The prediction of outcome in elderly psychiatric patients

A Whitehead. Psychol Med. 1976 Aug.

Abstract

Clinical and psychometric characteristics of a sample of elderly psychiatric patients were established soon after admission and they were then followed for 1 year. An attempt to predict outcome was most successful for an unfavourable type which was predictable by measures related to intellectual impairment.
