Monitoring of physical health parameters. a There were significant improvements in the monitoring of fasting glucose (p=0.047), HbA1c (p=0.005) and prolactin levels (p=0.001) after the implementation of targeted improvement strategies in FEP. There were no changes in the rate of ECG, weight or BMI monitoring. Blood pressure (p=0.039) and heart rate (p=0.03) monitoring dis-improved (data not shown). b The routine monitoring of blood pressure improved (p=0.053) post-intervention in the chronic psychotic disorders group (HbA1c: glycated haemoglobin, FEP: first-episode psychosis, ECG: electrocardiogram, BMI: body mass index)
