Clozapine is the most effective antipsychotic for the 25% to 33% of people with schizophrenia who are treatment resistant, but not all people achieve response. Using data from a previously published clozapine systematic review and meta-analysis, we explored the proportion of people who achieved response and examined the absolute and percentage change in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) scores. Overall, 40.1% (95% confidence interval [CI], 36.8%-43.4%) responded, with a mean reduction in PANSS of 22.0 points (95% CI, 20.9-23.1), a reduction of 25.8% (95% CI, 24.7%-26.9%) from baseline. These reductions are clinically meaningful. A 40% response rate to clozapine suggests that 12% to 20% of people with schizophrenia will be ultra-resistant.
氯氮平是治疗抵抗的 25%至 33%精神分裂症患者最有效的抗精神病药物,但并非所有人都能达到疗效。利用先前发表的氯氮平系统评价和荟萃分析的数据,我们探讨了达到疗效的人群比例,并检查阳性和阴性症状量表(PANSS)评分的绝对和百分比变化。总体而言,40.1%(95%置信区间[CI],36.8%-43.4%)的患者有反应,PANSS 平均降低 22.0 分(95%CI,20.9-23.1),与基线相比降低了 25.8%(95%CI,24.7%-26.9%)。这些减少具有临床意义。氯氮平的 40%反应率表明,12%至 20%的精神分裂症患者将具有超强耐药性。
