From an original cohort of 471 admissions of male schizophrenics (260 individuals) to Leverndale Hospital, Glasgow, in the years 1967-70 inclusive, 39 patients were found who in December 1973 had become long-term residents by virtue of over three years' stay. These patients were followed up two years later, when it was found that 33 remained. Three had died and two had been discharged, though one was later admitted elsewhere. Those remaining had an average age 45-4 years, and an average duration of illness of 15 years. The patients are considered in terms of their clinical state, management problems, accommodation, occupational grade, and social circumstances. It is concluded that they represent a hard cord and that very few of them are likely to be suitable for such alternative forms of care as are at present available.
在1967年至1970年（含）期间，格拉斯哥勒文德代尔医院收治了471名男性精神分裂症患者（共260人）。到1973年12月时，发现有39名患者因住院超过三年而成了长期住院者。两年后对这些患者进行了随访，发现仍有33人。3人死亡，2人出院，不过其中1人后来在其他地方入院。剩下的患者平均年龄为45.4岁，平均病程为15年。从临床状态、管理问题、住宿情况、职业等级和社会环境等方面对这些患者进行了考量。得出的结论是，他们构成了一个顽固群体，而且他们中很少有人可能适合目前现有的其他替代护理形式。
