OBJECTIVES: In Taiwan, there has been a growing emphasis on physical health screening, health education and improving access to treatment in patients with schizophrenia (SCZ). However, sexual health needs, including screening and prevention of sexually transmitted infections (STI), are neglected in this population. The study aimed to investigate the association between SCZ and the subsequent incident STI and to examine potential risk factors.
METHODS: Using the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan, 58,948 SCZ patients and 235,784 controls matched by gender and age were enrolled between 2000 and 2010 and followed until the end of 2011. Participants who developed any STI (HIV, syphilis, genital warts, gonorrhea, chlamydial infection, and trichomoniasis) during the follow-up period were identified. Cox regression analysis was performed to examine the risk of STI between SCZ patients and controls.
RESULTS: SCZ patients were predisposed to developing STI (hazard ratio (HR): 1.11, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.01-1.21) that could be caused by syphilis (HR: 2.58, 95% CI: 2.14-3.10) or possibly HIV (Crude HR: 1.39, 95% CI: 1.04-1.86; adjusted HR: 1.11, 95% CI: 0.81-1.52). Additionally, this study found that female, young adults, low-income, living in less urbanized areas, and comorbid substance abuse were potential risk factors for developing STI.
CONCLUSION: This study shows that SCZ is associated with an increased risk of developing STI, which has direct implications for the development of targeted prevention interventions or regular sexual health screening in mental health clinics to reduce the disproportionate burden of HIV and other STI in SCZ patients.
