A prospective survey of neuroleptic malignant syndrome in a short-term psychiatric hospital
Abstract
Of 1,470 patients treated with neuroleptics during 1 year at a private psychiatric hospital, only one patient developed neuroleptic malignant syndrome--an annual frequency of 0.07%. Use of low doses of neuroleptics may account for this frequency, which is below recent estimates.
