Cerebro‐ and cardiovascular conditions in adults with schizophrenia treated with antipsychotic medications
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To report on the relative risk of cerebro- and cardiovascular disorders associated with antipsychotic treatment among adults with schizophrenia. METHOD: Medical and pharmacy claims data from the South Carolina Medicaid program were extracted to compare the prevalence rates for four coded cerebrovascular (cerebrovascular disease; cerebrovascular accident; cerebrovascular hemorrhage; and peripheral vascular disease) and four cardiovascular (myocardial infarction; ischemic heart disease; arrhythmias; and cardiomyopathy) conditions. The analysis employed a retrospective cohort design with a 3 years time period as the interval of interest. Schizophrenic adults (18-54) (n = 2251) prescribed one of six atypical or two conventional antipsychotic medications were identified and comprised the analysis set. RESULTS: Incidence rates for cerebrovascular disorders ranged from 0.5 to 3.6%. No significant association between antipsychotic usage and cerebrovascular disorders was noted largely due to the low base rate. Incidence rates for overall cardiovascular conditions ranged from 6 to 20%. The odds of developing cardiomyopathy were significantly lower for aripiprazole (OR = -3.45; p = 0.02), while the odds of developing hypertension were significantly lower for males (OR = -1.37; p = 0.009) but significantly higher for patients prescribed ziprasidone (OR = 1.91; p = 0.01) relative to conventional antipsychotics. CONCLUSION: No significant association between antipsychotic usage and cerebro- or cardiovascular disorders was noted.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
