Using clinical information to make individualized prognostic predictions in people at ultra high risk for psychosis.

ABSTRACT: Recent studies have reported an association between psychopathology and subsequent clinical and functional outcomes in people at ultra-high risk (UHR) for psychosis. This has led to the suggestion that psychopathological information could be used to make prognostic predictions in this population.
