About this study

Official title: Outcomes of Antipsychotic Medication Use in the Emergency Department: A Retrospective Comparison Study

To review records of patients treated with antipsychotics (including Adasuve, Geodon, Haldol) in order to evaluate outcomes.

Read the detailed description

A retrospective chart review will be performed for all patients presenting to the ED with agitation and subsequently given antipsychotic therapy for treatment. Identification of patients will be through chart review of patients presenting with agitation. Data to be recorded include patient age, gender, medical history, time of presentation, time of treatment, co morbidities, use of restraint, time to disposition and patient outcome. Inclusion criteria include all patients over age 18 presenting to the ED with agitation and treated with antipsychotics. No patients will be knowingly excluded from analysis. We will compare resulting outcomes of patients treated for agitation to see if Adasuve is superior to other commonly prescribed antipsychotics through its rate of discharge home and overall time in the emergency department.

Being tested
Adasuve, Alternative medications

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • AdasuveDrug

    Medication given to treat acute agitation in the emergency department

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Length of stay in the emergency department

    We will compare resulting outcomes of patients treated for agitation to see if Adasuve is superior to other commonly prescribed antipsychotics through its rate of discharge home and overall time in the emergency department.

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of emergency department stay, an expected average of 12 hours.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Disposition

    disposition (home, transfer, admit), and time to disposition

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of emergency department stay, an expected average of 12 hours.
