were very impaired; 46% at Functional Assessment Staging Scale (FAST) stage 6d or above (doubly incontinent), 75% had BPSD, and 43% had some BPSD that were moderately/severely troubling to staff. Most common were aggression (57%), activity disturbance (44%), sleep disturbance (42%) and anxiety (35%).ConclusionsWe found that BPSD are very common in older people admitted to an acute hospital. Patients and staff would benefit from more specialist psychiatric support.

Aims and MethodTo describe the profile of patients staying on acute wards for longer than 6 months and to compare staff appraisals of accommodation needs with patients' placements at 2 years.ResultsLong-stay patients consistently occupied around a fifth of all acute beds. the nursing and medical staff recommendations and patients' placements at 2 years showed only moderate agreement. Aside from remaining in hospital, patients were most likely to be living in a residential or nursing home at follow-up.Clinical ImplicationsThere is a need to sharpen the focus of mental health strategy on non-acute hospital provision and 24-h-staffed community facilities. In particular, it is important to recognise the contribution of clinical expertise to the assessment and placement of long-stay in-patients.
