A retrospective case control study was performed using the records of 60 catatonics, 189 noncatatonic schizophrenics, 262 schizophreniform disorder cases, 122 manics, 203 depressives and 134 surgical controls. This study suggests that perinatal distress and a history of severe infectious disease in childhood are more common among subjects with catatonia. Rheumatic fever is particularly common among the histories of catatonic patients. Although these findings did not occur in all cases of catatonia in the study, they may indicate a risk factor for some types of catatonia.
一项回顾性病例对照研究利用了60名紧张症患者、189名非紧张症精神分裂症患者、262例精神分裂症样障碍病例、122名躁狂症患者、203名抑郁症患者以及134名外科对照者的记录。该研究表明，围产期窘迫和童年时期严重传染病史在紧张症患者中更为常见。风湿热在紧张症患者的病史中尤为常见。虽然这些发现在该研究中并非出现在所有紧张症病例中，但它们可能表明某些类型紧张症的一个风险因素。
