Is non-completion of treatment related to security need?

Our study showed that an admission DUNDRUM-1 rating, indicating levels of security need, co-varies only to a small extent with the historical items of the HCR-20, so may be regarded as measuring complementary domains. While conditions in Flanders at the time of the study complicated it in that medium security hospital units offered the highest level of hospital security available, the finding that non-completion of treatment was particularly likely when the DUNDRUM-1 indicated a higher security need than facilities could provide may have implications for all secure hospital services.
