The authors report a study of treated prevalence and incidence of schizophrenic and related functional psychoses in an area of northeastern Italy (Portogruaro), based on case-register data. Point, 1-year, and lifetime prevalence as well as incidence rates on the adult population for a broad ICD-9 diagnosis of schizophrenia are given. Data over an 8-year period show the incidence around .2/1000, point prevalence around 1.4, 1-year prevalence of 2.7, and lifetime prevalence around 5.2. The rates peak in the 45 to 64 age group on all measures of prevalence. The implications of these findings are discussed in the light of methodological issues in epidemiological studies of schizophrenia and comparisons are made with figures from other countries.
作者基于病例登记数据报告了一项关于意大利东北部一个地区（波尔托格鲁阿罗）精神分裂症及相关功能性精神病的治疗患病率和发病率的研究。给出了针对精神分裂症广泛的国际疾病分类第九版（ICD - 9）诊断的时点患病率、1年患病率、终生患病率以及成年人口的发病率。8年期间的数据显示，发病率约为0.2/1000，时点患病率约为1.4，1年患病率为2.7，终生患病率约为5.2。在所有患病率衡量指标中，患病率在45至64岁年龄组达到峰值。根据精神分裂症流行病学研究中的方法学问题对这些发现的意义进行了讨论，并与其他国家的数据进行了比较。
