[The Mannheim long-term study of schizophrenia. Initial results of follow-up of the illness over 14 years after initial inpatient treatment].
A 14-year follow-up was accomplished on 56 out of a total of 70 patients first admitted to hospital with Schneiderian first-rank symptoms. Data collected during 5 years after index admission were also at our disposal. Three quarters of the probands are living alone, and barely one third are in regular employment. At the time of the 14-year follow-up about one third showed delusions or hallucinations. Almost the same number had psychological impairments and 64% were socially disabled. Comparison with the data collected at 1 year and 5 years reveals no difference in the rates of impairments and symptomatology, but a significant increase of social disability.
