摘要

There is very little information about patients with neurodevelopmental delays (NDD), including ASD, who present to psychiatric emergency services in a state of crisis. Given this backdrop, this study aims to explore clinical and demographic information about this patient group over a 9-year period who had presented at a Midwestern academic medical center. Participants’visits included (n = 1461) individuals with NDD/ASD who ranged in age from 0 to 26 years and had presented to a psychiatric emergency department between 2012 and 2021. After obtaining approval of the IRB, coded data were extracted using a structured chart review methodology. Data included demographic and clinical variables. Descriptive analyses were performed. Patients were predominantly adolescent males (73%; mean age ± SD = 15.5 ± 4.3). The most common reason for their presentation was aggression toward others (53%) and/or self-injurious behaviors (25 %). A minority had received psychological treatment such as applied behavior analysis (8%), although many (48%) had a history of receiving inpatient psychiatric care. Most of the patients were already receiving a psychotropic medication (81%; already receiving an antipsychotic agent = 51%, followed by those on antidepressants = 37%). During their emergency visit, 24% were prescribed a new psychotropic agent (addition of an antipsychotic, followed by a benzodiazepine, in order of frequency); almost a third (28%) were referred for a psychiatric hospitalization, while the majority (54%) were deemed suitable for return to their home, and a significant number (12%) could not be hospitalized, despite the recommendation, due to the lack of an inpatient bed or a facility. Additional analyses will be presented to identify trends over time and patterns of dispositions. This study focuses on a group of highly acute individuals who place considerable demand on already-stretched psychiatric emergency services. Findings underscore the infrequent use of and possible difficulty accessing behavior therapy, frequent reliance on antipsychotic agents, and a lack of resources for hospitalization. These areas of concern require further investigation and systematic service planning across multiple levels.
