Differences between protocol and review

We have removed the second sentence from Objectives ("We will include any antipsychotic drug studies in any people with schizophrenia, however diagnosed") as this is also described in Types of participants.

We have renamed outcomes from 'Clinically significant response' to 'Clinically important change'.

We have now specified 'Summary of findings' table outcomes should be 'Clinically important change' but if data were not available for these pre‐specified outcomes but were available for ones that are similar, we presented the closest outcome to the pre‐specified one in the table but took this into account when grading the finding.

We have updated the methods template to the latest version provided by Cochrane Schizophrenia. This does not involve a change to the methods but updating of references and rewording of some sections.

We have reworded some of the background to harmonise this review with its 'sibling review' Helfer 2015

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).

Table 1. Suggested design for future study

Methods

Randomisation: random
Allocation: concealed
Blinding: double blind
Duration: at least 2 weeks run‐in phase to confirm non response to initial treatment and at least 4 weeks' randomised double‐blind phase.
Setting: in‐ or out‐patients

Participants

Diagnosis: people with schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder or schizophreniform disorder

N > 450
Gender: male and female
Age: mean 30 years (SD = 7.0), range 18 to 65 years

Interventions

All participants firstly receive treatment with one antipsychotic drug for at least 2 weeks. Those participants who do not at least minimally improve after 2 weeks, are considered non‐responders and are randomised to:

1. increasing the dose of the initial antipsychotic drug above the officially recommended dose range; or

2. switching the initial antipsychotic drug to another one with a different receptor profile; or

3. continuing treatment with the initial antipsychotic drug and at the same, initial dose (within the officially recommended dose range).

Outcomes

Response (defined as PANSS or BPRS decrease ≥ 50%)*

Relapse

Leaving the study early due to any reason

Leaving the study early due to side effects

General mental state: average change in general mental state scores

Adverse effects: at least one adverse effect; clinically important general adverse effects; sudden and unexpected death

Service use: time in hospital

Quality of life

All outcomes by time ‒ short term (up to 12 weeks), medium term (13 to 26 weeks) and long term (over 26 weeks)

*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).
CI: Confidence interval; RR: Risk ratio

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence
High quality: further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect.
Moderate quality: further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate.
Low quality: further research is very likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate.
Very low quality: we are very uncertain about the estimate.

1 Imprecision: total (cumulative) sample size was just 29 participants and 95% confidence interval around the estimate of effect included no effect and appreciable benefit and appreciable harm; thus, very serious imprecision was present.
2 Publication bias: strongly suspected as there is only one study.
