Introduction

In addition to the psychosis onset, patients at clinical high-risk (CHR) show a decrease of functioning. This may not be related to the degree and persistence of the attenuated positive symptom (APS). Other clinical factors also predict the level of remission.

Objectives

Revealing the predictors of the functioning in the 5-year follow-up in patients at CHR.

Methods

124 young depressive patients at CHR were examined. Depression symptoms were assessed on the HDRS scale, and the CHR symptoms were assessed on the SOPS scale. The follow-up examination was conducted after 5 years with the determination of functioning on the PSP scale. A correlative analysis of the predictors of the level of remission was conducted.

Results

The functioning level was inversely related to the length of a depressive episode with the CHR symptoms (r=-0,432, p˂0.05), to the negative sub-scale SOPS score (r=0.312, p˂0.05) and to the symptoms of disorganization sub-scale SOPS score (r=0.246, p˂0.05) in the primary assessment. Insufficient reduction of the positive, negative symptoms and symptoms of disorganization on the SOPS during in-patient treatment was also a predictor of the worst outcome at the 5-year follow-up (r=-0,206, p˂0,05; r=-0,309, p˂0,05; r=-0,355, p˂0,05, and r=-0,349, p˂0,05, respectively).

Conclusions

There are some factors, except the severity of APS, that may be considered as the predictors of functioning level in patients at CHR.

Disclosure

No significant relationships.
