By incorporating quantitative measures in FEP patients, we aimed to (1) determine the baseline distribution of clinical features; (2) examine the impairment magnitude of the quantitative measures by comparing with external controls and then the counterparts of schizophrenia patients of different familial loadings; and (3) evaluate whether these quantitative measures were associated with the baseline clinical features.enExecutive function; First-episode psychosis; Niacin skin test; Schizophrenia; Sustained attention[SDGs]SDG3Patients with first-episode psychosis in northern Taiwan: neurocognitive performance and niacin response profile in comparison with schizophrenia patients of different familial loadings and relationship with clinical featuresjournal article10.1186/s12888-024-05598-2383890722-s2.0-85185686086https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/85185686086
