Baseline antipsychotic prescription and short‐term outcome indicators in individuals at clinical high‐risk for psychosis: Findings from the Parma At‐Risk Mental States (PARMS) program - Pelizza - Early Intervention in Psychiatry - Wiley Online Library


Description

The prognostic prediction of outcomes in individuals at clinical high-risk for psychosis (CHR-P) is still a significant clinical challenge. Among multiple baseline variables of risk calculator models, the role of ongoing pharmacological medications has been partially neglected, despite meta-analytical evidence of higher risk of psychosis transition associated with baseline prescription exposure to antipsychotics (AP) in CHR-P individuals. The main aim of the current study was to test the hypothesis that ongoing AP need at baseline indexes a subgroup of CHR-P individuals with more severe psychopathology and worse prognostic trajectories along a 1-year follow-up period.
