Inequity in cardiometabolic hospital admissions and blood screening in New Zealand Indigenous Maori with psychosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

People with psychosis experience worse cardiometabolic health than the same-aged general population. In New Zealand, Indigenous Māori experiencing psychosis have greater risk of cardiometabolic and other physical health problems.

Aims

To identify a cohort of adults accessing secondary mental health and addiction services in New Zealand, with a previous psychosis diagnosis as of 1 January 2018, and compare odds of hospital admission outcomes, mortality and receipt of cardiometabolic blood screening between Māori and non-Māori in the following 2 years.

Method

Crude and adjusted logistic regression models compared odds of hospital admission outcomes, mortality and receipt of cardiometabolic blood screening (lipids and haemoglobin A_1c) between Māori
