Abstract in brief

This study found that patients in South Korea diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) have a higher risk of developing schizophrenia compared to those without OCD, based on national health data from 2002 to 2013.
The analysis showed that individuals with OCD had an incidence rate of 457.9 per 100,000 person-years, while those without OCD had a rate of 41.9 per 100,000, indicating a significant association even after adjusting for other factors (hazard ratio 1.046).
The researchers suggest that there is a link between OCD and an increased risk of schizophrenia, but they emphasize the need for future studies with a more controlled and prospective design to determine if OCD actually causes schizophrenia.]
