Additionally, these impairments have been correlated with critical disease parameters, evident in both early and advanced stages. The principal objective of this study was to investigate the association between premorbid adjustment and functional outcomes a decade following the initial episode of psychosis. A cluster analysis was performed to group patients according to their premorbid adjustment scores as assessed with the Premorbid Adjustment Scale (PAS). The measurements of The Disability Assessment Scale (DAS), The Global Assessment of Function (GAF) scale, ​​and The Quality of Life Scale (QLS) were used to compare the functionality of the groups at a 10-year follow-up. A total of 231 patients were classified into three groups based on their premorbid adjustment: “good PAS”, “deteriorating PAS”, and “chronically poor PAS”. The three groups differed significantly in their sociodemographic and cognitive baseline characteristics. At the 10-year follow-up, “good PAS” group had better scores than the other groups in the variables of functionality and quality of life. The relationship found between premorbid adjustment and long-term functional results in patients with psychosis can help us predict the evolution of patients and act accordingly. date: 2024-01 publication: Psychiatry Research volume: 331 pagerange: 115674 id_number: doi:10.1016/j.psychres.2023.115674 refereed: TRUE issn: 01651781 official_url: http://doi.org/10.1016/j.psychres.2023.115674 access: close language: en citation: Artículo Materias > Psicología Universidad Europea del Atlántico > Investigación > Producción Científica Cerrado Inglés The literature indicates that patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders often show deficits in premorbid adjustment.
