| Abstract: | Introduction: Cognitive functioning in bipolar disorder is heterogeneous with evidence for multiple subgroups. However, cognitive subgroup change patterns over time remains unknown. While prior work suggests minimal differences in cognitive functioning patterns over time between those with bipolar disorder and controls, group‐based analyses may obscure unique subgroup‐based changes. Material and Methods: Participants diagnosed with bipolar disorder (I, II, NOS; n = 568) and unaffected controls (n = 234) completed baseline, one‐ and five‐year neuropsychological assessments. Data reduction techniques were used to limit the number of neuropsychological variables. Bipolar disorder participant baseline neuropsychological data were entered into hierarchical cluster analyses and resultant clusters were entered in multilevel models, which tested for differences in baseline and longitudinal cognitive changes in cognition among the cluster groups and with controls. Results: Results were consistent with bipolar disorder participants forming three subgroups with high (n = 209), mid (n = 259), and low (n = 100) cognition. These groups were associated with unique clinical characteristics. Multilevel models demonstrated that over a five‐year period, the low group improved, relative to the high and mid groups, and with controls, in auditory memory. Over the five‐year period, the mid group, in comparison with the high group, improved in visual memory; additionally, the high group remained stable, in comparison with a slight decline in the control group, in inhibitory control. Conclusion: These results demonstrate that cognition‐based subgroups of bipolar disorder participants have minimal differences in their longitudinal course in relation to each other and with unaffected controls.
