Abstract
Seven systems for the diagnosis of schizophrenia were compared in their ability to predict short-term outcome at follow-up: (1) with each other, (2) with selected specific symptoms, and (3) with a simple additive composite symptom score. None of the systems nor the symptoms predicted strongly, but DSM-III and Schneiderian First Rank Symptoms and the composite score performed somewhat better than the other predictors.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
