BackgroundNo study outside the UK has examined the diagnostic stability of psychotic disorders in a population-based sample.AimsTo determine diagnostic stability in a Dutch population-based psychosis incidence cohort, to examine the frequencies of diagnostic shifts to and from schizophrenic disorders and to report the revised relative risks of schizophrenic disorders for immigrants.MethodA 30-month follow-up study assessed the cohort (n=181) by means of face-to-face diagnostic interviews.ResultsDiagnostic stability of schizophrenic disorders was high (91%), but lower for other psychotic disorders. At follow-up, the initial diagnosis was adjusted to schizophrenic disorder more often than that the reverse occurred. Almost half (49%) of the patients who were not initially diagnosed as having a schizophrenic disorder received this diagnosis at follow-up. The relative risks for most immigrant groups were stable.ConclusionsSchizophrenic disorders are underdiagnosed, rather than overdiagnosed, at first presentation.

The aim: The aim is to study the effect of β-ABs in patients with LT3S on the course of HF. Materials and methods: 354 patients with HF on a background of post-infarction cardiosclerosis were included in the 2-yeared follow-up study. LT3S was diagnosed at 89 (25.1%) patients. The levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone, free T3f and T4f, and reversible T3 were determined. The echocardioscopy was performed. Results: Patients with HF in combination with LT3S have a heavier functional class by NYHA, greater dilatation of the left heart cavities, less myocardial contractility, a higher frequency of atrial fibrillation and re-hospitalization. The use of β-ABs in patients with HF without LT3S leads to a likely decrease in hospitalization frequency, while in patients with LT3S it has an opposite effect. The frequency of rehospitalization increases with an excess of β-ABs dose > 5 mg (equivalent to bisoprolol). At these patients a decrease in serum T3 level and negative dynamics of parameters of intracardiac hemodynamics are observed. Conclusions: The use of β-ABs in patients with LT3S leads to an increase in re-hospitalization at a dose over 5.0 mg (equivalent to bisoprolol). In these patients there is a decrease in serum T3, an increase in T4 level; and the ejection fraction decrease; and heart cavities size increase.
