Trends and disparities in schizophrenia related mortality in the United States: An analysis of CDC WONDER database, 1999–2020
This study reveals an increase in the age-adjusted mortality rate (AAMR) for schizophrenia-related deaths among adults from 1999 to 2020, which highlights critical insights for healthcare professionals and policymakers. Further research is needed to identify modifiable factors to reduce morbidity and mortality, potentially easing the burden on healthcare resources and improving the quality of life for those with schizophrenia. Understanding these trends is essential for addressing gaps in the healthcare system and directing resources to areas of greatest need.
