Translating research into practice: the Schizophrenia Patient Outcomes Research Team (PORT) treatment recommendations

Abstract

Beginning in 1992, the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research and the National Institute of Mental Health funded the Schizophrenia Patient Outcomes Research Team (PORT) to develop and disseminate recommendations for the treatment of schizophrenia based on existing scientific evidence. These Treatment Recommendations, presented here in final form for the first time, are based on exhaustive reviews of the treatment outcomes literature (previously published in Schizophrenia Bulletin, Vol. 21, No. 4, 1995) and focus on those treatments for which there is substantial evidence of efficacy. The recommendations address antipsychotic agents, adjunctive pharmacotherapies, electroconvulsive therapy, psychological interventions, family interventions, vocational rehabilitation, and assertive community treatment/intensive case management. Support for each recommendation is referenced to the previous PORT literature reviews, and the recommendations are rated according to the level of supporting evidence. The PORT Treatment Recommendations provide a basis for moving toward "evidence-based" practice for schizophrenia and identify both the strengths and limitations in our current knowledge base.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • It is likely that discontinuation studies employing linear dose reductions will be more likely to induce withdrawal reactions (including, potentially, withdrawal psychosis) because reductions in D2 antagonism become increasingly large, causing greater likelihood of dopaminergic rebound.

    “It is, therefore, likely that discontinuation studies employing linear dose reductions,74,83,84,86,87 as recommended in some older guidelines,94 will be more likely to induce withdrawal reactions (including, potentially, withdrawal psychosis) because reductions in D2 antagonism become increasingly large, causing greater likelihood of dopaminergic rebound.”

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.
