The PANSS is a 30-item scale used to evaluate the presence, absence, and severity of schizophrenia symptoms. The 30 items are arranged as 7 positive symptom items (P1 to P7), 7 negative symptom items (N1 to N7), and 16 general psychopathology symptom items (G1 to G16). Items are scored over the past week (7 days) on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (absent) to 7 (extreme). The PANSS total score can range from a minimum of 30 to a maximum of 210, where a higher score signifies greater severity of schizophrenia symptoms.

Patients randomised and treated (at least 1 dose of study medication) who had both a baseline value and at least 1 post-baseline value for the PANSS total score.

The CGI-S is a 1-item scale, used to rate the severity of the disorder from 0 (not assessed) to 7 (among the most extremely ill patients). A higher CGI-S score denotes greater severity of the disorder.

Patients randomised and treated (at least 1 dose of study medication) who had both a baseline value and at least 1 post-baseline value for the PANSS total score.

The 30 items are arranged as 7 positive symptom items (P1 to P7), 7 negative symptom items (N1 to N7), and 16 general psychopathology symptom items (G1 to G16). Items are scored over the past week (7 days) on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (absent) to 7 (extreme).

The PANSS positive subscale score can range from 7 to 49; the PANSS negative subscale score can range from 7 to 49; the PANSS general psychopathology scale score can range from 16 to 112.

For each of the subscale scores, a higher score signifies greater severity of schizophrenia symptoms.

Patients randomised and treated (at least 1 dose of study medication) who had both a baseline value and at least 1 post-baseline value for the PANSS total score.

Porportion of patients showing a PANSS response of >=20% or >=30% reduction in PANSS total score PANSS total score reduction signifies improvement.

Patients randomised and treated (at least 1 dose of study medication) who had both a baseline value and at least 1 post-baseline value for the PANSS total score.

The CGI-I is a 1-item scale, used to rate the improvement from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse). Higher scores denote less improvement.

A CGI-I score of 1 or 2 was counted as response. The Analysis was performed twice; once including missing values as non-responders (MN) and once including only observed cases (OC).

Patients randomised and treated (at least 1 dose of study medication) who had both a baseline value and at least 1 post-baseline value for the PANSS total score.

Patients randomised and treated (at least 1 dose of study medication) who had both a baseline value and at least 1 post-baseline value for the PANSS total score.

The PSP is a validated 100-point (1 to100) single-item rating scale to assess the psychosocial functioning of patients with schizophrenia. The maximum score is 100. Higher scores denote better psychosocial functioning.

Patients randomised and treated (at least 1 dose of study medication) who had both a baseline value and at least 1 post-baseline value for the PANSS total score.

The DAI-10 contains 6 items (1, 3, 4, 7, 9, and 10) that a patient who is fully adherent to study medication would answer as "True" and 4 items (2, 5, 6, and 8) that a patient who is fully adherent to study medication would answer as "False." A correct answer is scored +1 and an incorrect answer is scored -1; the total score is derived as overall sum. The score can range from -10 to 10. Positive total scores indicate adherence and negative total scores indicate non-adherence. Higher scores denote better adherence.

Patients randomised and treated (at least 1 dose of study medication) who had both a baseline value and at least 1 post-baseline value for the PANSS total score.

The KSS is a self-reported measure of a patient's level of drowsiness. In this study, drowsiness was to be rated during the last week (7 days). Scoring is based on a 9-point verbally anchored scale ranging from 1 (extremely alert) to 9 (very sleepy, great effort to keep awake, fighting sleep). The maximum score is 9. Higher scores denote more drowsiness.
