Prospective study of duration of untreated psychosis and outcome of never-treated patients with schizophrenia in India

摘要

Context:Longer duration of untreated psychosis (DUP) is known to be associated with poorer outcome of schizophrenia. DUP is also known to be longer in lower- and middle-income countries. Methodologically sound studies that have examined the association of DUP and outcome of schizophrenia in these countries are lacking.
