Key result
The number of hospital admissions (OR 0.70, P=0.01) and Schedule for Assessment of Insight score (OR 1.18, P=0.04) were identified as significant risk factors for 1-year readmission in schizophrenia.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to identify more robust risk factors at discharge that contribute to readmission within a year among patients with schizophrenia.
What are the risk factors for readmission within a year in patients with schizophrenia treated with combined psychoeducation and standard therapy?

What are the risk factors for readmission within a year in patients with schizophrenia treated with combined psychoeducation and standard therapy?
Improvement in insight and early intervention may lead to a more stable community life and reduce readmission in patients with schizophrenia.
BACKGROUND: We conducted a historical cohort study of patients with schizophrenia to identify more robust risk factors at discharge that contribute to readmission within a year. METHODS AND FINDINGS: The subjects underwent brief psychoeducation during hospitalization. Multivariate analysis was conducted using factors selected in the univariate analysis. Using logistic regression analysis, the number of hospital admissions (P = .01) and Schedule for Assessment of Insight Japanese version score (P = .04) were identified as risk factors for readmission, with odds ratios of 0.70 and 1.18, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that improvement in insight and early intervention may lead to a more stable community life.

Sugisawa et al. (2022) conducted a cohort in Schizophrenia. Number of hospital admissions and Schedule for Assessment of Insight score was evaluated on Readmission within a year (OR 0.70 and OR 1.18, p=0.01 and 0.04). The number of hospital admissions (OR 0.70, P=0.01) and Schedule for Assessment of Insight score (OR 1.18, P=0.04) were identified as significant risk factors for 1-year readmission in schizophrenia.
