OBJECTIVES: Early-onset @entity914 (EOP) vary considerably with regard to diagnostic stability and functional outcome. The aim of this study was the assessment of @entity409 as a predictor of outcome in EOP. METHOD: This was a retrospective cohort study. Twenty-five hospitalized @entity1 with non-affective EOP were assessed with the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) during the index admission. Associations with current diagnosis, further admissions, current treatment status and occupational and relationship outcome were analyzed in 6 years of follow-up. RESULTS: The mean age at the index admission and the follow-up was 16.1    1.35 and 22.0    2.1 years, respectively. After discharge, almost all subjects (96%) at least briefly continued @entity146 treatment, and the majority of them (76%) were readmitted. Worse baseline WCST results were associated with a follow-up @entity161 diagnosis, being a @entity146 in- or outpatient at the moment of follow-up assessment and receiving psychotropic medication. A low number of completed categories correlated with receiving a disability pension at the follow-up. CONCLUSION: In @entity1 with EOP, baseline executive function impairment was associated with @entity161 diagnosis and @entity146 treatment at the follow-up. The association between baseline results and @entity146 treatment may explain the limited effect of baseline impairment on follow-up occupational and relationship status.    2014 S.
