Prevalence of familiality, obstetric complications, and structural brain damage in schizophrenic patients.
Schizophrenic in-patients with and without a family history were identified prospectively. The two groups did not differ with respect to clinical variables, ventricular enlargement, prevalence of cortical sulcal widening, or a history of obstetric complications, even when a variety of definitions of familiality were used.
