AB  - OBJECTIVE: To examine gender differences in prediction of long-term outcome in 
      first episode psychosis (FEP). METHOD: Eighty-one male and 72 female FEP patients 
      were compared regarding the sensitivity and specificity of the Predictive Rating 
      Scale (PRS). The contributions of pre-admission clinical and socio-demographic 
      characteristics to a poor 5-year outcome were analysed for males and females 
      separately. Gender differences in the relations between predictors and outcome 
      were examined using the equality of correlation comparing correlation 
      coefficients. RESULTS: The sensitivity of the PRS was significantly better for 
      males than for females. The following items: 'the highest Global Assessment of 
      Functioning (GAF) the year before first admission < or =70' and 'GAF at first 
      admission < or =30' explained most of the variance of a poor 5-year outcome for 
      males, whereas for females the corresponding items were 'the highest educational 
      level is compulsory school', 'living with parents' and 'contact with friends < or 
      =2-3 times/month'. When the PRS was adapted assigning a weight of two to the item 
      'the highest educational level is compulsory school' for females, the sensitivity 
      increased. CONCLUSION: This study revealed that the predictors for poor outcome 
      differ between male and female patients with FEP.
