Effects of Six Months of Clozapine Treatment on the Quality of Life of Chronic Schizophrenic Patients
Abstract
The effect of approximately six months of treatment with clozapine on the quality of life of 38 treatment-resistant schizophrenic patients was prospectively studied in an open trial. The Quality of Life Scale was used to provide an objective measure of changes in patients' psychosocial functioning. Significant improvement was noted on all four factors of the scale. The ratings tended to be negatively correlated with ratings on the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale at baseline and at six months. At 12 months, patients' rehospitalization rate was reduced by 83 percent and was independent of the six-month quality-of-life ratings.

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.
