Abstract:

Introduction: At the Still-Hildreth Sanatorium (SHS), the first osteopathic sanatorium, the majority of patients were diagnosed with psychiatric disorders, and physicians designed treatments around treating the whole patient. This study is a retrospective chart review from patients admitted in the 1910s to the 1930s (the only known medical records) and shows improvements in pyschiatirc conditions at the SHS were greater than nonosteopathic contemporary statistics. Methods: The Museum of Osteopathic Medicine in Kirksville, Missouri, redacted and compiled charts from 1,891 patients. The investigator reviewed the chart information and compared it to an SHS pamphlet showing patient statistics from March 1914 to March 1931. Results: Rates of hospital admission diagnoses and results were compared, focusing on patients with psychiatric diagnoses. Recovery rates in the extant records largely correspond to published reports. Conclusion: Published data of SHS may be considered generally correct when compared with extant medical records. Other research avenues could be considered from this database.
