Analysis of factors influencing relapse in elderly patients with schizophrenia and its correlation with nu-tritional status
Objective The influence factors of relapse in elderly patients with schizophrenia and its correlation with nutritional status.Methods 130 elderly patients with schizophrenia in our hospital from January 2022 to Decem-ber 2022 were selected and followed up for 1 year,According to the results of the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale(BPRS),they were divided into a recurrent group(n=43)and a non recurrent group(n=87)Nutritional Risk Screening2002(NRS2002)and mini-nutritional assessment(MNA)scores were compared between the two groups.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of relapse in elderly schizophrenia.Results The pro-portion of body mass index(BMI)<25kg/m2,disease course≥5 years,positive family history,drug noncompli-ance,NRS2002 ≥ 3 points,MNA<24 points in relapse group was higher than that in non-relapse group(P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis confirmed that BMI<25kg/m2,duration≥5 years,positive family history,non-compliance,NRS2002≥3 points,MNA<24 points were all risk factors for relapse of elderly schizophrenia,all with P<0.05.Conclusion The BMI,duration,family history,medication adherence and nutrition are the influence factors of patients with recurrence,patients with malnutrition will increase the risk of recurrence,should focus on the patients with nutritional imbalance,take timely intervention measures to reduce the possibility of recurrence.
