Brief summary
This is a regulatory-required non-interventional pharmacovigilance study exploring the safety profile of ziprasidone HCL monohydrate 20mg, 40mg, 60mg, 80mg in the real world patient population, thus, safety (and/or efficacy) signals will be checked at every visit during the contracted study period until the maximum study end date, per the protocol, of April 2010.
Detailed description
All patients diagnosed with schizophrenia or acute manic or mixed episodes associated with bipolar disorder, with or without psychotic features will be included in the study.
Interventions
This is a non-interventional, pharmacovigilance study, therefore patients are on ziprasidone as prescribed by their doctor.

Participant flow
Pre-assignment details
Pediatric patients \<18 years of age (N=105) were enrolled in error by some sites and were subsequently reported as protocol violations. Given that the objective of this Non-interventional study was to observe the safety and efficacy of Zeldox in real life, the data collected from these participants was included in the safety and efficacy analyses.

Change From Baseline in Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS ) - Improvement
BPRS-A: 18-item clinician rated scale to assess somatic concern, anxiety, emotional withdrawal, disorganization, hallucinatory behavior, guilt feelings, suspiciousness, disorientation, tension, mannerisms, posturing, grandiosity, depressive mood, hostility, motor retardation, uncooperativeness, unusual thought content, blunted affect, and excitement. Ratings anchored to improve consistency for a single rater over time or between raters. Items rated on 7-point scale 0 (not present) to 6 (extremely severe). Total score=sum of items (range 0 to 108); higher scores indicate increased pathology.
Time frame: Baseline up to Week 8
Population: Safety analysis set: all participants who received at least 1 dose of study treatment. It was recommended to use the optional BPRS tool to gather additional information for the improvement score under usual practice. The optional BPRS tool was not used during the study.
Change From Baseline in Drug Attitude Inventory (DAI-10) - Improvement
DAI-10: a 10-item scale to assess how the attitude of participants with schizophrenia toward their medications may affect compliance. Respondents indicate 'true' or 'false' for each item. An overall calculated score ranges from -10 to 10, where a positive score indicates a positive subjective response (compliant); a negative score indicates non-compliance.
Time frame: Baseline up to Week 8
