Measure
Control Group
Olanzapine 5 mg and 10 mg, risperidone 1 mg and 4 mg, and quetiapine 100 mg and 200 mg oral tablets. Participants entered the study at the same dose as prior to randomization. Dose adjustments during the study were allowed within the dose range specified in the respective Summaries of Product Characteristics (SmPCs), according the investigator's judgment.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 16

Population: Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) data set, Non-HDL measurements obtained after start of a treatment with a lipid-lowering agent were excluded; last measurement prior was used for LOCF analyses. Baseline data was carried forward for LOCF analysis for subjects for whom no on-treatment measurements for fasting non-HDL cholesterol was available.

Non-HDL cholesterol was calculated as fasting Total Cholesterol minus fasting HDL Cholesterol.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 16

Population: LOCF, Safety Sample For handling missing values, the metabolic syndrome is assumed to be ongoing unless there is enough data to support the resolution of the metabolic syndrome.

Metabolic syndrome is defined as the presence of at least 3 out of the following Adult Treatment Panel III-A (ATP III-A) criteria (all of which are to be assessed at the same visit): waist \>102 cm in males, \>88 cm in females; blood pressure (BP) systolic BP ≥130 or diastolic BP ≥85 mm Hg; fasting HDL \<40 mg/dL in males, \<50 mg/dL in females; fasting triglycerides ≥150 mg/dL; fasting glucose ≥100 mg/dL, and/or the start of a treatment for any of the parameters of metabolic syndrome during the course of the study.

A CGI-S assessment (a 7-point scale to evaluate the severity of symptoms) was performed at baseline (1=normal; 7=among the most extremely ill patients). A decrease in value indicates improvement.

The SWN-short form is a 20-item self-report instrument that measures subjective well-being under neuroleptics. 10 positive and 10 negative items cover 5 health domains (subscales) (4 items each): emotional regulation, self-control, mental functioning, social integration, and physical functioning. Individual scores range from 1 (not at all) to 6 (very much). With negative item scores being reversed, Subscale scores range from 4 to 24 and Total score ranges from 20 to 120.

IWQoL-Lite is a 31-item self-report inventory to assess the impact of weight on quality of life among patients with obesity. Subscales include: Physical Function, Self Esteem, Sexual Life, Public Distress and Work. The rescaled IWQoL-Lite Total Score is determined by the sum of the 1 to 5 scores on all 31 items and rescaling this sum to a 0-100 scoring with 0=the poorest and 100=the best quality of life. A change of 7.8 to 12.0 points on the rescaled IWQoL-Lite Total Score=a meaningful improvement. A change of -4.5 to -7.6 on the rescaled IWQoL-Lite Total Score=a meaningful deterioration.
