Abstract

Background

Gender differences in psychosis are a topic that has been studied considering different aspects. Although some available evidence would point to a possible better prognosis in women, this claim is far from conclusively established.

Methods

We propose an analysis of gender differences in the risk of readmission to an acute hospitalization unit, an indicator related to prognosis.

Results and conclusions

We found that although the risk of readmission at 1 year is lower in women, this seems to be explained by other confounding factors.

背景：精神病的性别差异是一个从不同方面进行研究的课题。虽然一些现有证据表明女性的预后可能更好，但这一说法远未得到证实：方法：我们建议对急性住院部再入院风险的性别差异进行分析，这是一项与预后相关的指标：结果和结论：我们发现，虽然女性在 1 年后再次入院的风险较低，但这似乎是由其他干扰因素造成的。
