Multicentric study compares psychiatric emergency management in two university hospitals, revealing significant differences.
This multicentric study revealed significant territorial differences in psychiatric emergency management between Novara and Alessandria. The Novara centre manages a younger population with complex, chronic psychiatric disorders, requiring an intensive, hospital-oriented approach. Alessandria serves an older population with higher conscious suicidal intent, managed primarily through territorial services. Standardisation of diagnostic protocols-particularly substance use screening-is essential for valid epidemiological comparison and uniform, evidence-based care.
