Predictors of medical or surgical and psychiatric hospitalizations among a population-based cohort of homeless adults.
This study identified factors associated with inpatient hospitalizations among a population-based cohort of homeless adults in Toronto, Ontario. Health care need was a strong predictor of medical or surgical and psychiatric hospitalizations. Some hospitalizations among homeless adults were potentially avoidable, whereas others represented an unavoidable use of health services.
