According to the results of the GPR, the lower age at the onset of the disease (IRR = 1.02;P = 0.008), illiteracy (IRR = 2.06;P = 0.003), living in urban areas (IRR = 1.56;P = 0.015), history of psychiatric illnesses in the family (IRR = 1.75;P = 0.004), history of emotional problems (IRR = 1.42;P = 0.028) and having medical disorders (IRR = 1.44;P = 0.035) were positively associated with the number of hospitalizations.
