Worldwide-Schizophrenia Outpatient Health Outcomes (W-SOHO): baseline characteristics of pan-regional observational data from more than 17,000 patients
International Journal of Clinical Practice, 10/19/09

Karagianis J et al. – Overall, patients were 38 ± 13 years old (mean ± SD), moderately ill (mean CGI–SCH overall score of 4.4 ± 1.0) with a median duration of illness of 7 years (interquartile range 1–16 years); 43% were female, 10% were receiving antipsychotic medication for the first time. Adverse events were prevalent across all regions; on average, 50% (range 41–59%) of patients taking antipsychotics exhibited extrapyramidal symptoms at baseline, and 62% (34–67%) of patients reported sexual dysfunction in the previous month. On average, only 19% (16–23%) of patients were in paid employment and as many as 69% were living in dependent housing. Despite inherent diversity in these patients and the health care systems supporting them, there are striking cross–regional similarities in baseline characteristics for most measures. Not all countries are represented; regional comparison
