Abstract

A population of 56 cases of acute delusional disorders classified Bouffées délirantes by Pichot's diagnostic criteria is studied. Diagnostic methodology is described. Prognostic factors are assessed from individual variables, using a logistic linear regression model giving the probability of a favourable outcome. These prognostic factors are then adjusted considering gender.
