摘要: Within a comprehensive community care system, we examined which patients became hospitalized during long-term treatment. We studied 60 consecutively admitted, and mainly chronic psychotic over 5 years. Full partial hospitalizations were assessed by means of hospitalization index. This index was significantly lower in the 2nd to 5th years after admission than 1st year. Sociodemographic clinical characteristics failed predict Patients' age, gender last occupational status related following 4 A better prediction allowed treatment data obtained It is suggested that longterm prognosis should be based upon experience with patient given rather on patient's history as known before
