|
Patients with deficit schizophrenia differ from other people with schizophrenia relative to course of illness, treatment response, and neurobiological correlates. An association between deficit schizophrenia and summer birth, in contrast to the winter birth risk factor associated with schizophrenia as a whole, has also been reported. We attempted to replicate the association between summer birth and deficit schizophrenia by using data from a prevalence survey in Nithsdale in southwest Scotland, in which all patients with schizophrenia in Nithsdale were identified and 87% were interviewed directly. Deficit schizophrenia was associated with summer birth, defined as birth in June/July/August (p < .02), June/July (p < .02), or July/August (p < .03). The association with summer birth is consistent with other evidence that patients with deficit schizophrenia have a pathophysiology that differs in some ways from that of other patients with schizophrenia. |
