Schizoaffective disorder and metabolic syndrome: A meta-analytic comparison with schizophrenia and other non-affective psychoses

“…Thirty studies were included for meta-analyses (Arango et al, 2008;Boden et al, 2013;Burghardt et al, 2014;Carr a et al, 2014;Centorrino et al, 2012;Cerit et al, 2008;Correll et al, 2014;Curtis et al, 2011;Elgamal et al, 2012;Gladigau et al, 2014;Gulec Oyekcin, 2009;Hatata et al, 2009;Holt et al, 2010;John et al, 2009;Keenan et al, 2013;Khatana et al, 2011;Kuzman et al, 2011;Lin et al, 2012;Mackin et al, 2007;MedeirosFerreira et al, 2013;Miller et al, 2013;Morgan et al, 2014;Pantusa et al, 2010;Risselada et al, 2012;Roshdy, 2011;Schorr et al, 2009;Steylen et al, 2009;Tseng et al, 2014;van Winkel et al, 2008;Wysokinski et al, 2012), using also unpublished data provided by corresponding authors (Boden et al, 2013;Burghardt et al, 2014;Carr a et al, 2014;Cerit et al, 2008;Correll et al, 2014;Curtis et al, 2011;Gladigau et al, 2014;Keenan et al, 2013;Kuzman et al, 2011;Lin et al, 2012;Mackin et al, 2007;<...>…”

“…Twelve samples were based on outpatients (Arango et al, 2008;Boden et al, 2013;Burghardt et al, 2014;Cerit et al, 2008;Curtis et al, 2011;Gladigau et al, 2014;Gulec Oyekcin, 2009;Keenan et al, 2013;Mackin et al, 2007;Medeiros-Ferreira et al, 2013;Pantusa et al, 2010;Schorr et al, 2009), ten on inpatients Centorrino et al, 2012;Elgamal et al, 2012;Hatata et al, 2009;Kuzman et al, 2011;Lin et al, 2012;Roshdy, 2011;Steylen et al, 2009;Tseng et al, 2014;Wysokinski et al, 2012), eight on both inpatients and outpatients (Correll et al, 2014;Holt et al, 2010;John et al, 2009;Khatana et al, 2011;Miller et al, 2013;Morgan et al, 2014;Risselada et al, 2012;van Winkel et al, 2008).…”

“…Thirteen studies (43%) used highest accuracy MetS assessment (Alberti et al, 2009), with (i) standard (men>102 cm and women >88 cm) or country-specific cut-offs for waist circumference; (ii) a cut-off value for fasting blood glucose !100 mg/dL; and without (iii) making abdominal obesity a mandatory criterion (Boden et al, 2013;Burghardt et al, 2014;Centorrino et al, 2012;Cerit et al, 2008;Correll et al, 2014;Khatana et al, 2011;Lin et al, 2012;Medeiros-Ferreira et al, 2013;Miller et al, 2013;Morgan et al, 2014;Risselada et al, 2012;van Winkel et al, 2008;Wysokinski et al, 2012) (for details see eTable 2).…”

Metabolic Syndrome in Schizophrenia

“…Though a few researchers have studied the change in prevalence rates over time, largely the estimates have been cross-sectional. Amongst the cross sectional studies, as depicted in Table 1,[101112131415161718192021222324252627282930313233343536373839404142434445464748495051525354555657585960616263646566676869707172737475767778798081828384858687888990919293949596979899] most studies have evaluated the patients who are already on treatment and only a few have assessed the prevalence of MetS in drug naive population. Most of the studies have ...…”
