Metabolic Monitoring of Child and Adolescent Patients on Atypical Antipsychotics by Psychiatrists and Primary Care Providers

Conclusions: Metabolic monitoring rate of child and adolescent patients on SGAs was low overall. No statistically significant differences were seen between psychiatry and PCP except a significantly higher rate of fasting plasma glucose level monitoring at baseline among PCP. Limitations to the study include the small sample size obtained for the period investigated and insufficient documentation in some electronic charts. Extending the period studied may increase the statistical significance of the data.
