[The role of clinical and economic indices in shaping the criteria for registering schizophrenic patients].
This work is a fragment of a study into expenditures in schizophrenia. The purpose of the work was to distinguish groups of "economic risk" in the population of schizophrenic patients in order to use in future the clinico-economic criteria for the design of the principles of patients' observation and to define approaches to the optimization of the functioning of psychiatric aid services. Depending on the total expenditures per patient during one year all the patients examined were distributed in 4 groups. It is shown that attribution of the patients to one or other group of "economic risk" is related to a definite complex of clinical signs. The authors discuss the problem of the potential orienting of psychiatric services in accordance with the priorities elaborated on that basis, formation of the economic effect commensurable with the expenditures, varying whatever the changes in investments.
