Hospital-based annual incidence rates for schizophrenia in Croatia over 1965–84 did not change significantly. Rates ranged from 0.21 to 0.22 per 1000 population (0.26–0.29 per 1000 population aged over 15). Factors that could influence these rates were analysed, but it appeared that the rates were a true reflection of the incidence rate of schizophrenia in the Croatian population.
