本文比较了年龄组、性别、病房类型和住院时间相匹配的潜逃者与非潜逃者的选定特征。这项研究是在三家英国传统精神病院进行的，为期12个月。阅读了两组患者的病例记录和各种医院文件。使用SPSS软件对数据进行分析。整体而言，潜逃者与非潜逃者在转介来源、法律的身份、工作、亲友探访及酗酒史方面有显著差异。根据以前的研究结果进行了讨论。
This paper compares selected characteristics of absconders with those of non-absconders matched for age group, sex, type of ward and length of stay. The study was conducted over a twelve-month period in three English conventional mental hospitals. The case notes of both groups of patients and also various hospital documents were perused. Analysis of the data was done using SPSS. Overall, the absconders were found to differ significantly from the non-absconders on source of referral, legal status, job to go to, visits from relatives or friends and history of alcohol abuse. The significant findings are discussed in the light of previous studies.
