The Central Hospital of the Armed Forces of the Eastern Republic of Uruguay, in its psychiatric internment service, assists its active personnel, retirees and direct relatives. The absence of the service's own investigations (processed data) has been a cornerstone in the performance of this work. In order to generate a methodology and be able to compare trends at a regional level, the objective was to find similarities or differences with the psychiatry service of the Catholic University Clinic of San Carlos de Apoquindo in Santiago de Chile. We described and learned the demographic characteristics, the main admission diagnoses, the frequency of readmission and the average days of hospitalization from the database of the admission sheets, the computer system of the Department of Statistics and Medical Records and the logbook of income and expenses of the service. The information was processed in Microsoft Excel spreadsheet 97-2003 with a total of 192 records in the period of one year. The most frequent pathologies were within the groups of Schizophrenia and Delusional Disorders, Humor Disorders (Affective); Personality Disorders with Behavioral Disorders and fourthly Mental Disorders and Behavioral Disorders due to Substance Use. Readmission occurs mainly in users with recurrent chronic pathologies within the subgroups delirious and mood disorders.
