Abstract		Although detailed diagnostic criteria exist, the differential diagnosis between schizophrenia (SCH) and delusional disorder (DD) is sometimes difficult. This is particularly true for patients with first episode of the disorder. To find out the differences between patients with SCH and DD some sociodemographic and morbid charaderistics were compared. Data from the Slovenian Registry of hospitalised psychiatric patients were used. In 1994 there were 855 admissions due to SCH and 379 due to DD to the Department of Psychiatry in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Patients with SCH were younger than patients with DD, they were also more frequently single and retired and their length of stay was significantly longer. The two groups did not differ in place of residence or estimated success of treatment. The results may indicate a more severe course of the disorder in patients with SCH but social influences on the diagnosis of SCH should be considered as well.
Summary		Čeprav obstajajo podrobna merila za diagnozo shizofrenije (SH) in blodnjavih motenj (BM), je v praksi ločitev pogosto težavna. To še posebej velja ob prvi epizodi duševne motnje. Namen raziskave je bil ugotoviti nekatere razlike v socialnodemografskih in bolezenskih značilnostih med bolniki s SH in BM. UporabIjeni so bili podatki Registra hospitaliziranih psihiatričnih bolnikov Slovenije. V letu 1994 je bilo na Psihiatrično kliniko sprejetih 855 bolnikov s SH in 379 z BM. Bolniki s SH so bili mlajši od bolnikov z BM, med njimi je bilo tudi več samskih in upokojenih, bili so tudi dlje hospitalizirani. Polovica bolnikov z BM (in /e 14% bolnikov s SH) je bila prvič hospitaliziranih. Med skupinama ni bilo razlik v občini prebivališča in uspehu zdravljenja. Ugotovljene razlike lahko kažejo na hujši potek duševne motnje pri bolnikih s SH, vendar je potrebno upoštevati tudi socialne vplive na diagnozo SH.
