Rates, patterns and predictors of long-term outcome in a treated first-episode psychosis cohort

长期的疾病过程和结果的首次发作精神病治疗的患者知之甚少，特别是在重要的领域，如社会和职业功能，身体健康和生活质量。这项对786名患者的治疗队列研究，在他们首次精神病发作后15年，将是迄今为止进行的最长和最大的研究之一。研究结果将为临床实践和政策制定提供信息。

The long-term illness course and outcomes of patients treated for first episode psychosis are poorly understood especially in terms of important domains such as social and vocational functioning, physical health, and quality of life. This treated cohort study of a sample of 786 patients, 15 years after their first episode of psychosis will be one of the longest and largest conducted to date. Results of the study will inform clinical practice and policy development.
