Objective: To evaluate the associations between peripheral levels of inflammatory markers and willingness to exert effort in individuals at clinical high risk for psychosis (CHR-P) and a role of fatigue as a mediator of these associations.

Material And Methods: Forty-nine young men admitted for a depressive episode, who met the criteria for CHR-P, had pre-treatment blood tests to determine levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukins IL-6, IL-8 and IL-10. After treatment and normalization of their condition, they completed the EEfRT task of willingness to exert physical effort to receive monetary reward and filled out the Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS-10).

We also evaluated whether we could distinguish CHR-PS+ individuals from those who did not develop psychosis later (CHR-PS-) and those with uncertain follow-up status (CHR-UNK).
