Predictors of long-term outcome in the GAP/EU-GEI FEP cohort

Mounting evidence has challenged the old concept that schizophrenia is a chronic disorder with an inevitable deteriorating course; however, more evidence is needed to develop a more optimistic treatment and management approach over time. In this study, we aim to measure the outcome of schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders 10 and 15 years after the first episode of a psychotic disorder and examine predictive risk and protective factors of the different outcomes.
