Abstract

Purpose of review This review will aim to summarize the current body of epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic knowledge concerning specific co-occurrence of obsessive-compulsive symptoms (OCSs) and schizophrenia spectrum disorder.Recent findings Almost 30% of the patients with schizophrenia display OCS, and three main contexts of emergence are identified: prodromal symptoms of schizophrenia, co-occurrence of OCS and schizophrenia and antipsychotics-induced OCS. Recent clinical studies show that patients with SZ and OCS have more severe psychotic and depressive symptoms, higher suicidality and lower social functioning. A recent cognitive investigation found that OCS and delusions share specific metacognitive profiles, particularly through a heightened need to control thoughts. Finally, a recent cross-sectional study of clozapine-induced OCS found a dose-response relationship between clozapine and OCS. OCS appeared reliably as linked to poorer outcomes among patients with schizophrenia. However, the specific clinical value of OCS among other prodromal symptoms of schizophrenia remains unknown.

  2. In a retrospective chart review of 29 patients with early onset SZ (10 with OCS/SZ, 19 SZ), patients suffering from SZ/OCS received significantly higher doses of antipsychotics during the first episode and at assessment (no sociodemographic differences, similar duration of illnesses and had comparable severity scores on PANSS).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
