- Abstract
Background: Gender differences in psychosis are a topic that has been studied considering different aspects. Although some available evidence would point to a possible better prognosis in women, this claim is far from conclusively established. Methods: We propose an analysis of gender differences in the risk of readmission to an acute hospitalization unit, an indicator related to prognosis. Results and conclusions: We found that although the risk of readmission at 1 year is lower in women, this seems to be explained by other confounding factors.
