[The use of computer psychosemantic analysis for diagnosis of possible relapse in patients with schizophrenia in the period of therapeutic remission forming].
Sixty-five patients with paranoid schizophrenia were studied using a method of computer psychosemantic analysis, which allowed to obtain significant evidence that in 21 patients without clinical symptoms of acute psychosis psychosemantic equivalents of psychotic experience remained actual. Using clinical and psychometric parameters, this was further confirmed by the negative dynamics of mental state in 15 cases (71.4%). Sensitivity of this method was estimated as 78.9%, reproducibility 84.6% and specificity 86.9%. These results suggest efficacy of the used diagnostic method for prognosis of psychosis relapse and assessment of therapeutic effect.
