Clinical Trial Summary

The main objective is to assess the 6-month prognosis of patients who presented with extreme agitation in the emergency room.

The primary endpoint is the 6-month mortality of agitated patients.

Description:

Emergency services are confronted with emergency situations characterized by patients who are victims of significant agitation, in particular states of extreme agitation "excited delirium syndrome", which is constantly increasing and which seems to be associated with morbidity and mortality not negligible.

Patients meeting the inclusion and non-inclusion criteria are included on admission to the emergency room.

An evaluation at H1 and at the end of hospitalization is carried out. The patient is contacted by telephone at M1, M3 and M6.

The inclusion period is 24 months The duration of participation (treatment + follow-up) is 6 months The total duration is 30 months.

The research is multicentric and national with the participation of 8 centres.
