IntroductionSecond-generation antipsychotics (SGAs) are widely used in the paediatric population. It is currently established that SGAs may induce metabolic adverse events (AEs) such as weight gain, perturbation of blood lipids or glucose with risk of potential cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The Canadian Alliance for Monitoring Effectiveness and Safety of Antipsychotics in children (CAMESA) has published recommendations for monitoring the metabolic AEs of SGAs. Factors that may be associated with the onset of SGA’s metabolic AEs and long-term consequences are less studied in the literature. The objectives of our research are to evaluate some factors that can influence the development of the SGA’s metabolic AEs and to study clinical adherence to CAMESA guidelines.Methods and analysisThe Monitoring des Effets Métaboliques des Antipsychotiques de Seconde Génération study is a multicenter, prospective, longitudinal observational study with repeated measures of metabolic monitoring over 24 months. Two recruiting centres have been selected for patients under 18 years of age, previously naive of antipsychotics, starting an SGA or who have started an SGA for less than 4 weeks regardless of the diagnosis that motivated the prescription. Assessments are performed for anthropometric measures, blood pressure, blood tests at baseline and 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 24 months of follow-up.Ethics and disseminationThe study protocol was approved by the CHU Sainte-Justine’s Research Ethics Board (MP-21-2016-1201) in 2016 and obtained institutional suitability for the ‘Centre Intégré Universitaire de Santé et de Services Sociaux du Nord-de-l’Île-de-Montréal’ Research Center in May 2018. For all participants, written consent will be obtained from parents/caregivers as well as the participant’s assent in order to enable their participation in this research project. The results of this research will be published.Trial registration numberClinicalTrials.gov (number NCT04395326).

The second generation antipsychotic agents, although exhibit superior safety profile, is associated with metabolic adverse effects including weight gain, diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidaemia. These adverse effects are not only the risk factors for cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus but may also impair patient’s adherence to treatment. However, different member of second generation antipsychotics differ in their extent of metabolic adverse effects. The aim of the study was to evaluate the association between olanzapine, risperidone or quetiapine treatment and body mass index, blood pressure, diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidaemia in patients with Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder. Forty-four cases of Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder diagnosed with DSM-IV criteria were selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Body weight, body mass index and blood pressure were measured at baseline, at the end of 4th, 8th and 12th weeks of treatment. Blood samples were collected to measure blood glucose and serum lipid profile at baseline and at the end of 4th, 8th and 12th weeks in the study group receiving treatment (olanzapine 20-30 mg/day, risperidone 4-16 mg/day and quetiapine 300-800 mg/day) after overnight fasting. Therapeutic use of olanzapine and risperidone in Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder for a period of 4th, 8th and 12th weeks was associated with significant increase in body weight and body mass index. Quetiapine did not cause significant changes in body weight and body mass index after 4 and 8 weeks. However, after 12 weeks treatment, body mass index increased significantly. Olanzapine, risperidone and quetiapine increased the blood glucose level significantly after 8 and 12 weeks treatment. Olanzapine and risperidone elevated the serum cholesterol, triglyceride and low density lipoprotein levels significantly after 4, 8 and 12 weeks. But quetiapine showed no significant change in lipid profile. However, olanzapine and risperidone significantly increased triglyceride level after 8 and 12 weeks. Amongst three drugs, quetiapine treatment increased high density lipoprotein level. Our study revealed that quetiapine treatment is associated with less risk of dyslipidaemia.

INTRODUCTION: The Metabolic Syndrome is a set of diverse clinical situations such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension and dyslipidemia. Patients with mental illnesses such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder have a higher mortality than the general population attributable in 60% to somatic diseases and metabolic syndrome, where second generation antipsychotics increase the risk of weight gain and insulin resistance. Objectives. Correlate the treatment with second generation antipsychotics (SGAs) as a possible predictor for Metabolic Syndrome according to the NCEP ATP III (a) classification. METHODS: Descriptive, cross-sectional correlational study. The sample was of 92 patients, applying an open and convenience sampling due to the mental state of the patients in order to determine their degree of acceptance to the study (Informed Assent) and consent to the legal guardian as the main inclusion criterion. For the analysis, the following variables were considered: blood pressure, weight, height, abdominal circumference, serum levels of triglycerides, glucose and high density lipoproteins. The SPSS 20.0 ® program was used logistic regression analysis with a p-value <0.05 and a confidence level of 95%. RESULTS: SGAs most used was clozapine (54.3%). The correlation analysis showed that sociodemographic aspects such as personal history, habits, physical activity and paraclinical and anthropometric records correlated with the possible diagnosis of metabolic syndrome (p <0.05), but not with SGAs (p> 0.05). ). CONCLUSION: No correlation was found between the presence of the metabolic syndrome and the type of antipsychotic treatment.
