Title: [Various results of an epidemiologic study of paranoid schizophrenia]. Author: Alimkhanov ZhA. Journal: Zh Nevropatol Psikhiatr Im S S Korsakova; 1985; 85(8):1206-12. PubMed ID: 4050234. Abstract: The time-course of delirious syndromes was analyzed statistically in a representative group of the randomized patients' population from 3 districts of a city. Depending on patients' sex, their age at the initiation of psychoses and the duration of the disease, there was a different frequency of paranoiac, paranoid, hallucinational-paranoid and paraphrenic syndromes in the course of paranoid schizophrenia. Along with the identification of the general tendency to the complication of delirious syndromes, there was stabilization of psychotic process at the level of any of the aforementioned delirious syndromes. A study of the ordinal number of the appearance of delirious syndromes in the course of paranoid schizophrenia showed the possibility of a mere change of the syndrome unattended by a decrease in the level of the patients' social and employment-related adaptation. At the same time, a reduction in the latter's level could take place upon stabilization of the psychotic process at the level of one or another delirious syndrome.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
