To have a more comprehensive depiction of 95 patients with stage II alcoholism, the primary result according to the MMPI procedure was transformed to a comparatively seldom used indicator of difference between the individual mean and indicators from the scales in T marks. Analysis of that indicator made it possible to distinguish values specific for an early relapse and long remission according to each of the scales. A significant difference in distributions according to the assessment scales and scales 1, 2, 3, 4, 7 was demonstrated. The hypothesis of the nonlinearity of the existing relations was proved. Analysis of the patients' distribution within the space of 5 most significant factors has shown the key importance of the level of anxiety and personal anxiety in the relapse occurrence. A reliable system of predicting early relapses is suggested.

D011379	Prognosis	A prediction of the probable outcome of a disease based on a individual's condition and the usual course of the disease as seen in similar situations.	Prognostic Factor,Prognostic Factors,Factor, Prognostic,Factors, Prognostic,Prognoses
D012008	Recurrence	The return of a sign, symptom, or disease after a remission.	Recrudescence,Relapse,Recrudescences,Recurrences,Relapses
D012044	Regression Analysis	Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.

D000437	Alcoholism	A primary, chronic disease with genetic, psychosocial, and environmental factors influencing its development and manifestations. The disease is often progressive and fatal. It is characterized by impaired control over drinking, preoccupation with the drug alcohol, use of alcohol despite adverse consequences, and distortions in thinking, most notably denial. Each of these symptoms may be continuous or periodic.
