Disposition of subjects who were not restored after six months of restoration efforts. *Subjects whose charges were dismissed during their hospitalizations continued their hospitalizations under their civil commitments and were eligible to progress through less-restrictive settings to eventual community discharge.

Cumulative restoration success over time for incompetent defendants who were not restored during six months of restoration efforts. During the study period (through December 31, 2012), all but two subjects were either hospitalized for longer than 5.5 years or reached final disposition of their legal charges. The two subjects remaining IST and hospitalized for less than 5.5 years were hospitalized for 3.77 and 4.10 years at study's end. These subjects may increase the total number of subjects eventually restored and successfully adjudicated.

The lengths of their hospitalizations until successful restoration were 3.13, 3.39, 4.72, and 5.32 years. Only one of these (3.39 years) proceeded to successful adjudication.

For example, 34 (54.0%) of the 63 subjects not yet restored by one year eventually achieved successful restoration. Beyond one year of restoration efforts, 28 (43.8%) of the 65 unrestored (or restored but with failure of adjudication) subjects would eventually progress to successful restoration and adjudication.
