Abstract
Summary: Elderly psychiatric patients who were in contact with the hospital one year after in-patient admission were retested on a number of clinical and psychometric measures first done soon after admission. In general, changes were small; and for several measures very high correlations existed between the scores gained on the two occasions. When those patients with uncomplicated chronic brain syndromes were considered separately, increasing impairment was demonstrable.
