Summary
The main hypothesis of the Nottingham Study was that the general neurotic syndrome would have a more complex and likely poorer outcome in the long-term, so follow-up data were critical in evaluating this. Assessments were made of the main outcome measures at 16, 32, 52 (one year) and 104 weeks (two years) after randomisation. At five years, assessment was only made through examination of the patients’ GP and hospital notes.
