We initially examined the effect of refugee status on risk of non-affective psychotic disorder, after adjustment for age at risk, sex, and their interaction, if statistically significant.

This finding was even more pronounced in men (likelihood ratio test P = 0.007), such that rates of non-affective psychotic disorder were elevated in refugees compared with migrants from all regions of origin, except sub-Saharan Africa (hazard ratio 0.68, 0.40 to 1.16), after adjustment for age at risk, sex, disposable income, and population density (table 3 ⇓).

Refugees were 1.66 (1.32 to 2.09) times more likely to be diagnosed as having non-affective psychotic disorders than were migrants.

Next, to determine whether risk of non-affective psychotic disorder in refugees relative to migrants differed by region of origin, we fitted a Cox regression model to a subset of the cohort, excluding the Swedish - born group who did not contribute information to these analyses.

The crude incidence rate of non-affective psychotic disorders was 38.5 (95 % confidence interval 37.2 to 39.9) per 100 000 person years in the Swedish - born population, 80.4 (72.7 to 88.9) per 100 000 person years in migrants, and 126.4 (103.1 to 154.8) per 100 000 person years in refugees.

So a team of researchers from the Karolinska Institutet and UCL carried out a study to determine the risk of schizophrenia and other non-affective psychotic disorders among refugees, compared to non-refugee migrants, and the general Swedish population.

The researchers used a linked national register data to examine more than 1.3 million people in Sweden, and tracked diagnoses of non-affective psychotic disorders among the population.

Refugees granted asylum were on average 66 % more likely to develop schizophrenia or another non-affective psychotic disorder than non-refugee migrants.

Overall, they say «our findings are consistent with the hypothesis that increased risk of non-affective psychotic disorders among immigrants is due to a higher frequency of exposure to social adversity before migration, including the effects of war, violence, or persecution.»

Results showed 3,704 cases of non-affective psychotic disorders during the 8.9 million person years of follow up.
