  • Title: [Drug management and therapy resistance. A cross-sectional study of schizophrenic patients in a large psychiatric hospital].
    Author: Mohr F, Bender W, Hubmann W, Mäsel K, Pior R.
    Journal: Psychiatr Prax; 1992 Jul; 19(4):108-13. PubMed ID: 1354878.
    Abstract:
    In a cross-sectional study 473 schizophrenic patients of a great psychiatric hospital were served. It was looked for differences in patients' characteristics and pharmacotherapy according to the therapeutic-functional structure of the hospital (admission-Unit, sociotherapeutic and long-time wards). Differences in drug-management became evident on basis of a regimen, which applies high doses (number of psychotropic drugs, chlorpromacin-units) in general, despite recommendations in the literature. The treatment refractory patients in the long-time wards are found to be heterogeneous and the authors suggest alternative pharmacological and psychosocial interventions.
