Psychiatric consultations in a pediatric hospital.

The authors conducted a study of 30 hospitalized children who were referred for psychiatric consultation and 60 hospitalized children who were not. They studied the medical charts of these children and administered a questionnaire including a checklist of behavioral symptoms to their parents. More psychopathology was found in the children referred for consultation, but about 20 percent of the children not referred also showed a high degree of psychopathology. Factors found to be associated with referral for psychiatric consultation were older age, longer hospital stay, many previous hospitalizations, and ambiguous diagnoses.
