V originále
The study included 27 patients with the first episode of schizophrenia. The criteria for remission were met by 22 patients vhen their clinical status was assessed one year after the first episode of schizophrenia, the remaining 5 patients were evaluated as non-remitters. Our results show that remitters have a potential for cognitive dificit improvement for at least one year after their first episode of the illness, especially as to executive and memory functions. On the other hand, the group of non-remitters was not found to improve in terms of cognitive function during the year. The level of cognitive functions during the first episode of schizophrenia did not deffer between later remitters and non-remitters. One year after the first episode of schizophrenia non-remitters and non-remitters. One year after the first episode of schizophrenia no-remitters had worse auditory reaction times, no other significant differences between remitters and non-remitters were found. It may be summed up that cognitive dificit showed a trend to improvement for one year after the first episode of schizophrenia, the tendency being more prominent in remitters. The differences between cognitive performance between remitters and nonremitters are, however, not very prominent in the early stage of schizophrenia.
