The individual symptoms correlating the highest with hospitalization were self-neglect, disorganized thought process, and impulsivity. Even greater correlations, in increasing order, were obtained for the total number of symptoms present, for delusional psychosis (one of the broad factors underlying the patient's symptoms), and for a linear combination composed of self-neglect, impulsivity, suspiciousness, and suicidal indicators.
