Patients demonstrated a mean of 6.0 \u00b1 2.1 signs of catatonia on the Bush Francis Catatonia Screening Item, with a mean BFCRS score of 15.0 \u00b1 5.9. Among the 23 items of the BFCRS, six were present in &gt;50% of patients (staring, mutism, immobility\/stupor, withdrawal, posturing\/catalepsy, rigidity), and four were present in &lt;20% of cases (waxy flexibility, mitgehen, gegenhalten, grasp reflex).
