Background:  The first rate-limiting step for primary indicated prevention of psychosis is the detection of young people who may be at risk. The ability of specialized clinics to detect individuals at risk for psychosis is limited. A clinically based, individualized, transdiagnostic risk calculator has been developed and externally validated to improve the detection of individuals at risk in secondary mental health care. This calculator employs core sociodemographic and clinical predictors, including age, which is defined in linear terms. Recent evidence has suggested a nonlinear impact of age on the probability of psychosis onset.    Aim:  To define at a meta-analytical level the function linking age and probability of psychosis onset. To incorporate this function in a refined version of the transdiagnostic risk calculator and to test its prognostic performance, compared to the original specification.    Design:  Secondary analyses on a previously published meta-analysis and clinical register-based cohort study based on 2008–2015 routine secondary mental health care in South London and Maudsley (SLaM) National Health Service (NHS) Foundation Trust.    Participants:  All patients receiving a first index diagnosis of non-organic/non-psychotic mental disorder within SLaM NHS Trust in the period 2008–2015.    Main outcome measure:  Prognostic accuracy (Harrell’s  C ).    Results:  A total of 91,199 patients receiving a first index diagnosis of non-organic and non-psychotic mental disorder within SLaM NHS Trust were included in the derivation (33,820) or external validation (54,716) datasets. The mean follow-up was 1,588 days. The meta-analytical estimates showed that a second-degree fractional polynomial model with power (−2, −1: age1 = age −2  and age2 = age −1 ) was the best-fitting model ( P  < 0.001). The refined model that included this function showed an excellent prognostic accuracy in the external validation (Harrell’s  C  = 0.805, 95% CI from 0.790 to 0.819), which was statistically higher than the original model, although of modest magnitude (Harrell’s  C  change = 0.0136, 95% CIs from 0.006 to 0.021,  P  < 0.001).    Conclusions:  The use of a refined version of the clinically based, individualized, transdiagnostic risk calculator, which allows for nonlinearity in the association between age and risk of psychosis onset, may offer a modestly improved prognostic performance. This calculator may be particularly useful in young individuals at risk of developing psychosis who access secondary mental health care.
