Prevalence of schizophrenia spectrum disorders in the Lazio region, Italy: use of an algorithm based on health administrative databases
Our results show that the overall prevalence of SSD among adults in the Lazio region is similar to those published in previous reviews, but an uneven regional distribution was observed. While possible underestimation must be considered, administrative databases represent a valuable source of information for epidemiological surveillance and healthcare planning.
