Tardive Dyskinesia: analysis of outpatients with schizophrenia from Africa and the Middle East, Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, and Latin America.
The point prevalence of Tardive Dyskinesia (TD) in schizophrenia outpatients (n=6981) participating in a study of health outcomes was 8.9%. Duration of diagnosis, age, and prior use of typical antipsychotics were diagnostic indicators of TD in this population, with male sex further increasing risk. This study provides new data in a non-Western population with a unique regional geography comparison.
