Abstract
To determine the frequency of previously undiagnosed, positive physical findings in a psychiatric outpatient clinic population, the case records of 910 consecutively admitted patients who were given screening physical examinations including urinalyses were examined. Of the patients 20.4% had some medical abnormality that was previously undiagnosed. Psychiatrists should make the physical examination a routine part of their total psychiatric evaluation.
