Background & Purpose: It is well known that Extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) is induced by atypical antipsychotic agents less frequently than by typical antipsychotic agents. The purpose of this study was to evaluate differences in rates of the use of antiparkinson agent, most commonly prescribed for the management of EPS, between patients with atypical agents and those with typical agents. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in a retrospective way with the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) of the 312 patients for whom the Antipsychotics were prescribed by the Psychiatry Department of the Inje University Ilsan Paik Hospital, from January of 2005 to February of 2011. They received either typical agents (N=15) or atypical agents (N=297) and those 2 groups were compared in terms of antiparkinson agent use. Also, we assessed the difference between individual atypical antipsychotic agents regarding antiparkinson agent use. Results: There was no significant difference in the rates of antiparkinson agent use between the two groups (the typical agent 13.33% vs. the atypical agent 9.76%, p = 0.6512). Meanwhile, the rates of antiparkinson agent use with aripiprazole versus quetiapine (aripirazole 25% vs. quetiapine 3.57%, p = 0.003) were significantly different, Also the rates of antiparkinson agent use with aripiprazole versus risperidone (aripiprazole 25% vs. risperidone 9.52%, p = 0.0216) had a statistical meaning. Conclusions: There was no significant difference in the rates of antiparkinson agent use between patients with atypical agents and those with typical agents. However the rate of antiparkinson agent use was significantly lower with aripiprazole compared with quetiapine or risperidone.
