Abstract

Objective The objective of this study is to provide a retrospective description of prodromal symptoms of young military servicemen with first-episode psychosis, and a comparison with first-episode non-psychotic disorders. Method Thirty consecutive servicemen presenting with first-episode psychosis were studied. Thirty-four randomly selected servicemen from 123 with non-psychotic disorders served as comparison. A combination of unstructured and semistructured interviews with the patient and other informants was used to describe the prodromal symptoms. Results The most common prodromal psychotic symptoms were social withdrawal (83%); anxiety (77%); sleep disturbance (77%); disturbance in attention, concentration or memory (73%); deterioration in studies in school (70%); depressed mood (63%); odd behaviour (53%); and anger or irritability (53%). Common symptoms found in first-episode psychosis and non-psychotic patients included sleep disturbance, anxiety, depressed mood and anger or irritability. Common symptoms that were associated with the psychotic prodrome were social withdrawal (p Conclusion Cognitive disturbances and attenuated negative symptoms appear to be more specific to the psychotic prodrome in young patients with first-episode psychosis.

  • Sleep disruption was one of the most common symptoms reported in the prodrome of psychotic disorders (77%).

    “Sleep disruption was one of the most common symptoms reported in the prodrome of psychotic disorders (77%), although this is non-specific as sleep disruption was even more common (97%) in the non-psychotic clinical group.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
