Fifty-six patients who had been admitted with a conversion disorder other than pseudoseizures were interviewed;mostly by telephone.The median interval was 4-5 years.If a patient had improved during a stay in hospital the eventual outcome was good in 96%,against only 30%in the others(risk ration 3-2(95%CI 1-8-5-6).Rapid improvement was,in turn,related to recent onset of the symptoms.Two patients(4%)subsequently developed an organic deficit that,in retrospect,might be related to the initial episode. |
