Sažetak
This study is not supporting the thesis that catatonic schizophrenia has a favorable outcome and better prognosis than other subtypes of schizophrenia. In majority of cases the illness was severe and chronic leading to socio-economic degadation, affecting quality of life and shortening the duration of life in comparison with general population. Purpose was to analyze outcome of catatonic type of schizphrenia in comparison to paranoid type of schyzophrenia. Representative sample of 402 patients from Croatian Psychotic Case Register was formed for long-term field-clinical- epidemiological follow up. Every catatonic schizophrenic paient was matched with paranoid schizophrenic patient from the sample, according to residential area, sex and age. Majority of catatonic schizophrenic patients showed unstable clinical picture, positive family history of psychosis, they had shorter pre- hospitalization interval and better compliance compared to paranoid schyzophrenic patients. Patients with catatonic schizophrenia do not have favourable outcome nor better prognosis then other subtypes of schyzophrenia.
