Thirty-one relatives of @entity29 ( @entity29 ) @entity1 referred to a specialist unit were assessed with the Camberwell Family Interview, and ratings of @entity5785 ( @entity5785 ) were made. These relatives were significantly less critical than relatives of @entity146 @entity1 in previous studies (p<0.001). Outcome was assessed over a 12-month follow-up period by a clinician blinded to the @entity5785 ratings. Most @entity1 in this study had a poor outcome, and 11 (38%) needed surgery. A significantly higher proportion of @entity1 with low @entity5785 relatives were in the surgery outcome group (p = 0.02). Excluding the surgery group, there was a nonsignificant trend for @entity1 with high @entity5785 relatives to have a worse outcome. Patterns of response suggested better tolerance by relatives of the more ill @entity1 . In the group overall there was no relationship between @entity146 status and physical health, either initially or at follow-up. There was considerable agreement among relatives as to the "typical" @entity29 personality. A number of key findings concerning the @entity29 @entity1 , patterns of relatives' @entity5785 , and how they relate to the course of the illness remain to be verified by more systematic assessment.
