About this study

Official title: Can Point-of-care Testing (POCT) and Assistance From Comprehensive Medication Management (CMM) Pharmacists Improve Early Detection and Management of Metabolic Syndrome in Patients Treated With Antipsychotic Medications?

The study was a 12-month, multi-centered, quasi-experimental design to assess point-of-care (POCT) screening/monitoring of subjects on antipsychotic agents for metabolic syndrome. Subjects were also randomized to either an Extended Treatment Group (ETG) defined by receiving comprehensive medication management (CMM) pharmacist interventions or a Usual Treatment Group (UTG) receiving no CMM interventions. All subjects were recruited from three community mental health clinic settings in Minnesota.

Read the detailed description

It is well recognized that patients on antipsychotic agents with mental illness continue to be affected by a severe health disparity due to lack of adequate metabolic monitoring.1-7 A major healthcare concern is the life-expectancy decrease of ~25 years for patients with illnesses such as schizophrenia as compared with the general population. Equally concerning is that patients with severe persistent mental illness (SPMI) continue to have inadequate integration of care between psychiatry and medicine. Because of the difficulty getting patients to primary care or hospital based laboratories, the use of capillary blood, point-of-care tests (POCT) to monitor glucose and lipids in addition to vital signs and other anthropometric measurements in community mental health centers might prove beneficial. It is highly likely that this advanced level of screening in the mental health setting may lead to identifying new metabolic abnormalities or improved treatment with careful monitoring of previously diagnosed metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and/or hypertension in antipsychotic treated patients. It is hypothesized that if metabolic abnormalities are identified; then providing pharmacist CMM consultative services would reduce medication related problems by improving medication adherence, coordination of care between psychiatry and primary care, and outcomes in metabolic indices.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) (time frame: Baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
