PURPOSE: Research on first-episode psychosis early intervention has shown significant positive effects on psychopathological, functional and quality-of-life outcome measures. The effects reported have however been short-term and there is still only limited information about the long-term effects. This article will present the short-term results of an effectiveness study in a Baltic country and the first results of a registry-based long-term follow-up.
METHODS: One hundred and ninety-nine first-episode psychosis patients were included in the early intervention effectiveness study in 2004-2008, and 107 were available for a follow-up after two years. Registry-based ten-year follow-up (n = 116) was conducted with a retrospectively formed control group (n = 114).
RESULTS: Patients who received early intervention had substantial symptomatic improvement (BPRS score reduction > 50%) after 6 months of treatment, the Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) scores were significantly improved after 6 months, and the quality of life after 12 months was significantly higher than at the beginning of treatment. After 2 years employment increased by 14% (43.9-57.9%). Long-term follow-up revealed that significantly fewer patients in the intervention group had been in supported housing compared to the control group. Patients in the intervention group had spent more time working during the follow-up period and had almost two times larger incomes, suggestive of higher employment/salary level.
CONCLUSIONS: Early intervention with flexible duration has positive long-term effects on the functioning of patients.
