BackgroundOutcome from psychotic disorders is heterogeneous with poorer outcomes frequently identified too late to be influenced. Symptomatic ratings at 1 or more years following initiation of treatment have been related to cognition in firstepisode psychosis. However, the relationship between cognition and early outcome remains unclear.AimsTo determine whether specific cognitive domains could identify poor short-term outcome among individuals with first-episode psychosis.MethodOne hundred and fifty-one individuals with first-episode psychosis were divided into two groups based on 6-month clinical data after the initiation of treatment. Six cognitive domains were compared among 78 participants with poor outcomes, 73 with good outcomes and 31 healthy controls.ResultsLower performance on verbal memory (z-scores: poor outcome=–1.3 (s.d.=1.1); good outcome=–0.8 (s.d.=0.9); P=0.001) and working memory (poor outcome=–1.0 (s.d.=1.2); good outcome=–0.4 (s.d.=0.9); P=0.003) identified individuals with first-episode psychosis with a poor outcome after 6 months of treatment.ConclusionsThe early identification of those individuals with first-episode psychosis with a poor clinical outcome may encourage clinicians to pay special attention to them in the form of alternative pharmacological and psychological treatments for a more favourable outcome in the long term.

The aim of this study was to explore gender differences in social cognition in a sample of first-episode psychosis (FEP). An observational descriptive study was performed with 191 individuals with FEP. Emotion perception was assessed using the Faces Test, theory of mind was assessed using the Hinting Task, and attributional style was assessed using the Internal, Personal and Situational Attributions Questionnaire. No gender differences were found in any of the social cognitive domains. Our results suggest that men and women with FEP achieve similar performances in social cognition. Therefore, targeting specific needs in social cognition regarding gender may not be required in early interventions for psychosis.

BackgroundIt is unknown whether prodromal services improve outcomes in those who go on to develop psychosis, and whether these patients are demographically different from the overall first-episode population.AimsTo compare sociodemographic features, duration of untreated psychosis, hospital admission and frequency of compulsory treatment in the first year after the onset of psychosis in patients who present to prodromal services with patients who did not present to services until the first episode of psychosis.MethodWe compared two groups of patients with first-episode psychosis: one who made transition after presenting in the prodromal phase and the other who had presented with a first episode.ResultsThe patients who had presented before the first episode were more likely to be employed and less likely to belong to an ethnic minority group. They had a shorter duration of untreated psychosis, and were less likely to have been admitted to hospital and to have required compulsory treatment.ConclusionsPatients who develop psychosis after being engaged in the prodromal phase have a better short-term clinical outcome than patients who do not present until the first episode. Patients who present during first episodes may be more likely to have sociodemographic features associated with relatively poor outcomes.
