description A Cochrane review has compared short-stay hospital admission with long-stay/standard admission of patients with severe mental illness for a number of outcomes in a total 2030 participants from 6 randomised trials. It reached the conclusion, supported by limited evidence, that short admissions in mental health units do not increase the risk of death, readmission or worsening of mental state, and pose less risk of delayed discharge and patient's unemployment. This commentary examines the available evidence from previous studies and discusses its relevance to current practice.
