Second-generation antipsychotics (SGAs) tend to induce weight gain, dyslipidemia and diabetes mellitus. For those reasons, patients treated with SGAs should receive appropriate monitoring to avoid morbidity and mortality associated with cardiovascular disease. We conducted a one-year follow-up study using Japanese blood glucose monitoring guidance in schizophrenia patients treated with SGAs to evaluate the detection capability of the guidance in real clinical settings and to assess the importance of longitudinal monitoring. This retrospective cohort study included schizophrenia patients receiving at least one SGA, who were enrolled during June 2008-January 2009 at multiple sites and who had both baseline data and follow-up monitoring data at month 12. After one-year follow-up, the probable diabetes type (fasting blood glucose is higher than 125Â mg/dL, casual blood glucose is higher than 179Â mg/dL, or glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is greater than 6.4%) was detected in 30 (8%) of the patients, and the pre-diabetes type (fasting blood glucose is 110-125Â mg/dL, or casual blood glucose is 140-179Â mg/dL, or HbA1c is 6.0-6.4%) in 65 (17.4%) out of the total of 374 patients. During the follow-up period, 1.5% of patients had advanced from the normal (fasting blood glucose is less than 110Â mg/dL, casual blood glucose is less than 140Â mg/dL, or HbA1c is less than 6.0%) to probable diabetes type and 42.4% had progressed from the pre-diabetes to probable diabetes type. Predictive factors for worsening of the diabetic state were a family history of diabetes, and high serum total-cholesterol and triglyceride levels at baseline. Not only cross-sectional baseline screening but also longitudinal follow-up screening is important to detect glucose abnormalities in patients treated with SGAs.
⺠1.5% of patients progressed from normal to probable diabetes type during 1-year follow-up. ⺠42.4% of patients progressed from pre-diabetes to probable diabetes type during 1-year follow-up. ⺠Predictive factors were family history of DM, elevated serum T-chol and TG at baseline.
