title: [Cannabis and alcohol use as prognosis factors in the short-term progress of schizophrenia].
abstract: Data from 62 schizophrenic patients (DSM III), aged 18 to 30, who were treated in the public medical system, and showed a relapse in 1987, after an one-year-follow up, were analyzed. It was observed that cannabis and alcohol use increased the probability of a relapse of schizophrenia in the follow-up period, whilst moderate alcohol use (less than 70 cc of pure alcohol/day) had no influence in the probability of relapse.
