Typical and atypical antipsychotics differentially affect long-term incidence rates of the metabolic syndrome in first-episode patients with schizophrenia: A retrospective chart review

Abstract: The presence of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. There are limited data on the prevalence of MetS in patients with schizophrenia at the onset of the disorder and specifically no data on patients treated in the era when only first-generation antipsychotics were available.Methods: Data from a historic cohort of consecutively admitted first-episode patients with schizophrenia treated with first-generation antipsychotics (FGAs) were compared with an… Show more

“…Metabolic syndrome has been recognized as a risk factor in patients with severe mental illnesses like schizophrenia. 25 However, De Hert et al 26 reported prevalence of metabolic syndrome to be three times more in second-generation antipsychotic treated group than in the first-generation treated patients contrary to our findings. Majority of atypical antipsychotics have been associated with weight gain.…”

“…3 In a study of MetS in first-episode patients with schizophrenia treated with typical or AAPs, it was found that, at first episode, there was no difference in the prevalence of MetS between the historical and the current cohort. 4 However, rates of MetS increased over time in both groups, but patients treated with AAPs had a three times higher incidence rate of MetS (odds ratio 3.6). In another study of 3-month follow-up of female patients with schizophrenia treated with AAPs, it was found, at baseline, 15% fulfilled criteria for MetS, and, after 3 months of treatment, 27% fulfilled criteria for MetS.…”

“…Hypotheses on the association between schizophrenia and diabetes (adapted from Leucht et al [2007aLeucht et al [ , 2007b of the study group varied, however male patients appeared to be over represented. In most studies the mean age of participants in the study group was over 40 years of age, and only a few studies referred to patients with first episode schizophrenia [Attux et al 2007;Saddichha et al 2007;De Hert et al 2008b;Saddichha et al 2008;Curtis et al 2011]. The predominant diagnosis of patients studied was schizophrenia, however a great number of studies also included patients with schizoaffective disorder and other psychotic disorders.…”
