The Chestnut Lodge Follow-up Study: III. Long-term Outcome of Borderline Personalities

McGlashan, Thomas H.·1986·Archives of General Psychiatry

Abstract

This report elaborates the long-term course and outcome for systematically rediagnosed patients with borderline personality disorder (n = 81) from the Chestnut Lodge follow-up study. They were assessed and are described from multiple outcome perspectives. Schizophrenic (n = 163) and unipolar affective disorder (n = 44) cohorts serve for comparison. Borderline patients were comparable with unipolar patients and scored significantly better than schizophrenic patients on most indexes of outcome. Outcome also varied over time, with borderline patients functioning best in the second decade after discharge.

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.
