Modelling disease frequency measures in schizophrenia epidemiology

Background: Recent systematic reviews have compiled estimates related to the incidence. prevalence and mortality associated with schizophrenia. The aims of this study were (a) to model various frequency measures, (b) to examine the consistency of the published versus the modelled estimates, and (c) to explore the relative change in prevalence estimates after adjustments were made to incidence, remission, and mortality estimates
