When 54 Afro-Caribbean and 49 white British consecutive psychotic in-patients were prospectively studied for clinical differences in course of illness and pattern of symptoms, no major differences were found. This does not support the hypothesis that misdiagnosis within the psychoses can explain the higher admission rates of schizophrenia calculated for Afro-Caribbean populations.
当对54名非洲裔加勒比人和49名英国白人连续住院的精神病患者进行前瞻性研究,以探讨疾病过程和症状模式的临床差异时,未发现重大差异。这并不支持以下假设:精神病中的误诊可以解释为非洲裔加勒比人群计算出的精神分裂症较高的入院率。
