Abstract
BACKGROUND: Evidence suggests that schizophrenia may have a better outcome for individuals living in low- and middle-income countries compared with affluent settings. AIMS: To determine the frequency of symptom and functional remission in out-patients with schizophrenia in different regions of the world. METHOD: Using data from the Worldwide-Schizophrenia Outpatient Health Outcomes (W-SOHO) study we measured clinical and functional remission in out-patients with schizophrenia in different regions of the world, and examined sociodemographic and clinical factors associated with these outcomes. The 11 078 participants analysed from 37 participating countries were grouped into 6 regions: South Europe, North Europe, Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America, North Africa and Middle East, and East Asia. RESULTS: In total, 66.1% achieved clinical remission during the 3-year follow-up (range: 60.1% in North Europe to 84.4% in East Asia) and 25.4% achieved functional remission (range: 17.8% in North Africa and Middle East to 35.0% in North Europe). Regional differences were not explained by participants' clinical characteristics. Baseline social functioning, being female and previously untreated were consistent predictors of remission across regions. CONCLUSIONS: Clinical outcomes of schizophrenia seem to be worse in Europe compared with other regions. However, functional remission follows a different pattern.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
