[en] Objective: To describe the admission patterns and their sociodemographic, clinical, care and therapeutic features among acute patients admitted by judicial intervention to the Hospital Psychiatric Unit (HPU) at the A Coruña University Hospital, trying to identify the variables associated and the determining factors of involuntary admission. Material and Methods: Retrospective follow-up study. HPU inpatients in the A Coruña Health Area (from 1996 March 12th to 2009 November 30th; n = 6.872). The association among qualitative variables with the chi-square statistic test was studied, and the arithmetic mean comparison was used for the quantitative variables, having checked normality with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, the Student T test or the Mann- Whitney test, according with what were appropriate. A multivariate analysis of logistic regression was made to determine the variables associated with involuntary admission. The statistical analysis was made with the program SPSSv19.0. Results: Voluntary admissions are majority (62.3%), showing the group of involuntary admissions a statistically greater percentage of males (57.8%), singles (59.1%), with personal backgrounds of Psychotic Disorders (38%), diagnosis of Schizophrenia/Psychotic Disorder (57.7%), being the main reason for admission the hallucinatory delusional symptomatology (53,4%), coming from the Emergency Department (81.5%), and with a mean stay of 22.02 days. In the group of involuntary admissions, the inpatients by Court Order, as opposed to the judicial authorizations are males (92.5%), with a diagnosis of Schizophrenia / Psychotic Disorder (50.9%) and Personality Disorder (17%), with a mean stay of 27.9 days. Conclusions: After the establishment of the 'Acougo' protocol, a significant decrease of admissions by Primary or Ordinary Judicial Authorization is revealed, presenting more severity and mean stay the involuntary inpatients, especially those with admissions by Judicial Order, having these variables been associated with an increase in the probability of involuntary admissions, the reason for admission, the 'Acougo' program and the diagnosis.

[gl] Obxectivo: Describir os patróns de ingreso e as suas caracteristicas sociodemograficas, clinicas, asistenciais e terapéuticas dos pacientes que ingresan con intervención xudicial na Unidade de Hospitalización de Agudos do Servizo de Psiquiatría do Hospital Universitario da Coruña, tratando de determinar as variables asociadas ao mesmo e os factores determinantes de ingreso involuntario. Material e Métodos: Estudo de seguimento retrospectivo. Pacientes ingresados na UHP da Área Sanitaria de A Coruña, (12 de Marzo de 1996 a 30 de Novembro do 2009; n: 6.872). Estudiouse a asociación entre variables cualitativas co test estadístico chi-cadrado e para as variables cuantitativas realizouse a comparación de medias, tras comprobar normalidade co test de Kolmogorov-Smirnov, co test T de Student ou o test de Mann-Whitney según procedera. Realizouse un analise multivariante de regresión loxistica para determinar que variables asociabanse co ingreso involuntario. O analise estadistico realizose co programa SPSSv19.0. Resultados: Son maioritarios os ingresos voluntarios (62,3%) e dentro do grupo dos involuntarios evidenciase un porcentaxe estadísticamente maior de varóns (57,8%), solteiros (59,1%), con antecedentes persoais de Trastornos Psicóticos (38%), diagnosticado de Esquizofrenia/Trastorno psicótico (57,7%), tendo como motivo principal de ingreso a sintomatoloxía delirante alucinatoria (53,4%), procedentes do Servizo de Urxencias (81,5%), e cunha estancia media de 22,02 días. No grupo dos involuntarios os pacientes que ingresan por Orde Xudicial, en contraposición ás Autorizacións Xudiciais caracterizanse por ser varóns (92,5%), e con diagnóstico de Esquizofrenia / Trastorno psicótico (50,9%) e de Trastorno de personalidade (17%), cunha estancia media de 27,9 días. Conclusións: Ponse de manifesto tras a instauración do programa Acougo unha disminución significativa dos ingresos de pacientes por Autorización Xudicial Primaria uo Ordinaria, presentando maior gravedade e estancia media dos pacientes que ingresan de forma involuntaria e en especial os pacientes que ingresan por Orde Xudicial, evidenciandose como variables asociadas a un aumento da probabilidade de ingreso involuntario, o motivo de ingreso, o programa Acougo e o diagnóstico.
