Neither measure was significantly correlated with clinical effect, as measured by the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale, at any of the 5 pre-injection times examined. None of the measures showed statistically significant (P greater than 0.05; MANOVA) variations with time. Neither measure showed a significant correlation with the dose (expressed as mg/kg) of fluphenazine. The implications of the study for monitoring chronic treatment of schizophrenia are discussed. | Gov't Doc #: | 3693869 | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/13005 | Journal: | International clinical psychopharmacology | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3693869 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Adult Female Fluphenazine.analogs & derivatives.blood.therapeutic use Humans Male Middle Aged Prolactin.blood Schizophrenia.blood.drug therapy |
