TI  - Outcome assessment in depressed hospitalized patient.
PG  - 24-9
AB  - Psychiatric symptoms as well as work, social, and physical functioning were 
      compared in two groups of psychiatric patients (36 depressed only and 34 
      depressed in conjunction with an eating disorder) and 77 controls. In both 
      groups, Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) scores significantly improved from 
      hospital admission to discharge and remained improved at 1.5 years postdischarge. 
      As outpatients, the GAF, Zung Depression, and anxiety scores of both groups were 
      significantly lower than for controls. Ratings of social functioning for 
      depressed only outpatients did not differ from controls on five out of six 
      measures. Predictors of posthospital improvement included high satisfaction with 
      hospital treatment, high GAF scores on admission to hospital, perceived 
      effectiveness of outpatient therapy, younger age, and an historical absence of 
      sexual abuse or prior psychiatric hospitalization.
