METHODS
A sample of 28 individuals was identified while hospitalized for AIP. We reviewed their hospital records after six years.
RESULTS
During follow-up, seven individuals (25%) died and nine (32%) had moved from the area. Of the remaining 12, four individuals (25%) were diagnosed with schizophrenia. These individuals were, at baseline, characterized by fewer hallucinatory symptoms and more homelessness.
CONCLUSION AND SCIENTIFIC SIGNIFICANCE
Hospitalization for AIP was a relatively specific risk factor for schizophrenia and the mortality rate in AIP was high.
