英文摘要	We noticed an unusual increase of aged adults in first-episode schizophrenia in January and February 2020 since the outbreak of COVID-19. This retrospective study aims to statistically validate this observation and find potential risk factors, if applicable. The demographics of schizophrenia in outpatients (both first-episode and follow-up) from January to March 2020 (36,624 records) and similar periods of 2017-2019 (114,141 records) were analyzed and compared to minimize seasonal influence. Limited personal information (age, gender, approximate residence) was investigated to find risk factors. After considering seasonal factors such as the Spring festival, the age of the first-episode schizophrenia was significantly increased in January (46.60 +/- 15.14) and February (51.53 +/- 14.74) but went back to normal in March 2020 (38.89 +/- 14.59), compared with similar periods from 2017 to 2019 (Jan., 40.77 +/- 15.26; Feb., 39.69 +/- 15.10; Mar., 42.04 +/- 15.83). Meanwhile, a slight but not significant change was found in the distribution of gender and approximate residence (urban/suburb). Our data supported that risk of first-episode schizophrenia in aged adults increased during the COVID-19 outbreak, which is consistent with the fact that COVID-19 is more lethal to elders. Public healthcare should prepare in advance for potential risks in public mental health, especially for elders.
