Long‐acting injectable antipsychotics in early psychosis: a literature review

Emsley, Robin, Chiliza, Bonginkosi, Asmal, Laila, Mashile, Mpogisheng, Fusar‐Poli, Paolo·2013·Early Intervention in Psychiatry

Abstract

Aim: There are sound reasons for considering the use of long‐acting injectable antipsychotics early in the course of schizophrenia. We reviewed available literature on the subject. Method: We conducted an electronic database search and critically reviewed all studies in which a long‐acting injectable antipsychotic was evaluated in early psychosis patients. Results: There is a need for well‐designed studies as most of those reported were open‐label and non‐comparative, and samples were frequently small. Conclusions: The available evidence does suggest that long‐acting injectable antipsychotics can be used safely and effectively in early stages of the illness, and that they may be associated with better outcomes than with oral medications. However, this is largely supported by evidence from naturalistic cohort studies and a small number of controlled trials of risperidone long‐acting injection. Evidence for olanzapine and paliperidone long‐acting injectables in particular is limited.

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.
