N2 - The shift towards early intervention in borderline personality disorder (BPD) has introduced a clinical staging approach in the treatment for young persons with BPD. Complementary to staging is profiling: the identification of psychological, social and biological risk variables that may predict prognosis. The aim of this paper is to provide a risk profile for BPD by systematically reviewing literature on potential risk markers for poor prognosis for BPD. An extensive literature search revealed evidence for seven categories of risk factors: adverse childhood experiences, BPD symptom profile, associated mental disorders, personality impairments and traits, current interpersonal context, biological disposition and socio-demographics. Including these markers within the current staging approach, to compose individual risk profiles for poor BPD prognosis, may assist in personalizing treatment for young people with BPD and in refining research protocols for treatment outcome studies.
