[Schizophrenic patients in ambulatory treatment of a psychiatric hospital and in general practice of established psychiatrists].
Two large samples of schizophrenic patients treated in a psychiatric hospital outpatient clinic (n = 108) and by psychiatrists in office practice (n = 265) are compared in regard to socio-demographic and illness characteristics, pharmacological treatment, tardive dyskinesia rate and psychopathological status--also with respect to results on an outcome-scale. For the outpatient clinic patients changes in hospitalization rates and duration of stay, together with predictors of psychosocial outcome dimensions are reported. The strongest differences between the samples are found in a more complicated course of illness for the outpatient clinic patients, which is interpreted as indication for a higher vulnerability. Against expectation, socio-demographic variables showed no significant differences.
