“…Others 29,42,105 have described an over-representation of those from BME groups in general forensic samples, both high and medium secure. The percentage of patients from BME groups in our sample, in line with other long-stay studies, 42,88 does not indicate over-representation, suggesting, maybe, that patients from BME groups are less likely to become long-stay patients, although longitudinal studies would be required to investigate differences in the pathways of patients from different ethnic backgrounds.…”

“…Thirty-two of the 38 studies had samples that were predominantly male (75% to 99% of sample) and four were all-male. 37,84,88,97 Two UK studies had samples drawn from a women's medium secure unit. 40,87 An earlier UK study of Broadmoor high secure patients by Dell et al 33 used an 8-year threshold, the authors observing that 53% of those with a 'psychopathic disorder' and 42% of those with a 'mental illness' classification of the (then) MHA were 'long-termers' who were detained for > 8 years.…”

HS&DR programmeThe Health Services and Delivery Research (HS&DR) programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was established to fund a broad range of research. It combines the strengths and contributions of two previous NIHR research programmes: the Health Services Research (HSR) programme and the Service Delivery and Organisation (SDO) programme, which were merged in January 2012.The HS&DR programme aims to produce rigorous and relevant evidence on the quality, access and organisation of health services including costs and outcomes, as well as research on implementation. The programme will enhance the strategic focus on research that matters to the NHS and is keen to support ambitious evaluative research to improve health services.For more information about the HS&DR programme please visit the website: http://www.nets.nihr.ac.uk/programmes/hsdr This reportThe research reported in this issue of the journal was funded by the HS&DR programme or one of its preceding programmes as project number 11/1024/06.

“…Many studies have investigated patient characteristics affecting LOS in forensic psychiatry in several European countries and in the US (Andreasson et al, 2014;Davoren et al, 2012Davoren et al, , 2015Lammers, Nijman, & Vrinten, 2014;Margetić et al, 2014;Moran et al, 1999;O'Neill et al, 2003;Ross et al, 2012;Shah et al, 2011). Some of the factors found to be related to LOS were only found in some of the studies.…”

“…However, more recent studies showed that many inpatients in UK medium and high secure hospital (34 and 66%) have a mean LOS substantially exceeding 2 years (Shah et al, 2011). Studies in other European countries report mean LOS of 5.8 years in Sweden and Germany (Andreasson et al, 2014;Ross et al, 2012), 6.7 years in Croatia (Margetić et al, 2014) and an increasing LOS from 6.1 years (O'Neill et al, 2003) to 7.6 years in Ireland (Davoren et al, 2012). Also in the Netherlands, the average LOS of a forensic inpatient in high security provision rose from 5.6 to 9.8 years between 1990 and 2009 (Nagtegaal, Horst, & Schönberger, 2011).…”

“…In recent years, more attention has been drawn to length of stay (LOS) in forensic psychiatric care (Sharma, Dunn, O'Toole, & Kennedy, 2015). In several Western countries, the average duration a patient stays in highly secure forensic settings has been rising (Andreasson et al, 2014;Davoren et al, 2012;Margetić, Margetić, & Ivanec, 2014;O'Neill et al, 2003;Ross, Querengässer, Fontao, & Hoffmann, 2012;Shah, Waldron, Boast, Coid, & Ullrich, 2011;Sharma et al, 2015). Two decades ago researchers in the UK reported mean LOS in medium security was less than 2 years (Maden, Friendship, McClintock, & Rutter, 1999;McKenna, 1996).…”

Create an overview of characteristics of patients in long-term forensic psychiatric care (LFPC) with a higher length of stay (LOS) care compared to patients in regular forensic psychiatric care (RFPC) with a shorter LOS. Data were collected from 139 patient records. This study examined whether patients in LFPC differ from patients in RFPC on sociodemographic data, legal data and clinical data and whether those characteristics are able to predict LOS. Patients in LFPC were more often born in a Dutch Caribbean country, less often had a substance abuse disorder, were more often emotionally neglected during childhood, had a higher HCR-20 risk item score, a higher security needs score, a higher (less successful) recovery score, were more often recidivist and had absconded more often than RFPC patients. Certain characteristics were able to distinguish the longer LOS group which might be useful to establish sequel services and enhance treatment efficiency.
