The outcome of puerperal psychoses in a group of 66 patients was studied 10-11 years after the initial illness. The present health of the study group and a control non-puerperal group was compared using the Health Sickness Rating Scale (HSRS). The majority of the puerperal psychotics were primigravida. The rate of positive family history of psychiatric illness was similar in both groups. There was no significant difference in the scores of both group on the H.S.R.S. A startling finding was a mortality of 1 in 5 amongst the puerperal psychotics. These and other findings are discussed.
对一组66例产后精神病患者在初次患病10 - 11年后的结局进行了研究。使用健康疾病评定量表（HSRS）对研究组和非产后对照对照组的当前健康状况进行了比较。大多数产后精神病患者为初产妇。两组精神疾病家族史阳性率相似。两组在HSRS上的得分无显著差异。一个惊人的发现是产后精神病患者中有五分之一的死亡率。本文对这些及其他发现进行了讨论。
