Ratio of serum prolactin to haloperidol and early clinical outcome in acute psychosis.
The ratio of the increase in serum prolactin concentration to steady-state haloperidol concentration in acutely psychotic women correlated with early clinical improvement. Correction of prolactin response for neuroleptic concentration may provide a better clinical predictor than either measure alone.
