| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The clinical characteristics of patients receiving artificial nutrition have not been fully investigated in Japan. Various clinical characteristics of all inpatients at 18 of 20 psychiatric hospitals in Okayama Prefecture, Japan, with a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube, nasogastric tube, or total parenteral nutrition were evaluated.
Two hundred twenty-one patients (5.4% of all inpatients) had been receiving artificial nutrition for more than 1 month, and 187 (130 women, 57 men; 84.6% of 221 patients) were fully investigated. The mean age was 78.3 years old, and the mean duration of artificial nutrition was 29.8 months. Eighty-four patients (44.7% of 187 patients) were receiving artificial nutrition for more than 2 years. Patients with Alzheimer’s dementia (n = 78) formed the biggest group, schizophrenia (Sc, n = 37) the second, and vascular dementia (n = 26) the third.
More than a few patients with mental disorders, including Sc, also received long-term artificial nutrition.
