a Heatmap displaying the proportion hospitalized due to a psychiatric diagnosis each year (colored) in relationship to SZ-PGS deciles (y-axis) and age (x-axis). In individuals with schizophrenia a high SZ-PGS was associated with an increased need of psychiatric hospital care (β = 0.067, p = 1.58e-06). b The proportion hospitalized for a primary psychiatric diagnosis in relation to SZ-PGS. The hospitalization data was aligned for the time-point of first recorded psychotic illness. A high SZ-PGS was associated with an increased need of hospital care post psychotic illness onset (β = 0.054, p = 1.00e-04). [SZ-PGS strata: Low = <20% (n = 1 096); Middle = 20–60% (n = 3 287); High = >80% (n = 1 096); total n = 5 479].
