However, factors related to the mortality risk among people with schizophrenia in low and middle-income countries remain to be examined. This study aims to explore the clinical factors for all-cause mortality in people with schizophrenia.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>We conducted a 9-year retrospective cohort study on people with schizophrenia in Guangzhou, China. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis and competing risk analysis was used to identify clinical factors associated with all-cause mortality and specific-cause mortality. A propensity score matching method was performed to minimize the impact of confounding factors.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>The overall age-standardized mortality rate in people with schizophrenia between 2013 and 2021 was 1606.04 per 100,000 person-years. We found that medical expenses not covered by medical insurance (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]: 2.49 [95 % CI: 2.21–2.82]), relatively-stable (aHR: 1.18 [95 % CI: 1.01–1.38]) and unstable illness (aHR: 2.65 [95 % CI: 1.90–3.68]), history of non-continuous treatment (aHR: 1.35 [95 % CI: 1.25–1.46]), and no treatment history (aHR: 1.41 [95 % CI: 1.29–1.55]) were associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality. Frequent hospital stays (once: aHR: 0.46 [95 % CI: 0.42–0.50], more than once: aHR: 0.23 [95 % CI: 0.21–0.26]) and a family history of mental disorders (aHR: 0.50 [95 % CI: 0.40–0.64]) were associated with a lower risk of mortality.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>We identified clinical factors associated with all-cause mortality.

A two-sample <em>t</em>-test was conducted to explore FOCA and lFCD differences between MDD patients and HCs, then analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and <em>post hoc</em> tests were performed to obtain brain regions with significant differences among three groups. Finally, the diagnostic performance of FOCA and lFCD values with significant inter-group difference was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Compared to HCs, MDD patients showed decreased FOCA in the right cuneus (CUN) and left postcentral gyrus (PoCG), as well as diminished lFCD in the right CUN and left calcarine fissure and surrounding cortex (CAL). Interestingly, the MDD-WA group was more likely to exhibit decreased FOCA in the left PoCG and reduced lFCD in the left CAL after consideration for the effect of anhedonia in MDD patients. The MDD-WA group further showed increased FOCA in the bilateral caudate (CAU) and right ventral anterior nucleus (VA) when comparing to HCs. Additionally, as compared with MDD-WoA group, the MDD-WA group presented decreased FOCA in the right middle occipital gyrus (MOG), which was also negatively associated with the severity of anhedonia in MDD patients. Finally, FOCA values of the right MOG exhibited excellent discriminant validity in differentiating MDD-WA from MDD-WoA, and the other individual or combined indices of FOCA or lFCD values in the aforementioned distinct brain regions presented significant utility in distinguishing between MDD or MDD-WA and HCs.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>The present findings suggest that aberrant intrinsic brain function in the left CAL, left PoCG, bilateral CAU, right VA, and, especially the right MOG may be associated with anhedonia in patients with MDD. Altered FOCA in the right MOG may have the potential to be a diagnostic neuroimaging biomarker for MDD patients with anhedonia.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8543,"journal":{"name":"Asian journal of psychiatry","volume":"104 ","pages":"Article 104380"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143073552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
