Abstract

By means of the Eysenck Personality Inventory and a careful interview it proved possible to predict the outcome of surgery for duodenal ulcer as far as patient satisfaction was concerned. Success was accurately predicted in 20 out of 22 cases and failure was accurately predicted in 8 out of 10 cases.
