Abstrakt: The authors evaluated the relationship between brain morphological characteristics assessed by means of computerized tomography and the 2-year clinical and social outcomes of 18 patients with chronic schizophrenia. Cerebral structural abnormalities, especially cortical atrophy, were associated with a poorer outcome in several areas of clinical and social functioning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
