Wirksamkeit psychotherapeutischer Krankenhausbehandlung im deutschsprachigen Raum: Eine Meta-Analyse
Abstract
Psychotherapeutic hospital treatment is a traditionally important intervention in German speaking countries. Nonetheless, systematic evidence of its effectiveness is lacking. The present meta-analysis aims to integrate results of all available published and unpublished studies. 103 studies could be identified by electronic database search and handsearch. Effect sizes were calculated for different outcome domains (somatic, mental, cognitive, social, functional, economic, and general condition). Meta-analysis reveals medium to large effects for psychotherapeutic hospital treatment (overall outcome pre-post: g=0.71; 95% CI 0.65-0.76) with slight increase to follow-up (g=0.80; 95% CI 0.69-0.90). Due to heterogeneity of patients, interventions, outcome measures, and study quality, the aggregated effect sizes show a great variance.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
