EPO and schizophrenia: Compared to the comparison subgroup, the dialysis-schizophrenia subgroup had a lower chance of seeing nephrologists (OR = 0.6, 95% CI 0.4–0.8, P < .001), a lower likelihood of receiving EPO prescription (OR = 0.7, 95% CI 0.6–0.9, P < .05) within 6 months before starting dialysis, and a higher risk of hospital admission in the first year after starting dialysis (OR = 1.4, 95% CI 1.0–1.8, P < .05).
