Disparities in the incidence and prevalence of psychotic disorders among people with and without disabilities in south Korea: A national database study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Numerous epidemiological studies on psychotic disorders have been conducted, however, most were from an etiological perspective, used small sample sizes, or focused on a limited number of disabilities. Few studies have investigated all types of disabilities over a long observation period, and none have included the entire adult population of a country. To explore potential differences in the incidence and prevalence of psychotic disorders between patients with and without disabilities, we conducted a serial cross-sectional study.

Methods

This study was conducted using a data set linking the Korean National Health Insurance Service database, and disability registration data. Age-standardized incidence or prevalence rates were calculated for each year during 2008-20
