6.118 PREDICTING THE LONG-TERM OUTCOME IN PEDIATRIC OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE DISORDER: A NATURALISTIC PROSPECTIVE COHORT STUDY

Abstract

OCD causes suffering and reduces the psychosocial functioning for a substantial number of youngsters. Clinical guidelines recommend CBT as the first line of treatment for pediatric OCD, although a combination of CBT and selective SSRIs may be necessary in severe OCD. Although these treatments are established based on numerous randomized- controlled trails (RCT) there is little known about the generalizability to treatment in ordinary CAP and the durability and predictors of long-term outcome of treatment. This prospective naturalistic study reports results of identified predictors of the long-term outcome (3-year).
