Analysis of transcripts followed an "editing style" approach [ 14], and focused primarily on identifying patients' perceptions of the cause, severity and expected evolution of the illness, the impact of the illness on the patient's life and any illness-related worries, the patients' coping strategies, and the patient's health care expectations.
This was then followed by a series of probes aimed at exploring the patients' perceptions of the cause, severity and expected evolution of the illness, the impact of the illness on the patient's life and any illness-related worries, the patients' coping strategies, and the patient's health care expectations.
5 Relying on identification of red flag features to prompt suspicion of a serious illness may be flawed if the red flags occur only late in the evolution of an illness, lack sufficiently discriminatory value or are not applied in practice.
In a substantial proportion of depressed patients, stressful life events play a role in triggering the evolution of the illness.
Patients also had a minimum one-year evolution of the illness and were on antipsychotic treatment at evaluation time.
The status of the histopathological lesion seems to be more informative of the evolution of the illness.
We have previously demonstrated changes in circulating cytokines during the evolution of severe illness in ICU patients.
In diagnostic tests and clinical prediction rules a sensitivity of 100% is hard to achieve, because patients present at different stages in the evolution of their illness.
Schwartz and colleagues [ 28] propose that such changes in diagnosis, particularly to schizophrenia, rested primarily on evolution of the illness [ 28].
Literature suggests that diagnostic change is partly due to the evolution of the illness, partly our diagnostic systems where many by default get psychosis NOS diagnoses when criteria for other psychotic illnesses are not fulfilled.
They must be used as maintenance treatment during the long-term evolution of the illness in the case of efficacy of the corresponding oral formulation and when the benefit/risk ratio is considered as satisfactory.
