Participants at CHR for psychosis typically exhibit attenuated positive symptoms; they were identified according to the Structured Interview for Prodromal Syndromes, underwent baseline neuropsychological assessments, and were evaluated at a 3-year clinical follow-up. Data were analyzed from August 25, 2021, to May 10, 2023.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Exposure<\/jats:title>Duration of untreated prodromal symptoms and cognitive impairments in individuals at CHR for psychosis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Main Outcomes and Measures<\/jats:title>The primary study outcome was conversion to psychosis. The DUPrS was categorized into 3 groups based on percentiles (33rd percentile for short [\u22643 months], 34th-66th percentile for median [4-9 months], and 67th-100th percentile for long [\u226510 months]). The DUPrS, cognitive variables, and the risk of conversion to psychosis were explored through quantile regression and Cox proportional hazards regression analyses.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>This study included 506 individuals (median age, 19 [IQR, 16-21] years; 53.6% [n\u2009=\u2009271] women). The mean (SD) DUPrS was 7.8 (6.857) months, and the median (IQR) was 6 (3-11) months. The short and median DUPrS groups displayed poorer cognitive performance than the long DUPrS group in the Brief Visuospatial Memory Test\u2013Revised (BVMT-R) (Kruskal-Wallis \u03c72<\/jats:sup>\u2009=\u20098.801; P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.01) and Category Fluency Test (CFT) (Kruskal-Wallis \u03c72<\/jats:sup>\u2009=\u20096.670; P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.04). Quantile regression analysis revealed positive correlations between DUPrS rank and BVMT-R scores (&amp;lt;90th percentile of DUPrS rank) and CFT scores (within the 20th-70th percentile range of DUPrS rank). Among the 506 participants, 20.8% (95% CI, 17.4%-24.5%) converted to psychosis within 3 years. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis identified lower educational attainment (hazard ratio [HR], 0.912; 95% CI, 0.834-0.998), pronounced negative symptoms (HR, 1.044; 95% CI, 1.005-1.084), and impaired performance on the Neuropsychological Assessment Battery: Mazes (HR, 0.961; 95% CI, 0.924-0.999) and BVMT-R (HR, 0.949; 95% CI, 0.916-0.984) tests as factors associated with conversion.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusions and Relevance<\/jats:title>The finding of this cohort study suggest the intricate interplay between DUPrS, cognitive performance, and conversion risk in individuals at CHR for psychosis.
