T70. RECOVERY IN FIRST –EPISODE PSYCHOSIS: COGNITIVE CLINICAL AND RESILIENCE (PERSONAL RESOURCES) TRAJECTORIES ACROSS 6 YEARS

摘要

BackgroundThere is increasing recognition that people with schizophrenia can experience recovery. Based on a recent review of long-term outcome studies of first-episode psychosis (FEP), the authors argued that remission and recovery rates may be more favourable than previously thought.1 In order to improve timing of interventions and personalize treatment, it must be determined when improvement take place and how cognitive, clinical and resilience trajectories develop over time.The Oslo Schizophrenia Recovery study is one of very few long-term prospective studies of FEP investigating the rate of recovery and the longitudinal course of cognitive, clinical and personal resources in the same study. Limitations of previous studies include high attrition and samples consisting of relapsing patients most often seen in inpatient settings. In the present study, fully recovered subjects no longer in treatment have not been lost to follow- up.The present study has a multi-follow-up design, is ongoing, and includes data from eight assessment points across six years. Thus, it is possible to assess sustained remission and full recovery as well as to show trajectories of neurocognition, symptoms and personal resources in the long term.
