Introduction
Influential protocols in the treatment of schizophre-
nia recommend the use of antipsychotics inmonotherapy, although
combination is common in clinical practice.
Objectives/aims
To compare cognitive performance of patients
with schizophrenia treated by antipsychotic monotherapy or
polytherapy; secondly, to analyze clinical and sociodemographic
differences.
Methods
Ninety-eight outpatients between 18 and 65 years,
diagnosedwith schizophrenia, based on the DSM-Vwere recruited.
Seventywere inmonotherapy and 28 in antipsychotic combination.
Patients with comorbidity, moderate to severe motor impregna-
tion, abuse-substance dependence or serious somatic illness were
excluded. Both groups were compared in sociodemographic, clin-
ical and cognitive measures: PANSS scale, short Akathisia Scale
Simpson-Angus Scale, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), face
emotion recognition (FEIT) and global Functioning (GAF), speed
processing - through the Trail Making Test, parte A, subtest of
symbol coding of the Brief Assessment of Cognition in Schizophre-
nia (BACS) and Verbal fluency (animals)- and sustained attention
(SA)–through the Continuous Performance Test (CPT).
Results
Both groups showed similar age, gender, number of hos-
pitalizations, score in STAI-Trait, STAI-State, ANGUS, GAF, TMT-A,
verbal fluency and face emotion recognition. Patients in polither-
apy had more years of evolution (
P
0.047), higher score in positive
PANSS (
P
0.007), negative PANSS (
P
0.008), general PANSS (
P
0.001);
they showed more detection errors in the CPT (
P
0008), and a trend
towards less processing speed through the symbol coding (
P
0.063),
compared to patients in monotherapy.
Conclusions
Antipsychotic polipharmacy is associated with an
impairment in sustained attention in patients with schizophrenia.

DECIDE Study
Effectiveness of shared decision making in treat-
ment planning at discharge of inpatient with schizophrenia:
interim analysis.
Introduction
Shared decision-making denotes a structured pro-
cess that encourages full participation by patient and provider in
making complex medical decisions. Hamann et al. conducted a
few years ago a randomized controlled trial with schizophrenic
inpatients and found increased knowledge and perceived involve-
ment in decisions about antipsychotic treatment at discharge by
the experimental group, but not clear beneficial effects on long
termoutcomes. The present communication introduces theDECIDE
study.
Aims and objectives
Of the study: to demonstrate the effective-
ness, measured as treatment adherence and readmissions at 3,
6 and 12 months, of shared decision making in the choice of
antipsychotic treatment at discharge in a simple of schizophren-
ics hospitalized after an acute episode of their disorder. Of the oral
presentation: to present preliminary conclusions with more of the
half of the sample.
Methods
Randomized controlled trial, prospective, two parallel
groups, not masked, comparing two interventions (shared deci-
sion making and treatment as usual). Study population: inpatients
diagnosed of schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorders (ICD-
10/DSM-IV-R: F20 y F25) at Adult Acute Hospitalization Unit at
Jerez General Hospital.
Results
At discharge, increased scale score COMRADE, both sub-
scales (Satisfacción in communication and trust in the decision)
statistically significant. At 3 months follow-up, intensification of
these differences in effect size and statistical significance and shows
trends in health outcomes. We will present results for 6 and 12
months.

Introduction
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is
a psychiatric chronic disorder of childhood that persists into ado-
lescence and adulthood in the most part of cases. There are various
ways of treating ADHD.
Objectives
Assess the effectiveness and tolerability of atom-
oxetine long-term and routine clinical practice in adult ADHD
treatment. Study the clinical profile of the patients who take ato-
moxetine.
Aims
The aim of this is to study the treatment of ADHD in adults
with a non-stimulant drug atomoxetine.
Methods
We obtain results from 126 patients recruited from July
2009 to May 2013 who have been prescribed Atomoxetine as a
treatment for ADHD from the hospital pharmacy.
Results
Comorbid disorders were presented in 57.1% of the
patients included at the study (25.3% of which belong to the
group of anxiety disorders). The use of other psychotropic drugs
associated with atomoxetine was observed in 54.8% of patients.
The 62.7% of the patients concerned continued treatment beyond
225 weeks (4 years 3 months) of observation. The Clinical Global
Impression Improvement scale (CGI-I) and side effects determine
monitoring treatment. A total of 61.9% of patients responded sat-
isfactory to treatment with atomoxetine getting the CGI-I scale
a score of 1-2. The duration of therapy and patient age are fac-
tors that influence the response. Furthermore, the clinical profile
