Abstract: Objective To analyze factors related to efficacy of ziprasidone and extrapyramidal symptom (EPS) in 70 schizophrenia patients treated with ziprasidone. Methods Multi linear Logistic regression was used to analyze factors related to efficacy of the treatment and extrapyramidal symptom in 70 schizophrenia patients treated with ziprasidone.Results Significant episodes of the disease were the predictor for the good effect of ziprasidone(β=-0.496, P=0.000). Previous history with acute dysmyotonia and Parkinson syndrome, prominent positive symptom, were the predictor for acute dysmyotonia and Parkinson syndrome(β=-0.634, 0.332 respectively, P=0.000 for both). Previous history of akathisia, prominent positive symptom, and relapse time of disease were the predictor for akathisia(β=0.633, 0.136 respectively, P=0.000, 0.034 respectively), prominent negative symptom and duration of disease were the protective factors for akathisia(β=-0.310, -0.181 respectively, P=0.000, 0.024 respectively).Conclusion Schizophrenia patients with few relapses of disease will demonstrate good therapeutic effect when treated with ziprasidone. Schizophrenia patients with previous history of extrapyramidal symptom, or with fewer relapses of disease may show higher occurrence of EPS; patients with prominent negative symptom, long duration of disease may predict lower occurrence of akathisia. Patients with prominent positive symptom may predict higher occurrence of acute dysmyotonia and Parkinson syndrome.
