Parenthood and all-cause mortality in older adults with schizophrenia: a multicenter 5-year prospective study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThe large body of literature examining the association between parenthood and mortality in the general population contrasts with a lack of such studies on older adults with schizophrenia. Identifying potential protective factors of premature death in this population is important to help guide prevention measures. Here, we examined whether all-cause and cause-specific mortality rates significantly differ between older parents and non-parents with schizophrenia during a 5-year follow-up.
methodsWe used data from a 5-year prospective multicenter sample of older adults with an ICD-10 diagnosis of schizophrenia (aged 55 years or more) recruited in France. We performed a forward stepwise logistic regression to examine the association between parenthood and all-cause mortality, including only independent variables that best explain outcome.
resultsOf the 323 older adults with schizophrenia, 133 (41.2%) were parents (mean age = 67.0, SD = 6.1) and 190 were not (mean age = 67.2, SD = 6.6). Following adjustments, parenthood was significantly associated with lower all-cause mortality compared to patients without children (21.1% [n=28] vs. 35.8% [n=68]; AOR = 0.50; 95%CI 0.27-0.94; p = 0.032); the association involved no significant sex differences.
conclusionParenthood could be a protective factor against mortality among older patients with schizophrenia who live in France. Further research is needed to understand the specific mechanisms underlying this association.
