This study explored the relative prognostic significance of seven premorbid factors derived from case history ratings and a set of demographic variables for a sample of schizophrenic patients ( N = 259).

Multiple regression analyses indicated that the case history factors were more powerful in predicting a patient's outcome than were the demographic factors.
