RESUMEN
La detección precoz y la identificación de los mecanismos que subyacen al desarrollo de Esquizofrenia (5), constituyen areas de relevancia clínica en el curso y pronóstico de la enfermedad (7,8). Los resultados de múltiples investigaciones proporcionan evidencia, sobre alteraciones del neurodesarrollo en etapas precoces de la infancia y su asociación con Esquizofrenia y síntomas psicóticos en la niñez y la edad adulta(1). Los sujetos con este riesgo comparten características similares con pacientes que ya tienen la enfermedad, incluyendo alteraciones cognitivas, síntomas afectivos, aislamiento y déficit en la función social(2,3,4). En este estudio se identificaron algunos de los factores de riesgo, descritos en la literatura, en aparición de Esquizofrenia, en nuestra población de consultantes en el Hospital Dr. H. Henríquez Aravena, Temuco. Los pacientes esquizafrénicos incorporados en este estudio tienen mayor frecuencia de marcadores del desarrollo y factores de riesgo antes que se manifieste la psicosis, en comparación con grupo control.
ABSTRACT
The early detection and the identification of the mechanisms that underlie the development of Schizophrenia (5), constitute areas of clinical relevancy in the course and prognosis of this disease (7,8). The results of many investigations provide evidence on early-childhood developmental impairment that is specifically associated with schizophrenia and that predicts psychotic symptoms both in childhood and adulthood (1). The subjects with this impairment share similar characteristics with patients who already have the disease, including cognitive alterations, affective symptoms, social isolation and decline in social functioning. (2,3,4). In this study some of the risk factors for the appearance of schizophrenia described in the literature were identified in our patients of the Dr H. Henriquez Aravena Hospital, Temuco. The schizophrenic patients of this study have a higher frequency of the developmental risk factors prior to the manifestation of the psychosis compared with the control group.
