Objectives: This study was designed to compare the demographic data, clinical characteristics, developmental delay, and psychological tests between childhood-onset and adolescent-onset schizophrenic in-patients.
Methods: Medical records of the 17 childhood-onset (very early onset) Schizophrenia and 16 adolescent-onset (early onset) Schizophrenia in-patients were reviewed. Sex, age, psychiatric past history, prodromal symptoms and period, subtype, co-morbid disease, developmental delay, prescribed drug and dosage, treatment response, intelligence quotient (IQ), and Rorschach test were evaluated.
Results: The mean admission age of childhood-onset (very early onset) group and adolescent-onset (early onset) group were 12.69({pm}2.34) and 15.13({pm}1.04) years. The mean onset age of childhood-onset(very early onset) group and adolescent-onset (early onset) group were 10.79({pm}1.95) and 14.46({pm}0.82) years. The mean prodromal period of childhood-onset (very early onset) group and adolescent-onset (early onset) group were 15.94({pm}12.33) and 8.06({pm}6.10) month. The time to remission period of childhood-onset (very early onset) group and adolescent-onset (early onset) group were 50.58({pm}24.67) and 30.06({pm}18.04) days. Longer time to remission period in childhood-osnet (very early onset) group was associated with earlier age of onset. The mean of total IQ, performance IQ, verbal IQ were at an average level.
Discussion: Childhood-onset (very early onset) group and adolescent-onset (early onset) group Schizophrenia had different clinical and psychological features including prodromal period, and IQ subtests.
