Psychiatry Res 2024; 342:116206. [PMID: 39321636 DOI: 10.1016/j.psychres.2024.116206] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2024] [Revised: 09/15/2024] [Accepted: 09/17/2024] [Indexed: 09/27/2024]
Abstract
Schizophrenia is associated with higher cancer-related mortality, perhaps due to delayed diagnosis and limited access to treatment. The study aimed to compare patients diagnosed with cancer with and without schizophrenia to determine whether these groups differ in terms of oncological variables and survival outcomes. This was a retrospective, observational cohort study that included 30.990 patients diagnosed with cancer between 1997 and 2021. We performed univariate and bivariate analyses for the sociodemographic and clinical variables, and constructed Kaplan-Meier survival curves and used the log-rank test to perform the comparisons. All variables were compared for each cancer type. One hundred and sixty-two (0.52 %) patients had a confirmed diagnosis of schizophrenia (ICD-9 criteria). The mean age at diagnosis was significantly lower in the schizophrenia group. A significantly higher proportion of the schizophrenia group was diagnosed with cancer through the emergency department and a lower percentage through scheduled appointments. A smaller percentage of patients in the schizophrenia group received radical treatment for cancer. The mortality rate was higher in the schizophrenia group and median survival was lower. These findings suggest that cancer patients with schizophrenia have worse outcomes than patients without schizophrenia in terms of oncological variables and survival.

Guarro Carreras MT, Jiménez Suárez L, Lago García L, Montes Reula L, Neyra del Rosario A, Rodríguez Batista FA, Velasco Santos M, Prados-Ojeda JL, Diaz-Marsà M, Martín-Carrasco M, Cardenas A. Towards full recovery with lurasidone: effective doses in the treatment of agitation, affective, positive, and cognitive symptoms in schizophrenia and of dual psychosis. Drugs Context 2024; 13:2024-4-4. [PMID: 39131604 PMCID: PMC11313206 DOI: 10.7573/dic.2024-4-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 08/13/2024] Open
Abstract
The management of schizophrenia necessitates a comprehensive treatment paradigm that considers individual patient nuances and the efficacy of lurasidone in addressing schizophrenia symptoms, particularly at elevated dosages. Numerous randomized trials have affirmed the efficacy of lurasidone across various dimensions of schizophrenia, demonstrating marked enhancements in positive, negative and cognitive symptoms compared to a placebo. In addition, lurasidone exhibits potential in ameliorating agitation amongst acutely ill patients, showcasing greater efficacy at higher doses. However, despite the favourable outcomes observed with higher lurasidone doses, routine clinical practice often opts for lower doses, potentially limiting its maximal therapeutic impact. Furthermore, lurasidone also shows efficacy in reducing post-psychotic depression in dual psychosis. Moreover, practical insights into lurasidone usage encompass swift dose escalation within a 1-5-day span and recommended combination strategies with other medications such as benzodiazepines for insomnia or agitation, beta-blockers for akathisia, and antihistamines or antimuscarinic drugs for patients transitioning rapidly from antipsychotics with substantial antihistamine and/or anticholinergic effects. Finally, a series of clinical cases is presented, highlighting benefits of lurasidone in terms of cognitive function, functional recovery and other therapeutic aspects for the management of schizophrenia.

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe a series of cases with pharmacological hyperprolactinemia in primary care setting and the prolactin levels, clinical implications of different causes of pharmacological hyperprolactinemia. METHODS A retrospective study of all patients with detected hyperprolactinemia in hormonal studies was performed between 2019 and 2020 in 20 Spanish primary care centers. Hyperprolactinemia is defined as a serum prolactin >19.4ng/ml in men and >26.5ng/ml in women. Four pharmacological causes of hyperprolactinemia were established: (i) oral contraceptives (OCPs) and other hormonal treatments; (ii) antipsychotics and antidepressants; (iii) other drugs (calcium antagonists, antiemetics, H2 antihistamines, opioids, and anabolic agents); and (iv) hyperprolactinemia due to several drugs. RESULTS From a sample of 501 patients with elevated serum prolactin, 39.4% (n=162) had pharmacological hyperprolactinemia. The most common cause of pharmacological hyperprolactinemia in women was OCPs (n=61) while in men antipsychotics/antidepressants (n=21). In the cases of hyperprolactinemia due to antipsychotics/antidepressants, the prolactin levels were significantly higher in patients taking classical antipsychotics than in those taking second-generation antipsychotics (80.0±43.17 vs. 50.7±28.66 ng/dL, P=0.035). The antidepressant/antipsychotic group showed hyperprolactinemia-related symptoms more frequently than the group of other treatments (58.9% vs. 32%, P=0.001). The concomitant use of several drugs caused hyperprolactinemia-related symptoms more frequently than one drug alone (73% vs. 44%, P=0.031). CONCLUSION In this series of cases, drugs represented the 39.4% of the causes of hyperprolactinemia. The most common drugs were OCPs in women and antipsychotics/antidepressants in men. Antidepressants/antipsychotics were drugs that caused the greatest elevation of the prolactin levels and showed hyperprolactinemia-related symptoms more frequently.

Abstract
Prolactin (PRL) is a pleiotropic hormone released from lactotrophic cells of the anterior pituitary gland that also originates from extrapituitary sources and plays an important role in regulating lactation in mammals, as well as other actions. Acting in an endocrine and paracrine/autocrine manner, PRL regulates the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, thus influencing the maturation of ovarian follicles and ovulation. This review provides a detailed discussion of the current knowledge on the role of PRL in the context of ovulation and ovulatory disorders, particularly with regard to hyperprolactinemia, which is one of the most common causes of infertility in women. Much attention has been given to the PRL structure and the PRL receptor (PRLR), as well as the diverse functions of PRLR signaling under normal and pathological conditions. The hormonal regulation of the menstrual cycle in connection with folliculogenesis and ovulation, as well as the current classifications of ovulation disorders, are also described. Finally, the state of knowledge regarding the importance of TIDA (tuberoinfundibular dopamine), KNDγ (kisspeptin/neurokinin B/dynorphin), and GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone) neurons in PRL- and kisspeptin (KP)-dependent regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis in women is reviewed. Based on this review, a rationale for influencing PRL signaling pathways in therapeutic activities accompanying ovulation disorders is presented.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To analyse the causes of hyperprolactinaemia in patients with symptoms compatible with hyperprolactinaemia evaluated in a primary care setting. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective study of all patients tested for serum prolactin levels between 2019 and 2020 in 20 primary care centres at the Hospital Ramón y Cajal in Madrid. Hyperprolactinaemia is defined as a serum prolactin>19.4ng/ml in men and >26.5ng/ml in women. Aetiology is grouped into physiological (pregnancy, lactation, inadequate venipuncture, macroprolactinaemia), pharmacological, pathological (hypothalamic and/or pituitary diseases, chronic renal failure, primary hypothyroidism), and idiopathic. RESULTS In 1630 patients tested for serum prolactin, 30.7% (n=501) had hyperprolactinaemia. Of these 501 patients, 89.6% were females. 149 patients were referred to the Endocrinology Department and 164 to the Gynaecology Department. Aetiological diagnosis of hyperprolactinaemia was achieved in 411 out of 501 cases. The most frequent cause of hyperprolactinaemia was pharmacological, in 39.1%. The second more frequent cause was idiopathic (29%) and less common were inadequate venipuncture extraction (13.4%), tumour (8.5%) and macroprolactinaemia (3.9%). Patients with tumoural hyperprolactinaemia presented higher serum prolactin levels (87.0±80.19 vs 49.7±39.62ng/ml, P=0.010). In addition, symptoms, such as galactorrhoea (33.3% vs 16.5%, P=0.018), and headache (25.7% vs 13.3%, P=0.045), were more frequent than in patients of the other aetiological groups. CONCLUSION Hyperprolactinaemia is common among patients evaluated in a primary care setting with symptoms of hyperprolactinaemia, but more than 50% of cases are due to pharmacological treatments or improper sample extraction. It is necessary to establish referral protocols to specialised medicine to optimise healthcare resources and avoid unnecessary studies.

Clinical Study of Progesterone Combined with Vitamin B6 in the Treatment of Amenorrhea Endocrine Disorders Caused by Antipsychotics. COMPUTATIONAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN MEDICINE 2022; 2022:2436322. [PMID: 36072776 PMCID: PMC9441377 DOI: 10.1155/2022/2436322] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2022] [Revised: 07/11/2022] [Accepted: 07/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Background Endocrine disorders such as amenorrhea, lactation, and irregular menstruation caused by antipsychotics are common in female patients. How to reduce or eliminate these adverse reactions is a matter of concern. Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of progesterone in combination with vitamin B6 in the treatment of antipsychotic-induced amenorrhea. Methods In our hospital, from May 2019 to May 2021, 120 patients with amenorrhea caused by antipsychotics who underwent surgery were selected for this prospective study. The random residue grouping method divided them into a progesterone group (60 cases) and a vitamin B6 group (60 cases). Among them, the progesterone group was treated only with progesterone, while the vitamin B6 group was given progesterone in combination with vitamin B6. The differences in endocrine index, prolactin, uterine size, and endometrial thickness, effectiveness, and safety analysis of the progesterone and vitamin B6 groups of patients were observed and compared. Results Before treatment, there was no change in the comparison of endocrine indexes between the progesterone and vitamin B6 groups (P > 0.05). After 1 month of treatment, there were significant differences in estradiol, prolactin, and follicle-stimulating hormone between the progesterone and vitamin B6 groups of patients (P < 0.05). After 1 month of treatment, there were significant differences in prolactin, uterine size, and endometrial thickness, and the vitamin B6 group was significantly lower than the progesterone group (P < 0.05). The clinical efficiency of 95.00% in the vitamin B6 group was significantly higher than 83.33% in the progesterone group (P < 0.05). There were no adverse reactions in the progesterone and vitamin B6 groups. Conclusion The effectiveness of progesterone combined with vitamin B6 in treating amenorrhea caused by antipsychotics is significantly better than simple progesterone, which can effectively improve the endocrine condition of patients and provide a reference for the clinical treatment of amenorrhea caused by antipsychotics.

Abstract
Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder with various medical comorbidities and early mortality. Hyperprolactinemia is common in women and its impact on sexual function, galactorrhea and amenorrhea is well known. This paper evaluates the risk of 25-hydroxy vitamin D deficiency and other metabolic related laboratory abnormalities in women with schizophrenia having hyperprolactinemia (N = 43). The mean prolactin level in these women was 88.5 ± 56.0 ng/mL. We found that 100% of women were overweight of which 74% (32/43) of the women were obese, 56% (23/41) had abnormal total cholesterol levels and 30% (13/43) had high fasting blood glucose. Vitamin D levels were considered deficient or inadequate in 37% of women. We did not see significant correlations of prolactin with laboratory measures, however all female patients had elevated and high prolactin levels, leading to low variability in a small sample, which may have precluded seeing any direct relationships. Recognizing prolactin related side effects and understanding the role of other health measures seen in women with antipsychotic induced hyperprolactinemia in our female patients are critical steps toward better personalization of their care and recovery.

Abstract
Sexual dysfunction, psychosis, and antipsychotics are known to be related, but the precise association between them is still unknown. Most evidence about the prevalence of sexual dysfunction in people treated with antipsychotic drugs comes from studies with restrictive samples. That is why our main objective was to determine the prevalence of sexual dysfunction in a real-life sample of outpatients treated with antipsychotics, considering gender. A cross-sectional naturalistic study was developed, including people treated with long-acting injectable antipsychotics, with or without other psychotropic drugs. Participants were interviewed to assess sexual satisfaction through a Likert scale (0 to 10) and the presence of sexual dysfunction (the Psychotropic-Related Sexual Dysfunction Questionnaire, PRSexDQ-SALSEX). The participants also had a blood test to determine prolactin (men and women) and testosterone levels (men only). A total of 131 people participated in the study (90 men and 41 women). Some extent of sexual dysfunction was found in 62.2% of men and 51.2% of women. The most frequent sexual dysfunction symptom for both genders was the loss of libido (45%). Hyperprolactinemia was present in 56% of men and 61% of women. The presence of sexual dysfunction was associated with higher doses of antipsychotics, hyperprolactinemia, and smoking in men and with smoking and hyperprolactinemia in postmenopausal women. This study provides real-life evidence of sexual dysfunction and hyperprolactinemia in persons treated with long-acting injectable antipsychotics segregated by gender. The high rates of sexual dysfunction and hyperprolactinemia detected corroborate the need to consider these aspects in clinical practice.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Amenorrhea caused by antipsychotic drugs is not uncommon in clinical practice, and various treatment strategies are used to treat the condition. Chinese herbal medicine has its own theory for amenorrhea caused by antipsychotic drugs and has developed its own medication methods. AIM OF THE STUDY To review and conduct meta-analysis of the use of traditional Chinese herbal medicine in treatment of amenorrhea caused by antipsychotic drugs. MATERIALS AND METHODS A search was conducted across seven Chinese electronic databases (the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database, the China Science and Technology Journal Database, the Wanfang Database, the SinoMed, the Foreign Medical Literature Retrieval Service(FMRS), the Chinese University of Hong Kong Library, the Airiti Library), and the following English databases: MEDLINE, PreMEDLINE, OLD MEDLINE、Publisher Supplied Citation in pubmed; JBI EBP Database, EBM Reviews, Embase, OVID Emcare, Ovid MEDLINE(R), Maternity & Infant Care Database(MIDIRS), APA PsycInfo in OVID, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (Cochrane Reviews), Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects (Other Reviews), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (Clinical Trials),The Cochrane Methodology Register (Method Studies), Health Technology Assessment Database (Technology Assessments), NHS Economic Evaluation Database (Economic Evaluations) in Cochrane Library; and four databases (Science Direct, ProQuest, Web of Science, and Scopus) in official website using common standards and inclusion/exclusion criteria. The remaining reports were used for preliminary studies. Due to inconsistencies in control groups, randomized controlled trials and articles that combined with other drugs were also excluded. This study is a META analysis of a single rate. RESULTS Initial screening returned 912 potentially relevant publications in all databases. After subsequent filtering, a total of 18 articles were included in the analysis. The overall effectiveness for treatment amenorrhea caused by antipsychotic drugs using traditional Chinese herbal medicine was 0.91, with 95% confidence interval of 0.89-0.93. Notably in most studies, the time needed to achieve this level of effectiveness was relatively long, usually in excess of three months. Although a satisfactory verification of an improvement in menstrual cycling takes time, the long treatment duration is a downside. Our analysis revealed that the following Chinese herbal remedies were most common: Danggui (Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels), Chuanxiong (Ligusticum striatum DC.), Taoren (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch), Honghua (Carthamus tinctorius L.), Gancao (Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch.), Fuling ((Fungus) Poria cocos (Schw.) Wolf), Baizhu (Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz.), Xiangfu (Cyperus rotundus L.), Chaihu (Bupleurum chinense DC.), Shudihuang (Rehmannia glutinosa (Gaertn.) DC.(Processed), Baishao (Cynanchum otophyllum C.K.Schneid.) CONCLUSIONS: Chinese herbal medicine can effectively treat amenorrhea caused by psychiatric drugs, although it takes a long time to achieve satisfactory effectiveness. More research is needed to better understand different aspects of Chinese herbal medicine use in treatment of this particular medical condition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Available evidence suggests elevated serum prolactin (PRL) levels in olanzapine (OLZ)-treated patients with schizophrenia. However, machine learning (ML)-based comprehensive evaluations of the influence of pathophysiological and pharmacological factors on PRL levels in OLZ-treated patients are rare. We aimed to forecast the PRL level in OLZ-treated patients and mine pharmacovigilance information on PRL-related adverse events by integrating ML and electronic health record (EHR) data. METHODS Data were extracted from an EHR system to construct an ML dataset in 672×384 matrix format after preprocessing, which was subsequently randomly divided into a derivation cohort for model development and a validation cohort for model validation (8:2). The eXtreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) algorithm was used to build the ML models, the importance of the features and predictive behaviors of which were illustrated by SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP)-based analyses. The sequential forward feature selection approach was used to generate the optimal feature subset. The co-administered drugs that might have influenced PRL levels during OLZ treatment as identified by SHAP analyses were then compared with evidence from disproportionality analyses by using OpenVigil FDA. RESULTS The 15 features that made the greatest contributions, as ranked by the mean (|SHAP value|), were identified as the optimal feature subset. The features were gender_male, co-administration of risperidone, age, co-administration of aripiprazole, concentration of aripiprazole, concentration of OLZ, progesterone, co-administration of sulpiride, creatine kinase, serum sodium, serum phosphorus, testosterone, platelet distribution width, α-L-fucosidase, and lipoprotein (a). The XGBoost model after feature selection delivered good performance on the validation cohort with a mean absolute error of 0.046, mean squared error of 0.0036, root-mean-squared error of 0.060, and mean relative error of 11%. Risperidone and aripiprazole exhibited the strongest associations with hyperprolactinemia and decreased blood PRL according to the disproportionality analyses, and both were identified as co-administered drugs that influenced PRL levels during OLZ treatment by SHAP analyses. CONCLUSIONS Multiple pathophysiological and pharmacological confounders influence PRL levels associated with effective treatment and PRL-related side-effects in OLZ-treated patients. Our study highlights the feasibility of integration of ML and EHR data to facilitate the detection of PRL levels and pharmacovigilance signals in OLZ-treated patients.

Abstract
Prolactin is a polypeptide hormone that is well known for its role in reproductive physiology. Recent studies highlight its role in neurohormonal appetite regulation and metabolism. Elevated prolactin levels are widely associated with worsening metabolic disease, but it appears that low prolactin levels could also be metabolically unfavorable. This review discusses the pathophysiology of prolactin related metabolic changes, and the less commonly recognized effects of prolactin on adipose tissue, pancreas, liver, and small bowel. Furthermore, the effect of dopamine agonists on the metabolic profiles of patients with hyperprolactinemia are discussed as well.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For long-term hospitalized patients suffering from schizophrenia, metabolic disease and hyperprolactinemia (HPRL) are common comorbidities. This article is aimed at analyzing the factors influencing comorbid type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on prolactin (PRL) levels in long-term hospitalized patients suffering from schizophrenia. METHODS This study included 378 long-term hospitalized patients with schizophrenia. Common metabolic markers and PRL levels of included samples were collected, and the severity of psychopathology was assessed using the Positive and Negative Symptoms Scale (PANSS). Based on the patients with or without T2DM, the samples were divided into two groups. The differences in clinical parameters between the two groups were compared, and the effects of the parameters on the PRL levels were analyzed. RESULTS Compared with non-DM patients, the patients in the DM subgroup had lower PRL levels (P < 0.0001) and rather severe psychiatric symptoms (P = 0.016). Female, treated by risperidone, and high levels of triglyceride (TG) were faced with risk for HPRL (B = 26.31, t = 5.39, P < 0.0001; B = 19.52, t = 4.00, P < 0.0001; B = 2.71, t = 2.31, P = 0.022, respectively). Meanwhile, co-morbid DM and aripiprazole treatment were protective factors (B = 15.47, t = 3.05, P = 0.002; B = -23.77, t = -2.47, P = 0.014; respectively). Ultimately, in the DM subgroup, the dose of metformin was found to be a protective factor for HPRL (B = -0.01, t = -1.46, P = 0.047), while female and aripiprazole were risk factors (B = 16.06, t = 3.26, P = 0.001; B = 20.13, t = 2.57, P = 0.011; respectively). CONCLUSION Aripiprazole is a protective factor for HPRL in long-term hospitalized patients, whereas the female is a risk factor. Metformin is beneficial in reducing PRL levels in patients with co-morbid DM. More aggressive and effective interventions are required for preventing adverse drug reactions in women and patients with co-DM.

Abstract
According to the 2020 data released by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, breast cancer has surpassed lung cancer as the world's most newly diagnosed first-time cancer. Compared with patients with other types of cancer, those with breast cancer experience greater mental stress and more severe psychological impacts because of the life-threatening diagnosis, physical changes, treatment side effects, and family and social life dysfunctions. These usually manifest as anxiety, depression, nervousness, and insomnia, all of which elicit stress responses. Particularly under chronic stress, the continuous release of neurotransmitters from the neuroendocrine system can have a highly profound impact on the occurrence and prognosis of breast cancer. However, because of the complex mechanisms underlying chronic stress and the variability in individual tolerance, evidence of the role of chronic stress in the occurrence and evolution of breast cancer remains unclear. This article reviewed previous research on the correlation between chronic stress and the occurrence and development of breast cancer, particularly the molecular mechanism through which chronic stress promotes breast cancer via neurotransmitters secreted by the nervous system. We also review the progress in the development of potential drugs or blockers for the treatment of breast cancer by targeting the neuroendocrine system.

Abstract
Antipsychotic medication can be often associated with sexual dysfunction (SD). Given its intimate nature, treatment emergent sexual dysfunction (TESD) remains underestimated in clinical practice. However, psychotic patients consider sexual issues as important as first rank psychotic symptoms, and their disenchantment with TESD can lead to important patient distress and treatment drop-out. In this paper, we detail some management strategies for TESD from a clinical perspective, ranging from prevention (carefully choosing an antipsychotic with a low rate of TESD) to possible pharmacological interventions aimed at improving patients' tolerability when TESD is present. The suggested recommendations include the following: prescribing either aripiprazole or another dopaminergic agonist as a first option antipsychotic or switching to it whenever possible. Whenever this is not possible, adjunctive treatment with aripiprazole seems to also be beneficial for reducing TESD. Some antipsychotics, like olanzapine, quetiapine, or ziprasidone, have less impact on sexual function than others, so they are an optimal second choice. Finally, a variety of useful strategies (such as the addition of sildenafil) are also described where the previous ones cannot be applied, although they may not yield as optimal results.

Abstract
Prolactin (PRL) is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland and multiple non-pituitary sites, vital in several physiological processes such as lactation, pregnancy, cell growth, and differentiation. However, PRL is nowadays known to have a strong implication in oncogenic processes, making it essential to delve into the mechanisms governing these actions. PRL and its receptor (PRLR) activate a series of effects such as survival, cellular proliferation, migration, invasion, metastasis, and resistance to treatment, being highly relevant in developing certain types of cancer. Because women produce high levels of PRL, its influence in gynecological cancers is herein reviewed. It is interesting that, other than the 23 kDa PRL, whose mechanism of action is endocrine, other variants of PRL have been observed to be produced by tumoral tissue, acting in a paracrine/autocrine manner. Because many components, including PRL, surround the microenvironment, it is interesting to understand the hormone's modulation in cancer cells. This work aims to review the most important findings regarding the PRL/PRLR axis in cervical, ovarian, and endometrial cancers and its molecular mechanisms to support carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Introduction High prolactin (PRL) concentrations are found in laboratory test results of patients on majority of antipsychotic drugs. Prevalence rates and degrees of severity of hyperprolactinemia (HPRL) based on PRL concentration may depend on the presence of macroprolactin in the serum. The aim of the study was to investigate the difference between PRL concentrations before and after precipitation of macroprolactin and to examine if there were any changes in the categorization of HPRL between samples prior and after precipitation. Materials and methods Total of 98 female patients (median age 33; range 19-47 years) diagnosed with a psychotic disorder, proscribed antipsychotic drugs, and with HPRL were included. Total PRL concentration and PRL concentration after macroprolactin precipitation with polyethylene glycol (postPEG-PRL) were determined by the chemiluminometric method on the Beckman Coulter Access2 analyser. Results Total PRL concentrations (median 1471; IQC: 1064-2016 mlU/L) and postPEG-PRL concentrations (median 1453; IQC: 979-1955 mlU/L) were significantly correlated using intraclass correlation coefficient for single measurements (mean estimation 0.96; 95%CI 0.93-0.97) and average measurement (mean estimation 0.98; 95%CI 0.96-0.99), and all investigated female patient had HPRL according to PRL and postPEG-PRL concentration. The median PRL recovery following PEG precipitation was 95; IQC: 90-100%. There was substantial agreement (kappa test = 0.859, 95% CI: 0.764-0.953) between the categories of HPRL severity based on total PRL concentrations and postPEG-PRL concentrations. Conclusion The study demonstrated that HPRL was present in all subjects using the reference interval for total PRL concentration and postPEG-PRL concentration with no significant impact of macroprolactin presence in the serum on the categorization of patients according to severity of HPRL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early studies reported a prolactin surge during electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). The aim of this study is to review and meta-analyze data on ECT-related prolactin changes. METHOD A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted for trials investigating prolactin changes in ECT-treated patients using standard mean differences (SMD, 95% confidence intervals). Subgroup analyses included comparisons of ECT-related prolactin changes in women vs. men, patients receiving different anesthetics, bilateral vs. unilateral and high-vs. low-dose ECT. RESULTS In six trials including 109 ECT-treated patients and 74 controls, prolactin changes were larger in ECT-treated patients than in controls (SMD = 0.89, 95%CI = 0.55, 1.23, p < 0.001 and 1.03, 95%CI = 0.31, 1.75, p = 0.005 for the fixed and random-effect model respectively), despite heterogeneity in the samples (I2 = 72%, τ2 = 0.62). Effects were led by differences in patients premedicated with methohexital (SMD = 1.14, 95%CI = 0.7, 1.57, p < 0.001 for both fixed and random-effect model). A meta-regression reported significant age effects (coefficient estimate 2.32, 95%CI = -0.73, 3.91, p < 0.01). Additionally, prolactin changes were larger in ECT-treated women than men (SMD = 0.88, 95%CI = 0.58, 1.18, p < 0.001 and 0.99, 95%CI = 0.22, 1.75, p = 0.012 for the fixed and random effect model). Bilateral ECT-treated patients had larger increase than unilateral ECT-treated patients (SMD = -0.81, 95%CI = -1.35, -0.27, p = 0.003 and -0.86, 95%CI = -1.46, -0.25, p = 0.006 for the fixed and random-effect model). Comparisons between high- and low-dose ECT-treated patients could not be conducted. The quality of the studies was overall poor, with four exceptions. DISCUSSION Patients receiving ECT had larger prolactin increases than controls. Increases were larger in methohexital-premedicated patients, women vs. men and patients with bilateral vs. unilateral ECT.

Abstract
This paper reviews the prevalence, implications, prevention and management of antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia in aging populations. Antipsychotics are indicated mainly for the treatment of psychotic illness but are also used in other conditions. Complications induced by antipsychotics increase with age, due to age-related changes in drug metabolism and excretion. Almost all antipsychotics lead to hyperprolactinemia by blocking dopamine D2 receptors in the anterior pituitary gland, which counteracts dopamine's inhibitory action on prolactin secretion. The main findings of this narrative review are that, though many of the known side effects of high prolactin levels lose their salience with age, the risk of exacerbating osteoporosis remains critical. Methods of preventing antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia in older individuals include using antipsychotic medication (AP) as sparingly as possible and monitoring AP serum levels, regularly measuring prolactin levels, closely monitoring bone density, treating substance abuse, and teaching patients stress management techniques. When hyperprolactinemia symptoms cannot be otherwise managed, adjunctive drugs are available. Potential helpful adjuncts are: dopamine agonists, antipsychotics with partial agonist properties (e.g. aripiprazole), selective estrogen receptor modulators, and metformin. Because a gold standard for prevention/treatment has not been established, clinical decisions need to be made based on safety and individual circumstance.

[PMID: 32017792 PMCID: PMC6999917 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0228648] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2019] [Accepted: 01/20/2020] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Antipsychotic medication, stress, gender, and age are factors that influence prolactin levels in patients with psychosis. The aim of the study was to investigate the level of prolactin response to antipsychotic treatment in acute patients, taking into account the total duration of psychosis. Methods and findings The study was conducted on 170 acute patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders and bipolar disorder. Subjects were divided into three subgroups according to the duration of the psychosis (less than 5 years, between 5 and 10 years and more than 10 years of disorder duration). The initial prolactin response under antipsychotic treatment was measured, while the severity of the psychiatric symptoms was assessed with the BPRS (Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale). Hyperprolactinemia was found in 120 (70.6%) patients, amongst which 80 (66.7%) were females and 40 (33.3%) were males. The average increase in prolactinemia was 2.46 times the maximum value in women, and 1.59 times in men. Gender (β = 0.27, p<0.0001), type of antipsychotic medication according to potency of inducing hyperprolactinemia (β = -0.23, p<0.003), and the duration of psychosis over 10 years (β = -0.15, p = 0.04) significantly predicted prolactin levels, when age, diagnosis, antipsychotic category (conventional/atypical/combinations of antipsychotics), and BPRS total scores were controlled for. Conclusions and relevance Prolactin levels in patients treated with antipsychotic medication appeared to depend on patients’ gender, on the type of antipsychotic medication according to potency of inducing hyperprolactinemia, and on the duration of the psychosis. An increase in prolactin levels was associated with female gender, while the use of prolactin sparing antipsychotics and a duration of psychosis over 10 years were associated with lower prolactin levels.

Abstract
Hyperprolactinaemia is one of the most common problems in clinical endocrinology. It relates with various aetiologies (physiological, pharmacological, pathological), the clarification of which requires careful history taking and clinical assessment. Analytical issues (presence of macroprolactin or of the hook effect) need to be taken into account when interpreting the prolactin values. Medications and sellar/parasellar masses (prolactin secreting or acting through “stalk effect”) are the most common causes of pathological hyperprolactinaemia. Hypogonadism and galactorrhoea are well-recognized manifestations of prolactin excess, although its implications on bone health, metabolism and immune system are also expanding. Treatment mainly aims at restoration and maintenance of normal gonadal function/fertility, and prevention of osteoporosis; further specific management strategies depend on the underlying cause. In this review, we provide an update on the diagnostic and management approaches for the patient with hyperprolactinaemia and on the current data looking at the impact of high prolactin on metabolism, cardiovascular and immune systems.

Abstract
Prolactin (Prl) is a pleiotropic hormone with multiple functions in several tissues and organs, including the brain. In the hippocampus, Prl has been implicated in several functions, including neuroprotection against excitotoxicity in lactating rats and in Prl-treated ovariectomized animals. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in Prl actions in the hippocampus have not been completely elucidated. The aim of this study was to analyse the hippocampal transcriptome of female Prl-treated ovariectomized rats. Transcriptomic analysis by RNASeq revealed 162 differentially expressed genes throughout 24 h of Prl treatment. Gene Ontology analysis of those genes showed that 37.65% were involved in brain processes that are regulated by the hippocampus, such as learning, memory and behaviour, as well as new processes that we did not foresee, such as glial differentiation, axogenesis, synaptic transmission, postsynaptic potential, and neuronal and glial migration. Immunodetection analysis demonstrated that Prl significantly modified microglial morphology, reduced the expression of Cd11b/c protein, and altered the content and location of the neuronal proteins Tau, Map2 and Syp, which are involved in axogenic and synaptic functions. This novel delineation of Prl activity in the hippocampus highlights its importance as a neuroactive hormone, opens a new avenue for understanding its actions and supports its participation in neuronal plasticity of this brain area.

Abstract
Background: Hyperprolactinemia is a common consequence of treatment with antipsychotics. It is usually defined by a sustained prolactin level above the laboratory upper level of normal in conditions other than that where physiologic hyperprolactinemia is expected. Normal prolactin levels vary significantly among different laboratories and studies. Several studies indicate that olanzapine does not significantly affect serum prolactin levels in the long term, although this statement has been challenged. Aims: Our aim is to report two olanzapine-induced hyperprolactinemia cases observed in psychiatric consultations. Methods: Medical records of the patients who developed this clinical situation observed in psychiatric consultations in the Psychiatry Department of the Prof. Dr. Fernando Fonseca Hospital during the year of 2017 were analyzed, complemented with a non-systematic review of the literature. Results: The case reports consider two women who developed prolactin-related symptoms after the initiation of olanzapine. No baseline prolactinemia was obtained, and prolactin serum levels were only evaluated after prolactin-related symptoms developed: at the time of its measurement, both patients had been taking olanzapine for more than 24 weeks. Hyperprolactinemia was found to be present in Case 2, whereas Case 1 (a 49-year-old woman) had “normal” serum prolactin levels for premenopausal and prolactin levels slightly above the maximum levels for postmenopausal women. Both patients underwent similar pharmacological adjustments, which comprised switches from olanzapine to aripiprazole. After all pharmacological changes, prolactin serum levels decreased to normal range values and prolactin-related symptoms disappeared. Discussion/Conclusions: Laboratorial and literature prolactinemia values variability and discrepancies may make the management of borderline hyperprolactinemia clinical situations difficult. Baseline prolactin levels should have been obtained, as they help in the management of patients who develop neuroleptic-induced hyperprolactinemia. Prolactin-related symptoms can occur with borderline or normal standardized prolactinemia values. Olanzapine-induced hyperprolactinemia is a rare but possible event. Aripiprazole was used as a suitable alternative for olanzapine-induced hyperprolactinemia.

[PMID: 31150659 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuropharm.2019.05.033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 48] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2019] [Revised: 05/17/2019] [Accepted: 05/27/2019] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
By combining knowledge of pharmacogenetics, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) and drug-drug interactions (DDIs) the author developed a model for personalizing antipsychotic dosing, which is applied to risperidone, 9-hydroxyrisperidone or paliperidone, and clozapine. Drugs are approved using an average dose for an ideal average patient, but pharmacologists have described outliers: genetic poor metabolizers (PMs) and ultrarapid metabolizers (UMs). Environmental and personal variables can also make patients behave as PMs or UMs. Drug clearance is represented by the concentration-to-dose (C/D) ratio under steady-state and trough conditions. A very low C/D ratio indicates a UM, while a very high C/D ratio indicates a PM. Total risperidone C/D ratio for the oral formulation is around 7 ng/ml per mg/day and can be influenced by CYP2D6 polymorphism, DDIs with inducers and inhibitors, and renal function. Oral paliperidone has low availability; its C/D ratio is around 4.1 ng/ml per mg/d and can be influenced by inducers and renal impairment. Once-a-month long-acting paliperidone provides a C/D ratio around 7.7 ng/ml per mg/day at steady state, which is expected to be in the 8th month (before the 9th injection). TDM is particularly important for long-acting paliperidone formulations that may accumulate once steady state is reached (after years for the 3- and 6-month formulations). In the US, clozapine C/D ratios typically range from 0.6 (male smokers) to 1.2 (female non-smokers) ng/ml per mg/day. East Asians' clozapine C/D ratios appear to be twice as high. Inhibitors (including fluvoxamine and oral contraceptives) and inflammation can also increase clozapine C/D ratios. This article is part of the issue entitled 'Special Issue on Antipsychotics'.

Abstract
Antidepressant-related sexual dysfunction is a frequent adverse event caused by serotonergic activation that intensely affects quality of life and adherence in depressed patients. The dopamine system has multiple effects promoting sexual behavior, but no studies have been carried out to confirm dopaminergic changes involved in animal models after antidepressant use. Methods: The sexual behavior-related dopaminergic system in the rat was studied by comparing two different antidepressants and placebo for 28 days. The antidepressants used were paroxetine (a serotonergic antidepressant that causes highly frequent sexual dysfunction in humans) and agomelatine (a non-serotonergic antidepressant without associated sexual dysfunction). The tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactivity (THI) in the substantia nigra pars compacta, the ventral tegmental area, the zona incerta, and the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus, as well as the dopaminergic projections to the striatum, hippocampus, cortex, and median eminence were analyzed. Results: The THI decreased significantly in the substantia nigra and ventral tegmental area after treatment with paroxetine, and the labeling was reduced drastically in the zona incerta and mediobasal hypothalamus. The immunoreactive axons in the target regions (striatum, cortex, hippocampus, and median eminence) almost disappeared only in the paroxetine-treated rats. Conversely, after treatment with agomelatine, a moderate reduction in immunoreactivity in the substantia nigra was found without appreciable modifications in the ventral tegmental area, zona incerta, and mediobasal hypothalamus. Nevertheless, no sexual or copulatory behavior was observed in any of the experimental or control groups. Conclusion: Paroxetine but not agomelatine was associated with important decreased activity in dopaminergic areas such as the substantia nigra and ventral tegmental areas that could be associated with sexual performance impairment in humans after antidepressant treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperprolactinemia is an undesirable effect of most antipsychotics because of D2-receptor blockade. We assessed the effect of the D2-receptor partial agonist brexpiprazole on prolactin, based on pooled data from three 6-week, randomized, placebo-controlled studies and two open-label extension studies in patients with schizophrenia. METHODS In the short-term studies, patients received 0.25, 1, 2, 4 mg brexpiprazole or placebo; or flexible-dose brexpiprazole (2-4 mg/d), placebo, or active reference. The extension studies were 52-week, flexible-dose (1-4 mg/d) studies. We studied changes from baseline and shifts in prolactin status in patients with normal or elevated prolactin levels at baseline, and prolactin-related treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). RESULTS Median changes from baseline to week 6 in brexpiprazole-treated patients in short-term studies were as follows: 3.63 ng/mL (females), 0.26 ng/mL (males); placebo: -2.15 ng/mL (females), -1.08 ng/mL (males).Median changes from baseline to week 52 in long-term studies were 0.60 ng/mL (females) and 0.18 ng/mL (males). Prolactin levels in patients with baseline values greater than 1× upper limit of normal tended to decrease over time regardless of previous treatment.The proportions of brexpiprazole-treated patients with greater than 3× upper limit of normal postbaseline prolactin values in short-term studies were as follows: 1.5% (females), 1.6% (males); placebo: 3.6% (females), 3.4% (males). Corresponding figures in long-term studies were 5.3% (females) and 2.0% (males).In short-term studies, the incidence of prolactin-related TEAEs was 1.8% for brexpiprazole and 0.6% for placebo. In long-term studies, the incidence of prolactin-related TEAEs was 1.7%. CONCLUSIONS Small changes in prolactin levels, low proportions of patients with postbaseline elevated prolactin values, and low incidence of prolactin-related TEAEs were observed after treatment with brexpiprazole.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to evaluate glucose and prolactin monitoring in children and adolescents initiating antipsychotic therapy using a nationwide claims database. METHODS A retrospective 15-month cohort study was conducted using the National Database of Health Insurance Claim Information and Specified Medical Checkups in Japan. Patients aged ≤18 years, who were newly prescribed antipsychotics between April 2014 and March 2015, were followed up for 450 days. Outcomes were the use of glucose and prolactin testing through 15 months after drug initiation (index date) with consideration of persistence with antipsychotic therapy. The incidence proportion of patients monitored was assessed within the following four time windows: baseline (between 30 days before the index date and the index date), at 1-3 months (between 1 and 90 days after the index date), at 4-9 months (between 91 and 270 days after the index date), and at 10-15 months (between 271 and 450 days after the index date). RESULTS Of 43,608 new users in 6620 medical institutions, the percentage of persistent antipsychotic users was 46.4% at 90 days, 29.7% at 270 days, and 23.8% at 450 days after the index date. The proportion of patients who received monitoring within the baseline period was 13.5% (95% confidence interval [CI], 13.2-13.8) for glucose and 0.6% (95% CI, 0.5-0.6) for prolactin, respectively. The proportion of patients who received glucose monitoring at all time windows decreased to 0.9%. The proportion of patients who received prolactin monitoring by the second time window decreased to 0.1%. CONCLUSIONS Our study shows that monitoring for glucose and prolactin is infrequent in children and adolescents initiating antipsychotic therapy. Strategies for physicians, patients, and guardians are needed to overcome the barriers in glucose and prolactin monitoring.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The choice of an antipsychotic should be based on bipolar disorder (BD) symptoms and the particular needs of each patient, as well as the adverse events potentially associated with treatment. Asenapine is an atypical antipsychotic indicated for the management of type-I BD, with distinct pharmacokinetic and receptor affinity profiles. MATERIAL AND METHODS Recommendations document developed by a panel of experts with extensive experience in the use of asenapine in psychiatric care, including emergency department, hospital, and outpatient care. Recommendations were discussed in a single meeting and were based on both the clinical experience of the panel of experts and the empirical evidence provided in the scientific literature. RESULTS The present document describes the patient profile that best suits the pharmacodynamic characteristics of asenapine, as well as the advantages and limitations of the pharmacokinetics associated with the sublingual route. The document also addresses the main safety issues of asenapine and suggests interventions aimed at mitigating the most frequent adverse reactions associated with asenapine treatment. Finally, the article provides advice on dosing and overall management of asenapine treatment, including the combination with other treatments and the switch from other antipsychotics to asenapine. CONCLUSIONS In this recommendations document, we provide clinicians with guidance on the use of asenapine in real-life practice, including the identification of patients who best suit the characteristics of this antipsychotic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperprolactinemia is a common side-effect of antipsychotics (APs), which may trigger serious secondary problems and compromise the adherence to treatment which is crucial for prognosis, especially in patients presenting with a first-episode of psychosis (FEP). AIMS We evaluated, in some cases for the first time, the effect of polymorphisms in multiple candidate genes on serum prolactin (PRL) levels in an AP-treated FEP cohort recruited in the multicenter PEPs study (Phenotype - genotype and environmental interaction; Application of a predictive model in first psychotic episodes). METHODS PRL concentration was measured in serum from 222 patients. A total of 167 polymorphisms were selected in 23 genes. Genetic association analysis was performed in the whole sample and also in homogenous subgroups of patients treated with APs with a high (N = 101) or low risk (N = 95) of increasing PRL release, which showed significant differences in their PRL levels. RESULTS After Bonferroni correction, polymorphisms in NTRK2, DRD2 and ACE genes were associated with PRL concentration. CONCLUSION Our results give more support to the impact of DRD2, but also of other genes related to dopamine availability such as ACE. Moreover, this study provides the first evidence for the involvement of NTRK2, which suggests that pathways other than the ones related to dopamine or serotonin may participate in the AP-related PRL levels.

Abstract
The Canadian Network for Mood and Anxiety Treatments (CANMAT) previously published treatment guidelines for bipolar disorder in 2005, along with international commentaries and subsequent updates in 2007, 2009, and 2013. The last two updates were published in collaboration with the International Society for Bipolar Disorders (ISBD). These 2018 CANMAT and ISBD Bipolar Treatment Guidelines represent the significant advances in the field since the last full edition was published in 2005, including updates to diagnosis and management as well as new research into pharmacological and psychological treatments. These advances have been translated into clear and easy to use recommendations for first, second, and third- line treatments, with consideration given to levels of evidence for efficacy, clinical support based on experience, and consensus ratings of safety, tolerability, and treatment-emergent switch risk. New to these guidelines, hierarchical rankings were created for first and second- line treatments recommended for acute mania, acute depression, and maintenance treatment in bipolar I disorder. Created by considering the impact of each treatment across all phases of illness, this hierarchy will further assist clinicians in making evidence-based treatment decisions. Lithium, quetiapine, divalproex, asenapine, aripiprazole, paliperidone, risperidone, and cariprazine alone or in combination are recommended as first-line treatments for acute mania. First-line options for bipolar I depression include quetiapine, lurasidone plus lithium or divalproex, lithium, lamotrigine, lurasidone, or adjunctive lamotrigine. While medications that have been shown to be effective for the acute phase should generally be continued for the maintenance phase in bipolar I disorder, there are some exceptions (such as with antidepressants); and available data suggest that lithium, quetiapine, divalproex, lamotrigine, asenapine, and aripiprazole monotherapy or combination treatments should be considered first-line for those initiating or switching treatment during the maintenance phase. In addition to addressing issues in bipolar I disorder, these guidelines also provide an overview of, and recommendations for, clinical management of bipolar II disorder, as well as advice on specific populations, such as women at various stages of the reproductive cycle, children and adolescents, and older adults. There are also discussions on the impact of specific psychiatric and medical comorbidities such as substance use, anxiety, and metabolic disorders. Finally, an overview of issues related to safety and monitoring is provided. The CANMAT and ISBD groups hope that these guidelines become a valuable tool for practitioners across the globe.

Female schizophrenia patients and risk of breast cancer: A population-based cohort study. Schizophr Res 2017; 188:165-171. [PMID: 28108225 DOI: 10.1016/j.schres.2017.01.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2016] [Revised: 12/20/2016] [Accepted: 01/08/2017] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women. This population-based cohort study aimed to examine the association between breast cancer in female schizophrenia patients and its association with the use of antipsychotics drugs. METHODS All study subjects were selected from the Taiwan Insurance Claims Data (1998-2008). We compared the risk for breast cancer between female schizophrenia patients receiving antipsychotics (n=29,641) with female patients without any serious mental illnesses nor receiving antipsychotic drugs (n=59,282). We also compared between patients on 1) first-generation antipsychotics (FGAs) alone; 2) combination of first and second generation antipsychotics (SGAs); and 3) SGAs alone. We then stratified those on SGAs into two subgroups according to their prolactin-elevating properties: risperidone (RIS), paliperidone (PAL) or amisulpride (AMI) and all other SGAs. RESULTS After adjusting for confounding factors, the risk of breast cancer in female schizophrenia patients was 1.94 higher than the non-schizophrenia cohort (aHR: 1.94, 95% CI: 1.43-2.63). Schizophrenia patients receiving a combination of FGAs and SGAs had a slightly higher risk of breast cancer than non-schizophrenic patients (aHR: 2.17, 95% CI: 1.56-3.01). Patients on RIS, PAL, and AMI had a 1.96-fold risk of breast cancer compared to the non-schizophrenic cohort (95% CI: 1.36-2.82). CONCLUSIONS This study raises awareness among both clinicians and patients about the importance of breast cancer screening and the promotion of healthy lifestyle choices. Due to the nature of our database, confounding factors - such as parity, obesity, hormone therapy, and smoking - could not be controlled for.

Abstract
Since the discovery of chlorpromazine (CPZ) in 1952, first-generation antipsychotics (FGAs) have revolutionized psychiatric care in terms of facilitating discharge from hospital and enabling large numbers of patients with severe mental illness (SMI) to be treated in the community. Second-generation antipsychotics (SGAs) ushered in a progressive shift from the paternalistic management of SMI symptoms to a patient-centered approach, which emphasized targets important to patients - psychosocial functioning, quality of life, and recovery. These drugs are no longer limited to specific Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) categories. Evidence indicates that SGAs show an improved safety and tolerability profile compared with FGAs. The incidence of treatment-emergent extrapyramidal side effects is lower, and there is less impairment of cognitive function and treatment-related negative symptoms. However, treatment with SGAs has been associated with a wide range of untoward effects, among which treatment-emergent weight gain and metabolic abnormalities are of notable concern. The present clinical review aims to summarize the safety and tolerability profile of selected FGAs and SGAs and to link treatment-related adverse effects to the pharmacodynamic profile of each drug. Evidence, predominantly derived from systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and clinical trials of the drugs amisulpride, aripiprazole, asenapine, brexpiprazole, cariprazine, clozapine, iloperidone, lurasidone, olanzapine, paliperidone, quetiapine, risperidone, sertindole, ziprasidone, CPZ, haloperidol, loxapine, and perphenazine, is summarized. In addition, the safety and tolerability profiles of antipsychotics are discussed in the context of the "behavioral toxicity" conceptual framework, which considers the longitudinal course and the clinical and therapeutic consequences of treatment-emergent side effects. In SMI, SGAs with safer metabolic profiles should ideally be prescribed first. However, alongside with safety, efficacy should also be considered on a patient-tailored basis.

Abstract
PURPOSE To examine the frequency of hyperprolactinemia and the socio-demographic, clinical, and quality of life (QOL) correlates. The frequency of prolactin-related side effects and associated subjective experiences were also examined. METHODS A cohort of 1364 psychiatric inpatients were consecutively recruited and evaluated. Basic socio-demographic and clinical data were collected. Psychopathology, prolactin-related side effects were measured using standardized instruments. QOL was assessed using the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form 12. RESULTS The frequency of hyperprolactinemia was 61.3% in the whole sample; 61.6% in female and 60.8% in male patients. There was no significant association between hyperprolactinemia and any QOL domain. In the whole sample, 15.1% of patients reported moderately severe breast symptoms and lactation, and 53.9% reported moderate or severe discomfort. Nearly a third of female patients (30.4%) reported at least moderate menstrual changes and 50.2% moderate or severe discomfort, while 24.2% of male patients reported at least moderate erectile dysfunction and 52.6% moderate or severe discomfort. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that patients with hyperprolactinemia were less likely to be married, diagnosed with mood disorders, or treated with clozapine, aripiprazole, or antidepressants but more likely to receive risperidone. CONCLUSIONS Effective measures to lower the frequency of hyperprolactinemia and the related side effects should be considered in Chinese psychiatric facilities.
