Cardiovascular Risk in Early Psychosis: Relationship with Inflammation and Clinical Features 6 Months after Diagnosis.

ABSTRACT: Background:We aimed to investigate the state of cardiovascular risk/protection factors in early psychosis patients. Methods:A total 119 subjects were recruited during the first year after their first episode of psychosis. Eighty-five of these subjects were followed during the next 6 months. Cardiovascular risk/protection factors were measured in plasma and co-variated by sociodemographic/clinical characteristics. Multiple linear regression models detected the change of each biological marker from baseline to follow-up in relation to clinical scales, antipsychotic medication, and pro-/antiinflammatory mediators. Results:Glycosylated hemoglobin is a state biomarker in first episode of psychosis follow-up patients and inversely correlated to the Global Assessment of Functioning scale. We foun
