Abstract

The presented article describes data from secondary analyses, related to the research article entitled "Cannabis consumption and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. A three years longitudinal study in first episode non-affective psychosis patients" [1]. We present detailed data regarding the socio-demographic and baseline clinical characteristics of a sample of 390 drug-naïve patients with a first episode of non-affective psychosis, and the differences between cannabis users and non-users in those characteristics. Tables also show the results from cross-sectional and longitudinal statistical analyses exploring the relation between cannabis consumption and liver function, after excluding those patients with hazardous alcohol drinking.
