NCT00446992
Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study was to describe metabolic changes in the first 16 weeks of anti-psychotic treatment in previously drug-naïve patients with psychosis.
We hypothesize that in drug-naive patients, greater insulin resistance prior to treatment predicts a disproportionately greater increase in insulin resistance with olanzapine treatment.
Detailed Description:
Antipsychotic medications are associated with an increased risk of diabetes. We focused on a description of early metabolic adverse effects and clinical and biochemical features that might predict these adverse effects.
