| Abstract |
Schizophrenia is a recurrent, debilitating disease that is rarely curable. Rapid intervention after the first episode of schizophrenia has been shown to positively affect the prognosis. Unfortunately, basic data is scarce on first-episode schizophrenia in Korean patients making it difficult to create a comprehensive list of risk factors for relapse. This study aims to investigate the demographic characteristics and institutional factors of patients with first-episode schizophrenia in order to identify risk factors for relapse. Data from the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service (HIRA) was used for this study to represent the Korean patient population. To identify factors affecting relapse, we explored gender, age, geographic location, medical benefits, type of medical institution, type of medication used, medication adherence, and the severity of symptoms. Data analysis was performed using the Cox proportional hazard model. The number of patients diagnosed with first-episode schizophrenia in Korea over a 2-year period was 4567 of which 1265 (27.7%) patients experienced a relapse during the observational period. Factors affecting relapse included age, type of medical institution, type of medication used, medication adherence, and type of treatment (inpatient or outpatient) after the initial diagnosis, which varied depending upon the severity of symptoms. It was found that environmental and institutional factors as well as the type of medical treatment were crucial in determining whether patients with first-episode schizophrenia subsequently relapsed. The results of this study can be utilized as source material for directing therapeutic interventions and improving mental health policies in the future. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 March 2018.
All research outputs
#3,647,720
of 23,025,074 outputs
Outputs from International Journal of Mental Health Systems
#201
of 720 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#72,817
of 331,404 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Journal of Mental Health Systems
#10
of 14 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,025,074 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 84th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 720 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.4. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 71% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 331,404 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 14 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
