3.4 socio-demographic, clinical and psychological risk variables for progressing into FEP and UHR groups (two binary logistic regression analyses)
Since PANSS was assessed within FEP, ReSch and UHR groups, multiple absent values were observed upon performing linear multivariate regression evaluations including such factors. Consequently, this investigation conducted three separate binary logistic regression evaluations, incorporating marital status, education level, age, employment status, state of depression(according to MARDS score)CSQ problem-solving, CSQ seeking for help, CSQ fantasy, CSQ repression, CSQ rationalization and Self-esteem, as deemed necessary. Such evaluations highlighted UHR group patients exhibited increased negative coping styles (CSQ fantasy) in comparison to HC group counterparts, though obtained increased positive coping style (CSQ problem-solving) in comparison to FEP group counterparts. Findings in the FEP group were similar to those in the ReSch group. (Table4)
