摘要:
We examine the relationship between achieving remission of positive symptoms within 3 months in first episode psychosis and outcomes 5 years later. Time to remission of positive symptoms, other early characteristics and 5 year outcomes were assessed in a prospective study of 132 patients being treated for the first time for a psychotic disorder. Just under 60% of patients showed remission of positive symptoms within 3 months. In comparison to later remitters, they showed lower levels of positive symptoms, greater likelihood of competitive employment and less likelihood of collecting a disability pension at 5 years. Earlier remission of positive symptoms may have prognostic significance for longer term outcomes. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
