Approximately 200 out of 301 first-admitted hospitalized patients with paranoid psychoses earlier studied by Retterstøl are still alive. These subjects are at present being interviewed semistructurally by the author, making a total follow-up period of 22-37 years after index admission. Before the interviews, diagnoses at discharge and at previous follow-ups based upon the records are established. Different diagnostic procedures are used. Preliminary results from the first 125 interviews indicate a small change to the worse as to psychopathology during the last 20 years. Outcome in DSM-III schizophreniform disorder, RDC schizoaffective disorders, Kendler's delusional disorders and ICD-9 reactive psychoses differs distinctly from the less favorable outcome in DSM-III schizophrenia.
雷特斯特尔此前研究的301例首次入院的偏执型精神病住院患者中，约200人仍在世。目前作者正在对这些研究对象进行半结构式访谈，自首次入院后的总随访期为22至37年。在访谈前，根据病历确定出院时及之前随访时的诊断。采用了不同的诊断程序。前125例访谈的初步结果表明，在过去20年里，精神病理学方面有向更差方向的微小变化。DSM-III精神分裂症样障碍、RDC分裂情感性障碍、肯德勒妄想性障碍和ICD-9反应性精神病的预后与DSM-III精神分裂症较差的预后明显不同。
