    Measured: At 10 years

  3. Change in negative symptoms measured by SANS

    Measured by changes in total score of the Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms (SANS).

    Measured: At 10 years

  4. Change in negative symptoms measured by SAPS

    Measured by changes in total score of the Scale for the Assessment of Positive Symptoms (SAPS).

    Measured: At 10 years

  5. Time to relapse
