Rates and predictors of service disengagement in first episode psychosis: Results from a 2-year follow-up study in an Italian real-world care setting.

Aim: Service disengagement is a major problem for "Early Intervention in Psychosis" (EIP). Understanding predictors of engagement is also crucial to increase effectiveness of mental health treatments, especially in young people with First Episode Psychosis (FEP). No Italian investigation on this topic has been reported in the literature to date.

Obsessive-compulsive symptoms in individuals at clinical high risk for psychosis: A 2-year longitudinal study.

Aim - Recent findings suggest that OCS are prevalent in individuals with early psychosis. However, their clinical relevance still needs to be clarified. This research specifically explored OCS in subjects at Clinical High Risk for Psychosis (CHRP), with the aims of determining their baseline prevalence, examining their 2-year stability, and analyzing their association with sociodemographic data, clinical characteristics and outcomes.

Clinical high risk for psychosis and service disengagement: Incidence and predictors across 2 years of follow-up.

Unlabelled: BACK: Service disengagement is common in subjects at CHR-P (clinical high risk for psychosis), potentially worsening daily functioning and increasing the duration of untreated psychosis. That is why to identify baseline predictors of service disengagement could help better tailoring follow-up on every CHR-P individual.

Aims: Since there are few studies on this topic, the goals of this examination were: (1) to calculate service disengagement rates in a CHR-P sample along 2-years of follow-up; and (2) to examine the most relevant predictive factors of disengagement at baseline.

Diagnostic shift in adolescents with first episode psychosis: findings from the 2-year follow-up of the "Parma Early Psychosis" program.

Purpose: Diagnostic stability for people with First Episode Psychosis (FEP) is essential for treatment, but it remains poorly investigated, especially in adolescents and within a prospective design. The aims of this research were: (a) to examine diagnostic change in Italian adolescents with FEP treated within an "Early Intervention in Psychosis" program during a 2-year follow-up period and (b) to investigate any sociodemographic and clinical predictors at baseline.

Methods: At baseline, 66 adolescents with FEP was recruited.
