[Characteristics of the development of juvenile schizophrenia in view of the late catamnesis].
By means of a clinico-follow-up method the author studied 751 schizophrenic patients with the onset of the disease in adolescence and a catamnesis more than 10 years. It was established that in 96.5% of the cases the diagnostic evaluation made in inpatient conditions was correct. A comparison of the assessment of forms in the development of schizophrenia during the first examination and during follow-up study demonstrated that in most of the cases the first determination of the form of the development on the initial stages of the disease in adolescence was justified, but the frequency of correct initial assessment of the forms of development was different in various clinical states. Despite the formed opinion concerning the prevalent unfavourable outcome of schizophrenia with the onset in adolescence, on the remote stages there was a high percentage of patients under outpatient observation (80.7%), and those working at an ordinary production (40%). In many cases (49.6%) there was a frequent alleviation of the process activity on remote stages and formation of remission.
