Objectives

Substance abuse is a well established risk factor for First-Episode Psychosis (FEP). We hypothesized that substance use at baseline could be an independent risk factorfor a worse clinical course.

Methods

An incidence cohort ofpatients with FEP collected in an 8 year period (2002-2009) at the Bologna WestCommunity Mental Health Centers (CMHCs) was assessed at baseline and at 12 month follow-up. Hospitalizations were used as clinical outcomes.

Results

Substance users had asignificantly higher rate of hospitalizations during the follow-up after adjusting for age, gender and other potential confounders (OR 5.84, 95% CI 2.44-13.97, p≤0.001).

Conclusions

This study showed the independent effect of substance use on FEP course. Clinical implications will be discussed.
