Popis: In a follow-up study of 100 patients consecutively scheduled for open-heart surgery, Rabiner and Willner found strikingly different mortality rates during the 5 years after hospital discharge in two groups of patients. Patients who had two different types of abnormality, psychopathology before hospital discharge and devastated scores on the Conceptual Level Analogy Test (CLAT), had a significantly and substantially higher mortality rate than patients who had only one or neither abnormality.
