The leading indications for intervention were risk of harm to others\/public safety (36.10%) and aggressive behaviors (26.07%). Multivariable regression identified seven independent risk factors, while regular community rehabilitation was a protective factor (all\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0&amp;lt;\u00a00.05).
