Background A recent review suggested an association between using unpublished scales in clinical trials and finding significant results. Aims To determine whether such existed schizophrenia trials. Method Three hundred were randomly selected from the Cochrane Schizophrenia Group's Register. All comparisons treatment groups control rating identified. The publication status of each scale was determined claims a effect recorded. Results Trials more likely to report that superior when used make...
Aims and Method To estimate the proportion of attrition at which results drug trials for people with schizophrenia lose enough credibility to become mistrusted by relevant groups stakeholders. A piloted questionnaire was sent 128 local clinicians, 100 researchers 104 service users carers. Results We received biggest number responses from user carer group ( n =81, 76%); 43% clinicians 32% responded. All three suggested that follow-up rate a 12-week trial should be around 70–75% credible....

Background The pharmacological management of violence in people with psychiatric disorders is under-researched. Aims To compare interventions commonly used for controlling agitation or serious disorders. Method We randomised 200 to receive intramuscular lorazepam (4 mg) haloperidol (10 plus promethazine (25–50 mg mix). Results At blinded assessments 4 h later (99.5% follow-up), equal numbers both groups (96%) were tranquil asleep. However, 76% given the haloperidol-promethazine mix asleep...
<b>Objective</b> To determine whether haloperidol alone results in swifter and safer tranquillisation sedation than plus promethazine. <b>Design</b> Pragmatic randomised open trial (January-July 2004). <b>Setting</b> Psychiatric emergency room, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. <b>Participants</b> 316 patients who needed urgent intramuscular because of agitation, dangerous behaviour, or both. <b>Interventions</b> Open treatment with 5-10 mg promethazine up to 50 mg; doses were at the discretion...
Valid reviews of the effects mental health care depend on identifying as high a proportion possible relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs). To investigate sensitivity and precision both MEDLINE hand-searching for RCTs in health, 12 journals specializing indexed by National Library Medicine (NLM) were searched years 1971, 1976, 1981, 1986 1991. The hand-search was 94% (95% Confidence Interval (CI) 93-95%), but it had only 7% (CI 6-8%). optimal search 52% 48-56%) 59% 55-63%). Of reports...
