| description | Few patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) require in-patient treatment. There is sparse information on outcome of OCD patients treated as in-patients.

Follow-up reveals that outcome for the majority of patients is poor with 29 (59%) of the sample showing at least mild symptomatology or some difficulty in several areas of functioning. |
