This study evaluated C4A and NfL levels before and after risperidone monotherapy in patients with psychosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This prospective observational study included 30 patients (18\u201345\u00a0years) with psychosis diagnosed according to DSM\u20105 criteria and 30 healthy controls. Patients received risperidone monotherapy and were followed up for 8\u00a0weeks. Serum C4A and NfL levels were measured before and after 8\u00a0weeks of treatment in patients using enzyme\u2010linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). In healthy controls, C4A and NfL levels were also measured once. Quality of life was assessed using the World Health Organization Quality of Life Brief Version (WHOQOL\u2010BREF) questionnaire.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Serum NfL levels were significantly (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001) higher, whereas serum C4A levels were not significantly higher in psychosis patients as compared to healthy controls.

In addition, risperidone monotherapy resulted in a significant improvement in quality of life. Serum C4A and NfL levels were measured using ELISA rather than ultrasensitive immunoassays. Therefore, larger longitudinal studies with longer follow\u2010up and ultrasensitive biomarker platforms are warranted to confirm these findings.<\/jats:p>\n
