Abstract:
The relationship between neurological and cognitive features and the outcome of a 28-day neuroleptic treatment were studied in 98 chronic schizophrenic patients admitted for relapse. Handedness, neurological soft signs, and the cognitive rating on the Mini Mental State assessed in a stable state did not correlate with the neuroleptic response. The findings do not provide a basis for predicting the short-term outcome of the treatment.
