This research evaluates the effectiveness of the Emilia-Romagna First Episode Psychosis Program in improving clinical outcomes based on various predictors.
Analyzed a cohort of 1085 first episode psychosis patients aged 18-35 from 2013 to 2019.
Measured outcomes included recovery (Δ HoNOS) and remission (HoNOS score ≤ 8).
Explored predictors such as duration of untreated psychosis and frequency of FEP-specific interventions like CBT and psychoeducation.
Significant improvements in HoNOS scores (p < 0.001), especially within the first six months.
Longer duration of untreated psychosis correlated with poorer recovery outcomes, while exposure to over 36 FEP-specific interventions increased odds of remission (OR = 1.74).
Single status and lower educational levels were linked to lower remission likelihood, whereas foreign citizenship related to higher symptom severity.
