To determine the characteristics of alcohol dependent patients, total 568 psychiatric records of 373 alcohol dependent patients who had been admitted to St. Andrew’s Hospital from 1991 to 1996 were reviewed. And alcohol dependence was rediagnosed according to DSM-Ⅳ criteria. Date from psychiatric records including sex, age, education, occupation, religion, history of familial alcoholism, marital state, attendant, habitat, course of admission, type of discharge, duration of admission, presence of delirium tremens and MMPI scale were obtained. In the demographic findings, 95.2% of alcohol dependent inpatients were male, and mean age on admission of total patients was 43.1±11.1 years. Education background of the reviewed patients was higher than the general population. Among the alcohol dependent patients, 40.5% had no religion, 41.6% were jobless, 76.4% continued marital life and 20.6% had a history of familial alcoholism. Most of patients’ caretakers were family members or partners. 71.9% of the patients came from cities, 37.9% admitted via emergency room and 34.5% discharged agsinst medical advice. The admission rate of alcohol dependent patients increased annually. The monthly admission rate of alcohol dependent patients was the highest in November, and second highest in June. The rate of alcohol withdrawal delirium decreased annually and the mean annual rate was 14.6%. The mean duration of the admission was 44.4±45.0 days, of which 52.1% were less than a month. In MMPI scales, the validity scales showed inverted V shape and clinical scales showed more elevated t-scores of the Pd, Pa, and Ma scale which suggest antisocial, neurotic and psychotic features among alcohol dependent patients.
