Declarations of interest

HB worked for Enhance Reviews Ltd. during preparation of this review and was paid for her contribution to this review. Enhance Reviews Ltd. is a private company that performs systematic reviews of literature. HB works for Cochrane Response, an evidence consultancy that takes commissions from healthcare guideline developers and policy makers.

JR is not aware of any conflicts of interest for this review.

VA has declared no known conflicts of interest for this review.

KSW is the Deputy Editor‐in‐Chief for Cochrane and Cochrane Innovations. When the NHIR HTA programme grant relevant to this review update was awarded, KSW was the Managing Director of Enhance Reviews Ltd.

One of the earlier reviewers (JJM) is a member of the following advisory boards: Janssen‐Cilag Australia, Eli Lilly Australia, Lundbeck Australia. In addition, JJM has been a co‐investigator on studies of neuroleptic medications produced by the following companies: Astra Zeneca (ICI), Janssen‐Cilag, Eli Lilly, Sandoz, and Pfizer. The same companies have provided travel and accommodation expenses for JJM to attend relevant investigator meetings and scientific symposia. No funds have been paid directly to JJM. Payments related to participation in drug trials and board attendance has been paid to a Government‐audited trust account to support schizophrenia research.

Acknowledgements

Differences between protocol and review

The protocol as published with this review has evolved over time. The revisions of protocol are in line with the development of Review Manager and in keeping with Cochrane guidance. We think the revisions have greatly improved and enhanced this review. We do not think, however, that it has materially affected our conduct of the review or interpretation of the results.

There was a substantial update to the protocol in the 2017 review update. The biggest changes to affect the review were to:

  1. broaden the inclusion criteria, and add the comparison 'Specific antipsychotic versus other drug';

  2. change the title from 'Neuroleptic reduction and/or cessation and neuroleptics as specific treatments for tardive dyskinesia' to 'Antipsychotic reduction and/or cessation and antipsychotics as specific treatments for tardive dyskinesia';

  3. update list of outcomes following consultation with consumers; and

  4. add 'Summary of findings' tables.

Previous methods are reproduced in Appendix 1.

El uso y la enseñanza del modelo PICO están muy extendidos en el ámbito de la atención sanitaria basada en la evidencia para formular preguntas y estrategias de búsqueda y para caracterizar estudios o metanálisis clínicos. PICO son las siglas en inglés de cuatro posibles componentes de una pregunta de investigación: paciente, población o problema; intervención; comparación; desenlace (outcome).

Para saber más sobre el uso del modelo PICO, puede consultar el Manual Cochrane.

Methods

Allocation: randomised, with sequence generation and concealment of allocation clearly described
Blindness: double, tested
Duration: 12 months beyond end of intervention at least
Raters: independent

Participants

People with antipsychotic‐induced tardive dyskinesiaa
Age: any
Sex: both
History: any
N = 300b

Interventions

1. Antipsychotic reduction/cessation (N = 150) vs antipsychotic maintenance (N = 150)

OR

2. Specific antipsychotic (N = 150) vs other specific antipsychotic (N = 150)

Outcomes

Tardive dyskinesia: any clinically important improvement in tardive dyskinesia, any improvement, deteriorationc
Adverse effects: no clinically significant extrapyramidal adverse effects ‐ any time periodc, use of any antiparkinsonism drugs, other important adverse events
Leaving the study early
Service outcomes: admitted, number of admissions, length of hospitalisation, contacts with psychiatric services
Compliance with drugs
Economic evaluations: cost‐effectiveness, cost‐benefit
General state: relapse, frequency and intensity of minor and major exacerbations
Social confidence, social inclusion, social networks, or personalised quality of life: binary measure
Distress among relatives: binary measure
Burden on family: binary measure

Notes

aThis could be diagnosed by clinical decision. If funds were permitting all participants could be screened using operational criteria, otherwise a random sample should suffice.

bSize of study with sufficient power to highlight about a 10% difference between groups for primary outcome.
cPrimary outcome. The same applies to the measure of primary outcome as for diagnosis. Not everyone may need to have operational criteria applied if clinical impression is proved to be accurate.

*The risk in the intervention group (and its 95% confidence interval) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI).

CI: confidence interval; RCT: randomised controlled trial; RR: risk ratio

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence
High quality: we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect
Moderate quality: we are moderately confident in the effect estimate: the true effect is likely to be close to the estimate of the effect, but there is a possibility that it is substantially different
Low quality: our confidence in the effect estimate is limited: the true effect may be substantially different from the estimate of the effect
Very low quality: we have very little confidence in the effect estimate: the true effect is likely to be substantially different from the estimate of effect

1Downgraded one level for risk of bias: none of the studies adequately described allocation concealment, one study was a subsample from one site of an RCT, and one study's baseline characteristics were not balanced between study groups.
2Downgraded two levels for imprecision: 95% CI includes both no effect and appreciable benefit for antipsychotic reduced dose; very small sample size.
3Downgraded one level for risk of bias: allocation concealment was not adequately described, only a subsample from one site of an RCT qualified for inclusion.
4Downgraded one level for indirectness: leaving the study early can give an indication, but is not a direct measurement, of treatment acceptability.

There is no evidence about the effects of withdrawal of antipsychotics compared with continuation of antipsychotics; none of the included studies evaluated this comparison.

*The basis for the assumed risk (e.g. the median control group risk across studies) is provided in footnotes. The corresponding risk (and its 95% confidence interval) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI).
