Risk of Subjection to Violence and Perpetration of Violence in Persons With Psychiatric Disorders in Sweden.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Key outcomes for persons with psychiatric disorders include subjection to violence and perpetration of violence. The occurrence of these outcomes and their associations with psychiatric disorders need to be clarified.

Objective

To estimate the associations of a wide range of psychiatric disorders with the risks of subjection to violence and perpetration of violence.

Design, setting, and participants

A total of 250 419 individuals born between January 1, 1973, and December 31, 1993, were identified to have psychiatric disorders using Swedish nationwide registers. Premorbid subjection to violence was measured since birth. The patients were matched by age and sex to individuals in the general population (n = 2 504 190) and to their full biological siblings wit
