Sažetak
Objective: Find out and stress differences between catatonic and paranoid type of schizophrenia. Methods: From the base population of 10569 schizophrenic patients re¬corded in Croatian Psychotics Case Register (CPCR), the representative sample of 402 patients was formed for further long-term field- clinical- epidemiological follow-up. In this sample there were 59 (14.7%) patients who were diagnosed at least once in their life as catatonic schizophrenics (ICD). Every catatonic schizophrenic was matched with paranoid schizo¬phrenic from the sample, according to residential area, sex and age. Results: The great majority of ever catatonic schizophrenic patients show unstable clinical pieture and positive family history of psychosis, while paranoid schizophrenics showed more stabile clinical picture and less heredity. Also, various differences in socio- demographic, clinical and hospital characteristics were observed among those two groups. Conclusion: This study is supporting the thesis that catatonic schizo¬phrenia is a valid and separate diagnostic entity and is in part familial disorder. References: N. Mimica, V.
