Study Arms (1)
Participants with Schizophrenia
This is an observational study. Data will be collected from the medical records of participants diagnosed with schizophrenia and who had been on oral antipsychotics for at least one year and thereafter have been switched to Long Acting Injectable atypical antipsychotics for at least one year.
Eligibility Criteria
Participants (both gender and 18 to 55 years of age) with schizophrenia treated with oral anti-psychotics then switched to long acting Injectable anti-psychotics.
You may qualify if:
- Out-Patients with the main diagnosis of schizophrenia with Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-4 criteria)
- Only clinical records with complete information during the 2 years period selected for data analysis will be included
- Participants treated with oral antipsychotics then switched to Long Acting Injectable (LAI) due to poor adherence, lack of efficacy (no significant symptom reduction, judged by physician, at maximum recommended dose of an antipsychotic for 6 weeks), or participants choice, (Excluding for the Brazil population, when the switch has not been clearly justified or the switch has not been done during hospitalization)
- Being regularly treated with LAI atypical antipsychotics for at least 1 year after the initial use of LAI atypical antipsychotics
You may not qualify if:
- Participants with refractory schizophrenia (RS)
- Participants that started LAI treatment as in-patients and patients that switched to LAI during hospitalization (only for Mexican population).
