TLDR
The MRS score correlated highly with an independent global rating, and with scores of two other mania rating scales administered concurrently, and also correlated with the number of days of subsequent stay in hospital.Abstract:
An eleven item clinician-administered Mania Rating Scale (MRS) is introduced, and its reliability, validity and sensitivity are examined. There was a high correlation between the scores of two independent clinicians on both the total score (0.93) and the individual item scores (0.66 to 0.92). The MRS score correlated highly with an independent global rating, and with scores of two other mania rating scales administered concurrently. The score also correlated with the number of days of subsequent stay in hospital. It was able to differentiate statistically patients before and after two weeks of treatment and to distinguish levels of severity based on the global rating.read more

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that it is possible to identify individuals with a high likelihood of onset of psychosis within a brief follow-up period, which lays the foundation for early treatment in an attempt to prevent, delay or minimise the severity of first onset of schizophrenia.

Risk factors for psychosis in an ultra high-risk group: psychopathology and clinical features.
TL;DR: It appears possible to identify those individuals who are at particularly high risk of developing a psychotic disorder such as schizophrenia, given the very high PPV and low false positive rate with this two-step process, and it may be justifiable to target these individuals for intensive monitoring of mental state and even low-dose neuroleptic medication or other biological and psychosocial treatments.
