Abstract

Objective: To compare weight and glucose changes of long-term second-generation antipsychotic (SGA) monotherapy versus polytherapy (switching or combining SGAs) in children and adolescents. Methods: This is a 24-month retrospective study conducted between November 2005 and June 2013. From 147 antipsychotic-naive patients selected (mean age, 12.8 years; 95% confidence interval [CI], 9.8-15.9), 116 (78.9%) received SGA monotherapy and 31 (21.1%) SGA polytherapy for up to 24 months. Height, weight, and fasting glucose (FG) were measured at baseline and 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months. Linear mixed-model analysis was used to compare weight, body mass index z score (BMI z score), and glucose changes between the 2 SGA treatment groups, with the repeated factor being the time relative to baseline at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months. Results: Overall, after 24 months of SGA treatment, mean weight increased significantly by 12.8 kg (95% CI, 10.4-15.0), BMI z score by 0.44 (95% CI, 0.21-0.68), and FG levels by 0.29 mmol/L (95% CI, 0.11-0.47). Incidence of overweight/obesity was 22.6%, BMI z score increase over 0.5 was 9.4%, impaired fasting glucose was 9.4%, and type 2 diabetes mellitus was 3.1%. Regarding metabolic effects, no significant difference was found between the subjects taking a single SGA and those exposed to an SGA polytherapy. Conclusion: Our study confirms the significant increase of metabolic complications during 24 months of SGA treatment without excluding or confirming a difference between the 2 groups of treatment (mono vs. poly).
