O7.3. dose-response meta-analysis to identify the optimum and equivalent doses of antipsychotic drugs for schizophrenia

DiscussionFrom a conceptual point of view, dose-response meta-analysis is the most appropriate method to identify maximally effective doses and equivalent doses. The results of this meta-analysis will be compared with other published methods to define dose-response, in particular the minimum-effective dose method, the classical mean dose method, the daily-defined-doses (DDD) method and expert consensus methods. The results of this analysis are likely to provide information with impact for treatment decisions.
