GERIATRIC DAY HOSPITAL IN HONG KONG: A THREE-YEAR FOLLOW-UP STUDY

EDWARD M. F. LEUNG, Medical Officer and Y. Y. NG, Consultant Physician

Geriatric Unit, Princess Margaret Hospital Hong Kong

In this study, 477 elderly patients who attended the day hospital at Princess Margaret Hospital, Hong Kong in the years 1979–81 are reviewed. Our patients are on the whole younger than those in the UK, with an approximately equal sex ratio. The day hospital has an important function for the rehabilitation of stroke patients. A longer stay of patients has reflected the lack of day hospital places. A low New Patient Index resulted from the lack of day care centres.
