AbstractOur group treated 13 cases of neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) over a period of 8 years. Based on the clinical severity of complications, the cases were classified into three types: mild, with no complications; moderate, with only respiratory disturbance; and severe, with respiratory disturbance and renal failure. The major complications affecting the prognosis of NMS are respiratory disturbance and renal failure. Renal failure is also associated with the occurrence of disseminated intravascular coagulation and rhabdomyolysis. The proposed classification system for NMS patients is useful in selecting the appropriate therapeutic strategy for this disorder. The clinical data were analyzed to determine the factors in the process of deterioration in NMS.
