Effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of psychiatric mother and baby units: quasi-experimental study
CONCLUSIONS: We found no significant differences in rates of readmission, but MBU advantage might have been masked by residual confounders; readmission will also depend on quality of care after discharge and type of illness. Future studies should attempt to identify the effective ingredients of specialist perinatal in-patient and community care to improve outcomes.PMID:35505514 | DOI:10.1192/bjp.2022.48
