title: DSM-IV catatonic features among psychiatric inpatients: a preliminary study.
abstract: We studied DSM-IV catatonic features in 120 psychiatric inpatients with a main diagnosis of acute psychotic, affective or cognitive disorder. Individual catatonic features were highly intercorrelated, although diagnostically nonspecific. A single factor, accounting for 85% of the variance, was extracted and interpreted as representing both types (excited and retarded) of catatonic syndrome.
