Abstract:

Objective To investigate the influence of 5 antipsychotic drugs (aripiprazole,clozapine,olanzapine,risperidone and quetiapine) on liver function and heart function in the treatment of schizophrenia. Methods A total of 192 schizophrenia patients were enrolled and randomly classified into 5 groups,including 38 cases in clozapine group,40 cases in olanzapine group,37 cases in risperidone group,35 cases in quetiapine group and 42 cases in aripiprazole group. Clozapine group received clozapine tablets orally,olanzapine group received olanzapine tablets orally,risperidone group received risperidone tablets orally,quetiapine group received quetiapine tablets orally,and aripiprazole group received aripiprazole tablets orally. The treatment course of each group was 8 weeks. The curative effect,Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment(LOTCA) score,Positive and Negative Syngrome Scale(PANSS) score,heart function,liver function and Treatment Emergent Symptom Scale(TESS) score before and after treatment were evaluated. Results The total effective rate showed no statistical significance (P>0.05). LOTCA score was higher after treatment than that before treatment,and PANSS score was lower after treatment than that before treatment (P<0.05). LOTCA score and PANSS score of each group after treatment had no statistical significance (P>0.05). There were alanine aminotransferase(ALT) increasing,aspartate aminotransferase(AST) increasing and ALT+AST increasing without statistical significance (P>0.05). Left ventricular ejection fraction and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter were lower after treatment than those before treatment (P<0.05),and there was no statistical significance for left ventricular ejection fraction and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter of each group (P>0.05). TESS scores of risperidone and quetiapine groups at 4 and 8 weeks were lower than those of clozapine,olanzapine and aripiprazole groups (P<0.05). TESS scores of risperidone and quetiapine groups showed no statistical significance (P>0.05). Conclusions Aripiprazole,clozapine,olanzapine,risperidone and quetiapine have curative effects for the treatment of schizophrenia,with a little influence on liver function and heart function,and can improve the cognitive ability of patients with psychiatric symptoms. Risperidone and quetiapine have mild adverse reactions.
