- Abstract
The article discusses a study on relapse predictors in a cohort of patients with first-episode psychosis. The study involved a total of 1,400 patients' case records. Results showed that the relapse rates were 19.3 percent by year one, 38.4 percent by year two, and 48.1 percent by year three. They also revealed the association of medication non-adherence, smoking, schizophrenia diagnosis, younger age, and shorter baseline hospitalization with an increased risk of relapse in three years.
