Background: Long-acting injectable antipsychotics (LAIs) reduce relapses in schizophrenia; however, most clinicians reserve LAIs for nonadherence with oral antipsychotics (OAs) or severe disease.
Methods: US psychiatric clinicians were surveyed regarding their schizophrenia management practices and use of LAIs. Respondents were grouped by LAI use (high [≥ 31% of patients using LAIs], low [≤ 14% using LAIs]; mid not analyzed) and mindset based on their response to "Which of the following best fits the current way you view your use of [LAIs] for your patients with schizophrenia?"
Results: Respondents (n = 380) were distributed across LAI use (106 high, 130 low) and mindset (123 early-use, 88 severity-reserved, 113 adherence-reserved, 56 LAI-hesitant) subgroups.

Rationale: Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a rare, life-threatening complication of neuroleptic (antipsychotic) medications. Paliperidone is an atypical antipsychotic used in the treatment of schizophrenia. While current evidence suggests that atypical oral antipsychotics have a lower incidence of NMS compared to typical oral antipsychotics, there is limited information available on the incidence and management of NMS associated with long-acting injectable (LAI) antipsychotics.

Clozapine has superior efficacy to other antipsychotics, especially in patients with treatment-resistant schizophrenia. However, its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics vary largely among patients. We aimed to evaluate the clinical and genetic factors associated with the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of clozapine in patients with schizophrenia.
