Summary:碩士 === 國立高雄師範大學 === 人力與知識管理研究所 === 107 === The object of this research was to evaluate the direct medical cost and the sex differences of the first-episode schizophrenia during index hospitalization over a 8-year period.

The average medical cost was approximately US$4,350 per patient. Age at the first-admission、age of onset、length of hospitalization and follow-up after discharge within 180 days are significantly different between male and female patients.
