Study design details

Main study objective

The primary objective is to estimate the incidence per injection and per patient of post-injection syndrome events in schizophrenia patients receiving olanzapine long-acting injection.

Outcomes

Post-injection syndrome, - Clinical presentation and outcomes of post-injection syndrome- Potential risk factors association with post-injection syndrome- Hospitalization at baseline and post-baseline

Data analysis plan

For primary analysis, the crude incidence of post-injection syndrome events and 95% confidence intervals will be calculated based on the total number of patients enrolled in the study and the total number of injections given in the study period. Post-injection syndrome events used in the incidence will be based on adjudicated cases. Secondary analyses will include descriptive statistics of the study population and characterize the clinical presentation of post-injection syndrome events, including outcome. Adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals will be calculated using logistic regression to identify risk factors for patients experiencing post-injection syndrome events. Hospitalization at baseline (previous 6- or 12-months) and post-baseline will be tabulated for all enrolled patients. Descriptive statistics will be used to describe the frequency and duration of hospitalization.Additional analyses include the summarization of adverse events and serious adverse events.
