Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

BACKGROUND: Neurocognitive resilience (NCR) refers to the ability of individuals to maintain cognitive function despite the presence of risk factors for psychosis. Investigating NCR is important as it may help predict the onset of psychosis and functional outcomes in individuals at clinical high risk (CHR) for psychosis. METHODS: This study employed a multi-group prospective design with a 3-year follow-up as part of the ShangHai At Risk for Psychosis-Extended project. Neurocognitive performance was assessed using the Chinese version of the Measurement and Treatment Research to Improve Cognition in Schizophrenia Consensus Cognitive Battery. The study focused on two primary outcomes: conversion/non-conversion to psychosis (CHR-C/CHR-NC) and non-remission/remission (CHR-NR/CHR-R). NCR was defined based on the adjusted cognitive variable relative to the healthy control(HC) group's mean, with three categories: NCR (NCR = 0) for scores within one standard deviation, NCR + (NCR = 1) for scores more than one standard deviation above, and NCR - (NCR = - 1) for scores more than one standard deviation below. RESULTS: The study included 771 individuals at CHR (346 males, mean age 18.8 years) and 764 HCs (359 males, mean age 22.5 years). Among the CHR participants, 540 (70.0%) completed the 3-year follow-up, with 106 (19.6%) converting to psychosis (CHR-C) and 277 (51.3%) classified as non-remission (CHR-NR). Significant negative correlations were found between the total NCR score and various clinical symptoms. Comparing CHR-C and non-converters (CHR-NC), there were notable differences in NCR distributions across four cognitive measures, with a higher proportion of CHR-C individuals categorized as NCR - . For CHR-NR versus remission (CHR-R), CHR-NR individuals were more likely to be classified as NCR - across nearly all cognitive domains. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for predicting conversion to psychosis yielded an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.621 (95% CI (0.561-0.681), p = 0.0001), while the ROC for predicting non-remission demonstrated a higher AUC of 0.826 (95% CI (0.790-0.861), p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: NCR was associated with both conversion to psychosis and non-remission outcomes in CHR individuals, showing notable predictive accuracy, particularly for non-remission.

Not 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.
