Inclusion criteria
* At least one discharge for psychiatric hospitalization with a diagnosis of a psychotic disorder between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2020. * At least one long-term disease record (LTD), (which is a French administrative status allowing the full reimbursement of the cost of a chronic pathology) with a diagnosis of a psychotic disorder between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2020. * Age of 18 years or older at index date (first date found in the previous conditions).
Exclusion criteria
• Due to data management constraint, the participants with multiple or temporary identifiers in the database (indistinguishable in database) will be excluded. This happens with twins or migrants, for example.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Time from Discharge from a Psychiatric Hospitalization to the Next Psychiatric Rehospitalization | From 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020 | Participants will be censored in case of death or lost to follow up or on 31 Dec 2020, whichever occurs first. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of Participants With Consultations Based on a Hospital Psychiatrists, General Practitioner, Private Psychiatric Practitioner or Other Private Specialist | From 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020 | Participants will be censored in case of death or lost to follow up or on 31 Dec 2020, whichever occurs first. |
| Number of Participants With Hepatic, Glycaemia, Cardiovascular, Lipidic Anomalies Assessments | From 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020 | Participants will be censored in case of death or lost to follow up or on 31 Dec 2020, whichever occurs first. |
| Number of Participants With Loxapac Treatment Episodes | From 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020 | Participants will be censored in case of death or lost to follow up or on 31 Dec 2020, whichever occurs first. |
| Number of Participants With Off-drug Loxapac Treatment Period | From 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020 | The off-drug period is defined as the period between two sequences of Loxapac treatment. Participants will be censored in case of death or lost to follow up or on 31 Dec 2020, whichever occurs first. |
| Duration of Loxapac Treatment | From 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020 | The time between the start of each Loxapac sequence since the end of Loxapac sequence, switch to another treatment or end of follow-up. Several sequences may exist for one participant. This outcome will be based on medical possession ratio (MPR). MPR will be calculated using B/D formula. Where, B is number of days of supply of Loxapac and D is number of days between the initiation of Loxapac and the end of follow-up. Participants will be censored in case of death or lost to follow up or on 31 Dec 2020, whichever occurs first. |
| Percentage of Days Covered (PDC) With Loxapac Treatment | From 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020 | PDC will be calculated using A/D formula. Where A is number of days covered, that is, number of days of supply of Loxapac without carry-over of overlap days and D is number of days between the initiation of Loxapac and the end of follow-up. Participants will be censored in case of death or lost to follow up or on 31 Dec 2020, whichever occurs first. |
| Medical Possession Ratio (MPR) | From 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020 | MPR will be calculated using B/D formula. Where, B is number of days of supply of Loxapac and D is number of days between the initiation of Loxapac and the end of follow-up. Participants will be censored in case of death or lost to follow up or on 31 Dec 2020, whichever occurs first. |
| Fixed Medical Possession Ratio (FMPR) | From 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020 | FMPR will be evaluated using MPR and PDC. MPR will be calculated using B/D formula. Where, B is number of days of supply of Loxapac and D is number of days between the initiation of Loxapac and the end of follow-up. PDC will be calculated using A/D formula. Where A is number of days covered, that is, number of days of supply of Loxapac without carry-over of overlap days and D is number of days between the initiation of Loxapac and the end of follow-up. Participants will be censored in case of death or lost to follow up or on 31 Dec 2020, whichever occurs first. |
| Percentage of Participants Using Loxapac as Monotherapy or With Other Antipsychotic Polypharmacy Medication | From 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020 | Percentage of participants will be reported using Loxapac or other polypharmacy medications, including anti-psychotic medication (typical/atypical); anti-depressants; anti-psychotic medication sedatives (other than benzodiazepines and z-drugs) and with benzodiazepines and z-drugs; anti-psychotic medication and lithium; anti-psychotic medication mood stabilizers; and with at least one other concomitant medication and without concomitant medication.

| Cumulative Duration of Loxapac as Monotherapy | From 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020 | Participants will be censored in case of death or lost to follow up or on 31 Dec 2020, whichever occurs first. |
| Cumulative Duration of an Atypical/Typical Antipsychotic Drug Taken as Monotherapy Other Than Loxapac | From 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020 | Participants will be censored in case of death or lost to follow up or on 31 Dec 2020, whichever occurs first. |
