Resum:	Objective: Hoarding behaviour is a common but poorly characterised problem in real-world clinical practice. Although hoarding behaviour is the key component of Hoarding Disorder (HD), there are people who exhibit hoarding behaviour but do not suffer from HD. The aim of the present study was to characterise a clinical sample of patients with clinically relevant hoarding behaviour and evaluate the differential characteristics between patients with and without HD. Methods: This study included patients who received treatment at the home visitation program in Barcelona (Spain) from January 2013 through December 2020, and scored ≥ 4 on the Clutter Image Rating scale. Sociodemographic, DSM-5 diagnosis, clinical data and differences between patients with and without an HD diagnosis were assessed. Results: A total of 243 subjects were included. Hoarding behaviour had been unnoticed in its early stages and the median length in the sample was 10 years (IQR 15). 100% of the cases had hoarding-related complications. HD was the most common diagnosis in 117 patients (48. 1%). Conclusions: The study found several differential characteristics between patients with and without HD diagnosis. Alcohol use disorder could play an important role among those without HD diagnosis. Home visitation programs could improve earlier detection, preventing hoarding-related complications.
