Abstract Background and Hypothesis A pro-inflammatory phenotype has been related to psychotic disorders. The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is an accessible biomarker that could be helpful characterize this systemic inflammation state. Study Design This study evaluated the NLR in a cohort of 310 subjects with first episode psychosis (FEP) matched group 215 healthy controls, recruited 16 Spanish centers participating PEPs Project.

Cognitive reserve (CR) refers to the brain's capacity cope with pathology in order minimize symptoms. CR is associated different outcomes severe mental illness.

To assess CR, common proxies have been integrated (premorbid IQ; education-occupation; leisure activities). The groups divided into high...
Although there is recent evidence that cells from the peripheral immune system can gain access to central nervous in certain conditions such as multiple sclerosis, their role has not been assessed psychosis. Here, we aimed explore whether blood cell count was associated with brain volume and/or clinical symptomatology. A total of 218 participants (137 first-episode psychosis patients [FEP] and 81 healthy controls [HC]) were included study. For each participant, a T1 structural image...
Abstract To assess the role of age (early onset psychosis-EOP < 18 years vs. adult psychosis-AOP) and diagnosis (schizophrenia spectrum disorders-SSD bipolar disorders-BD) on duration untreated psychosis (DUP) prodromal symptoms in a sample patients with first episode psychosis. 331 (7–35 old) were recruited 174 (52.6%) diagnosed SSD or BD at one-year follow-up through multicenter longitudinal study.

Recent diffusion imaging studies using free-water (FW) elimination have shown increased FW in gray matter (GM) and white (WM) first-episode psychosis (FEP) lower corrected fractional anisotropy (FAt) WM chronic schizophrenia. However, little is known about the longitudinal stability clinical significance of these findings. To determine tissue-specific FAt abnormalities FEP, as part a multicenter Spanish study, 132 FEP 108 healthy controls (HC) were clinically characterized underwent...
