Resumo

This study examines a series of elderly admissions to a psychiatric hospital and a geriatric hospital serving the same catchment area in order to evaluate the success of the two hospital services in separating their patients into two groups, and to study the effect, if any, on the prognosis of those patients who were ‘incorrectly labelled’.
