O5.7. risk of diabetic complications and subsequent mortality among individuals with schizophrenia and diabetes mellitus: a nationwide population-based register study
DiscussionUnexpectedly, we found individuals with comorbid schizophrenia and diabetes mellitus to have a similar or lower rate of diabetic complications diagnosed in hospitals compared to individuals with diabetes mellitus only. However, we still found an excess mortality following a diagnosis of a diabetic complication among individuals with schizophrenia. These results may indicate that individuals are not even seen in hospitals with their diabetic complications and hence indicate an increased need for improved somatic care of individuals with schizophrenia if the burden of diabetes mellitus morbidity and mortality should be reduced.
