Rate and predictors of interrupted patient follow-up after first-episode psychosis - a retrospective cohort study in France.

Background: Patient adherence to follow-up after a first episode of psychosis (FEP) is currently a major challenge. Patient's early adherence reduces the risk of relapse and improves their prognosis in the short and long term. The primary goal of our study was to determine the incidence of treatment disengagement at 1-year follow-up in patients with first-episode schizophrenia, schizophreniform or schizoaffective disorder.
