Background We conducted a historical cohort study of patients with schizophrenia to identify more robust risk factors at discharge that contribute to readmission within a year. Methods and Findings The subjects underwent brief psychoeducation during hospitalization. Multivariate analysis was conducted using factors selected in the univariate analysis. Using logistic regression analysis, the number of hospital admissions ( P = .01) and Schedule for Assessment of Insight Japanese version score ( P = .04) were identified as risk factors for readmission, with odds ratios of 0.70 and 1.18, respectively. Conclusions These results suggest that improvement in insight and early intervention may lead to a more stable community life.
