[Attempt at categorizing the hospitalizations of schizophrenics and evaluation of the effectiveness of measures to prevent them].

Such factors as "syndrome", "alcoholization", "system of interpersonal (intrafamilial) relations" were found to have the greatest impact on the behavioural pattern leading to hospitalization.
