The outcome in clinical and social terms of a psychiatric illness arising within 1 year of confinement or termination of pregnancy and requiring on-going care was studied after a period of 1-6 years in 47 women. The outcome was related to the earlier features of the illness and to personal and historical features. Social impairment and continuing psychopathology occurred in many cases. The only factor which significantly related to poor outcome was an initial diagnosis of schizophrenia.
对47名女性在1至6年的时间里进行了研究，这些女性在分娩或终止妊娠后1年内患上需要持续护理的精神疾病，研究了其临床和社会层面的结果。该结果与疾病的早期特征以及个人和病史特征相关。许多病例中出现了社会功能受损和持续的精神病理学问题。与不良结果显著相关的唯一因素是最初诊断为精神分裂症。
