[The Mannheim long-term study of schizophrenia. Initial results of follow-up of the illness over 14 years after initial inpatient treatment].

A 14-year follow-up was accomplished on 56 out of a total of 70 patients first admitted to hospital with Schneiderian first-rank symptoms. Data collected during 5 years after index admission were also at our disposal. Three quarters of the probands are living alone, and barely one third are in regular employment. At the time of the 14-year follow-up about one third showed delusions or hallucinations. Almost the same number had psychological impairments and 64% were socially disabled. Comparison with the data collected at 1 year and 5 years reveals no difference in the rates of impairments and symptomatology, but a significant increase of social disability.

Prediction of outcome and utilization of medical services in a prospective study of first onset schizophrenics. Results of a prospective 5-year follow-up study.

After an introduction on design and definition of constructs, followed by an overview on case-finding, description of cohort and epidemiological considerations, this paper presents results on (social) disability (course of disability, prediction of disability), reported symptoms (course of symptomatology, prediction of symptomatology), observed (psychological) impairments (course of impairments, prediction of impairments, and value of impairment scores as predictors) and the utilization of medical services (scale of predominant utilization levels, longitudinal pattern of care, proportions of time in and out of hospital, prediction of length of hospitalization and cumulative time in rehabilitation institutions) in an epidemiological cohort of first onset schizophrenics prospectively over 5 years.
