The Prediction of Outcome in Schizophrenia: II. Relationships Between Predictor and Outcome Variables: A Report From the WHO International Pilot Study of Schizophrenia

Strauss, John S.·1974·Archives of General Psychiatry

Abstract

This report describes the characteristics of outcome and its predictors in a cohort of patients evaluated in the Washington Center of the International Pilot Study of Schizophrenia. Part I, focusing on the characteristics of outcome, suggested that outcome consists of several semi-independent processes. This second part focuses on the nature of predictor-outcome relationships in this cohort of patients. Results demonstrate that employment function and social relations in the past were each the best predictor of its respective outcome function. Established chronicity of illness predicted outcome in all areas. The findings support the view that outcome is not a single process but is comprised of several semi-independent processes best conceptualized as open-linked systems. Each system must be considered in understanding, evaluating, and treating the different areas of outcome disability in schizophrenia.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
