✦ Synopsis

The prevalence of psychiatric illness in 50 consecutive elderly patients admitted with hip fracture was determined using the Geriatric Mental State in its community version, supplemented by the Standardised Mini Mental State Examination. Organic impairment was found in 52%, depression in 16% and obsessional neurosis in 2%. The presence of psychiatric illness significantly increased the length of stay.
