Adherence to Oral Antipsychotics Measured by Electronic Adherence Monitoring in Schizophrenia: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Background: Poor adherence to oral antipsychotics is common in patients with schizophrenia; nonetheless, there has been no systematic review or meta-analysis on medication adherence measured by electronic adherence monitoring (EAM), considered by many as the 'gold standard' assessment.

Methods: We systematically searched MEDLINE and Embase to identify studies investigating adherence to oral antipsychotics using EAM in patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorder. There were no exclusion criteria.

Relationship between polydipsia and antipsychotics: A systematic review of clinical studies and case reports.

Objective: This systematic review aimed to elucidate the relationship between polydipsia and antipsychotics.

Methods: We systematically searched MEDLINE, Embase, and PsycINFO, and included clinical studies and case reports on polydipsia induced or improved by antipsychotics.

Results: We identified 61 articles: 1 double-blind randomized controlled trial (RCT), 4 single-arm trials, 1 cross-sectional study, 3 case series, and 52 case reports.

Representativeness of clinical PET study participants with schizophrenia: A systematic review.

While positron emission tomography (PET) studies have provided invaluable data on antipsychotic effects, selection bias remains a serious concern. A systematic review of PET studies that measured dopamine D receptor blockade with antipsychotics was conducted to examine their inclusion/exclusion criteria, using PubMed, EMBASE, and ClinicalTrials.gov (last search, September 2016).
