In a two-decade personal follow-up of male alcoholics who had been assessed by a multidimensional diagnostic schedule when first admitted to hospital, the attrition rate was somewhat higher (14%) in a sample chosen for good social adjustment (N = 70) than in a comparison group (N = 35) of subjects with a disability pension (9%). In the good social adjustment sample, outcome status did not differ between subjects causing follow-up difficulties compared with the others. In both samples there was a higher frequency of personality disturbance with lack of internal control of behaviour (initial ratings) in subjects who were lost or caused other follow-up difficulties compared with the others (P less than 0.05). Among the socially well adjusted alcoholics the frequency of psychopathic behaviour when first admitted was higher in the lost than in the interviewed subjects (P less than 0.001).
在一项对首次入院时通过多维诊断程序进行评估的男性酗酒者长达二十年的个人随访中，在为良好社会适应能力选取的样本（N = 70）中，损耗率（14%）略高于领取残疾抚恤金的对照组样本（N = 35）（9%）。在良好社会适应能力样本中，造成随访困难的受试者与其他受试者的结局状况并无差异。在两个样本中，与其他受试者相比，失访或造成其他随访困难的受试者出现人格障碍且行为缺乏内控（初始评级）的频率更高（P < 0.05）。在社会适应良好的酗酒者中，首次入院时失访者的精神病态行为频率高于接受访谈者（P < 0.001）。
