Abstract
Both the US FDA and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) have approved aripiprazole for use in adolescents for specific indications. Given the assumed favorable side-effect profile of aripiprazole, its use in children and adolescents has increased for both official and off-label indications (anxiety disorders, eating disorders, personality disorders). However, several cases of children and adolescents with new-onset extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) after commencing treatment with aripiprazole have been reported, and a more systematic appraisal of this possible risk is lacking.
We conducted a systematic review and a meta-analysis to assess the evidence for acute EPS (acute dystonia, akathisia, Parkinsonism) associated with the use of aripiprazole in children and adolescents.
We searched the MEDLINE and Embase databases (2003–10 April 2016) for clinical trials in pediatric patients (aged 0–18 years) using the keywords ‘aripiprazole’ (regardless of the formulation) and ‘extrapyramidal symptoms’. We evaluated the abstracts of papers using the following exclusion criteria: (1) study design: case report, letter to the editor, editorial, or poster presentation data; (2) unrelated PICOS (population, intervention, comparators, outcomes, study) structure. We performed a meta-analysis, in which we used effect sizes with 95 % confidence intervals (CIs). To examine the homogeneity of the effect size distribution, we used a Q-statistic. When we observed heterogeneity in effect sizes, we assessed the possible influence of moderator variables (age and sex, mean dose, study duration, and method of measuring EPS incidence) and evaluated the suitability of either a fixed or a random model. Finally, we assessed the incidence of EPS in children and adolescents treated with aripiprazole compared with placebo.
An initial search via PubMed and Embase yielded 328 hits. A manual search of the reference lists of review papers revealed seven additional relevant articles. We included 41 studies, with 2114 pediatric patients, in the meta-analysis. For the analysis of the mean incidence of EPS, data were provided by 24 studies, with a total of 1446 pediatric patients. Meta-analysis revealed a mean EPS incidence of 17.1 % (95 % CI 0.128–0.223). In terms of the incidence of various extrapyramidal side effects, overall, no significant effects of age, sex, mean dose, study duration, or measuring method could be demonstrated. The side effects ‘EPS’, ‘parkinsonism’, and ‘tremor’ were significantly more common in children and adolescents treated with aripiprazole than in those treated with placebo.
Our meta-analysis provides evidence for a non-negligible incidence of acute EPS in children and adolescents treated with aripiprazole. Although the study has several limitations and further investigation is needed, these findings may help clinicians make more balanced treatment choices and more closely monitor the use of this drug in youth.

Given the assumed favorable side-effect profile of aripiprazole, its use in children and adolescents has increased for both official and off-label indications (anxiety disorders, eating disorders, personality disorders). However, several cases of children and adolescents with new-onset extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) after commencing treatment with aripiprazole have been reported, and a more systematic appraisal of this possible risk is lacking.</p></sec><sec><title>Objective</title><p>We conducted a systematic review and a meta-analysis to assess the evidence for acute EPS (acute dystonia, akathisia, Parkinsonism) associated with the use of aripiprazole in children and adolescents.</p></sec><sec><title>Method</title><p>We searched the MEDLINE and Embase databases (2003–10 April 2016) for clinical trials in pediatric patients (aged 0–18 years) using the keywords ‘aripiprazole’ (regardless of the formulation) and ‘extrapyramidal symptoms’. We evaluated the abstracts of papers using the following exclusion criteria: (1) study design: case report, letter to the editor, editorial, or poster presentation data; (2) unrelated PICOS (population, intervention, comparators, outcomes, study) structure. We performed a meta-analysis, in which we used effect sizes with 95 % confidence intervals (CIs). To examine the homogeneity of the effect size distribution, we used a Q-statistic. When we observed heterogeneity in effect sizes, we assessed the possible influence of moderator variables (age and sex, mean dose, study duration, and method of measuring EPS incidence) and evaluated the suitability of either a fixed or a random model. Finally, we assessed the incidence of EPS in children and adolescents treated with aripiprazole compared with placebo.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>An initial search via PubMed and Embase yielded 328 hits. A manual search of the reference lists of review papers revealed seven additional relevant articles. We included 41 studies, with 2114 pediatric patients, in the meta-analysis. For the analysis of the mean incidence of EPS, data were provided by 24 studies, with a total of 1446 pediatric patients. Meta-analysis revealed a mean EPS incidence of 17.1 % (95 % CI 0.128–0.223). In terms of the incidence of various extrapyramidal side effects, overall, no significant effects of age, sex, mean dose, study duration, or measuring method could be demonstrated. The side effects ‘EPS’, ‘parkinsonism’, and ‘tremor’ were significantly more common in children and adolescents treated with aripiprazole than in those treated with placebo.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Our meta-analysis provides evidence for a non-negligible incidence of acute EPS in children and adolescents treated with aripiprazole. Although the study has several limitations and further investigation is needed, these findings may help clinicians make more balanced treatment choices and more closely monitor the use of this drug in youth.</p></sec><sec><title>Electronic supplementary material</title><p>The online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s40263-016-0367-y) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.</p></sec></abstract><custom-meta-group><custom-meta><meta-name>issue-copyright-statement</meta-name><meta-value>© Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016</meta-value></custom-meta></custom-meta-group></article-meta></front><body><sec id="FPar1"><title>Key Points</title><p><table-wrap id="Taba"><table frame="hsides" rules="groups"><tbody><tr><td align="left">In light of recent concerns about extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) as a potential side effect of aripiprazole, we conducted a meta-analysis to assess the incidence of EPS in children and adolescents.</td></tr><tr><td align="left">We found a mean incidence of 17.1 % (95 % confidence interval 0.128–0.223).</td></tr><tr><td align="left">This finding highlights the importance of considerate prescription of aripiprazole in youth.</td></tr></tbody></table></table-wrap></p></sec><sec id="Sec1"><title>Introduction</title><p>The US FDA has approved the use of aripiprazole in adolescents (aged 13–17 years) with schizophrenia, in pediatric patients (aged 10–17 years) with manic or mixed episodes associated with a bipolar I disorder (both as monotherapy and as an adjunct to lithium or valproate [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR2">2</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">3</xref>]), and for the treatment of irritability associated with autistic disorder in pediatric patients (aged 6–17 years) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR4">4</xref>]. In Europe, the use of aripiprazole is approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the treatment of schizophrenia in adolescents aged ≥15 years and for the treatment of moderate to severe manic episodes associated with a bipolar I disorder for up to 12 weeks in adolescents aged ≥13 years. The EMA does not recommend the use of aripiprazole in patients aged <13 years because of the increased risk of adverse events associated with the drug in younger patients [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR1">1</xref>].</p><p>Aripiprazole is an atypical antipsychotic. The efficacy of antipsychotics in general is thought to be mediated mainly by D<sub>2</sub> dopamine receptor antagonism in the mesolimbic brain region, targeting pathways that at least partly mediate psychosis, mania, tics, and aggression. In addition, atypical antipsychotics exert pharmacodynamic activity at other receptors. The efficacy, safety, and tolerability of each individual antipsychotic can ultimately be explained by its unique binding properties and their interactions with dopaminergic, noradrenergic, serotonergic, histaminergic, and cholinergic receptors. For example, dopaminergic pathways mediating motor movements, prolactin secretion, cognition, and motivation can be influenced, resulting in adverse effects such as extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS), increased prolactin levels, and neurolepsis (characterized by apathy, anhedonia, amotivation, and social withdrawal). Another example is the undesired blockade of histaminergic H<sub>1</sub> receptors, leading to weight gain [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">5</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">6</xref>].</p><p>The FDA recently sent a warning of new potential side effects: compulsive or uncontrollable urges to gamble, binge eat, shop, and have sex have been reported with the use of aripiprazole. These will be added to the drug labels and the patient medication guides as potential side effects for all aripiprazole products [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR79">79</xref>].</p><p>The incidence of side effects can vary substantially, depending on, for example, differences in antipsychotic dose. Age and development can also influence susceptibility to adverse effects. Children and adolescents treated with aripiprazole are more vulnerable than older patients to weight gain and other metabolic side effects [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">8</xref>]. In general, younger patients (aged <20 years) are also more likely to experience EPS [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR7">7</xref>].</p><p>EPS can manifest early or in the longer term after commencing antipsychotic treatment. Tardive dyskinesia is one of the late variants of EPS. Early EPS can be further divided into three categories: (acute) dystonia, (acute) akathisia, and parkinsonism (tremor, bradykinesia/hypokinesia, rigidity) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR7">7</xref>]. Dystonia usually manifests early in therapy [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">3</xref>], fluctuates with stress and relaxation [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref>], and is characterized by abnormal and sustained contractions of muscle groups in the head, neck, back, eyes, and limbs [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR10">10</xref>]. This may result in torticollis, cramps, and pain in the head, neck, and back; oculogyric crises; and potentially lethal respiratory stridor if pharyngeal or laryngeal musculature is affected. Parkinsonism also occurs early after administration of antipsychotic drugs. Akathisia may begin early in treatment, but the onset may also be delayed [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR11">11</xref>]. Akathisia is defined by the subjective feeling of restlessness, often accompanied by the urge to move and inability to sit still [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR10">10</xref>]. The symptoms more often affect the lower extremities and vary with stress and arousal [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref>]. Atypical antipsychotics seem to be an attractive alternative to typical antipsychotics because of the promise of fewer EPS for equal efficacy [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">5</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>]. Within the group of atypical antipsychotics, aripiprazole is considered to lead to relatively minimal metabolic side effects and prolactin increases [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">3</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR4">4</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">8</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR11">11</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">13</xref>]. The perceived favorable risk profile has led to an increase in the use of aripiprazole in youth for both official and off-label indications (anxiety, eating, personality disorders, Gilles de la Tourette syndrome, etc.) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR14">14</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR15">15</xref>].</p><p>However, some authors have questioned the assumed favorable EPS profile of atypical antipsychotics as a group relative to the typical antipsychotics (prototype: haloperidol) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">13</xref>]. Such reservations are relevant to children, adolescents, and adults. Given this, and the increased use of aripiprazole in pediatric patients, we wished to investigate the risk of children and adolescents developing (acute) EPS when treated with aripiprazole. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to assess the evidence for acute EPS associated with the use of the drug in this patient group.</p></sec><sec id="Sec2"><title>Methods</title><sec id="Sec3"><title>Search</title><p>We searched the English, French, and Dutch literature via PubMed and Embase from 2003 until 10 April 2016.

Depending on the description of the randomization method, double blinding, and the description of dropouts and withdrawals, an overall quality score ranging from 0 (weakest score) to 5 (strongest score) was assigned to the individual studies. We only included studies scoring ≥3 points in our analysis, as studies with this score are usually considered of adequate trial quality.</p><p>Although the use of scales to assess study quality is common and appealing because of their simplicity, some disadvantages need to be taken into account. The <italic>Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions</italic> alerts us to some of the risks inherent to the use of scales to assess quality. For example, “calculating a summary score inevitably involves assigning ‘weights’ to different items in the scale,” which makes it “difficult to justify the weights assigned” and scales “are less likely to be transparent to users of the review” [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR81">81</xref>]. Consequently, the authors express their preference for a detailed description (i.e., “how each trial was rated on each criterion”) of the quality assessment approach.</p><p>Several instruments have been developed to assess the methodological quality of non-randomized studies of interventions. Again, the <italic>Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions</italic> advises review authors to use these instruments with caution [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR81">81</xref>]. We were unable to find a tool appropriate for use with all the different designs in the non-randomized studies included in our meta-analysis. Therefore, we provide the reader with a description of quality items for each study (see the Electronic Supplementary Material [ESM]). Based on the work of Gearing et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR82">82</xref>] and Vassar and Holzmann [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR83">83</xref>], we identified six domains underpinning the methodological quality assessment of retrospective chart reviews: research question, sample, exclusion criteria, operationalization of the concept (EPS), data abstraction, and confidentiality issues, and/or ethical considerations. The methodological quality assessment of the other studies was based on the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale (the version for cohort studies) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR84">84</xref>] and the quality rating criteria mentioned by Forbes and Griffiths [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR85">85</xref>]. Finally, information regarding potential sources of support in the included studies is listed in the ESM.</p></sec><sec id="Sec6"><title>Data Extraction</title><p>We extracted the following information: study characteristics (year of publication, study design, study duration), study population characteristics (main diagnosis according to the <italic>Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders</italic>, <italic>fourth edition</italic>, <italic>text revision</italic> [DSM-IV-TR], sex, age), number of children and/or adolescents investigated, measuring methods used to assess the incidence of EPS, dose of aripiprazole, and the incidence of EPS and its manifestations. We contacted the authors of identified studies via e-mail to obtain unpublished data.</p></sec><sec id="Sec7"><title>Statistical Analysis</title><p>We performed a meta-analysis based on the available studies described above to obtain an optimal estimation of the incidence of EPS in children and adolescents treated with aripiprazole. The effect size used for the incidence of EPS was the proportion, but all analyses were performed, converting proportions into logits. Logits are preferred over proportions because the mean proportion across studies underestimates the size of the confidence interval (CI) around the mean proportion (due to the compression of the standard error as p approaches 0 or 1) and overestimates the degree of heterogeneity across effect sizes [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR16">16</xref>]. Lipsey and Wilson [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR16">16</xref>] note this is especially the case when the observed proportions are <0.2 or >0.80, as was the case in some of the included studies. The logit method circumvents these problems and is the preferred method. However, for ease of interpretation, we converted all final results back into proportions.</p><p>We used a Q-statistic to examine the homogeneity of the effect size distribution [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR17">17</xref>]. When we observed heterogeneity in effect sizes, we assessed the possible influence of moderator variables (age and sex of study population, aripiprazole dose, study duration, and tools used to detect EPS) and evaluated the suitability of either a fixed, random, or mixed model.</p><p>We included study duration as a categorical variable: short duration (≤12 weeks), medium duration (>13 and <26 weeks), and long duration (≥26 weeks).</p><p>We used measurement data to develop a binary variable (making use of history taking and clinical examination with or without conducting additional questionnaires). The included studies used a range of different questionnaires: the Simpson Angus Scale (SAS) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR18">18</xref>], the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR19">19</xref>], the Extrapyramidal Symptom Rating Scale (ESRS) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR20">20</xref>], the Barnes Akathisia Rating Scale (BARS) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR21">21</xref>], the Udvalg for Kliniske Undersøgelser side effect rating scale (UKU) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR22">22</xref>], the Treatment Emergent Symptoms Scale (TESS) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR78">78</xref>], and/or the Safety Monitoring Uniform Research Form (SMURF) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR23">23</xref>]. The AIMS is used to detect the presence of ‘tardive dyskinesia’, a rather late-appearing manifestation of EPS [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR10">10</xref>].</p><p>Furthermore, we conducted a subgroup analysis to compare the incidence of EPS and of several EPS manifestations (dystonia, akathisia, parkinsonism, tremor, and tardive dyskinesia) in the included placebo-controlled trials [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR24">24</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR31">31</xref>]. We chose to omit the study by Findling et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR74">74</xref>] from this subgroup analysis because no clear distinction in observed adverse events between the placebo group and the aripiprazole group could be made. The authors themselves acknowledged that “potentially a portion of the adverse events observed in the placebo arm may stem from residual exposure to aripiprazole in phase 1” [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR74">74</xref>].</p><p>We calculated effect sizes as the natural logarithm of the odds ratios (ORs) but converted the mean and CIs back into ORs to report the final results.</p><p>If we could not calculate an OR in some studies because certain frequencies were equal to zero, we added 0.5 to these ‘zero frequencies’ to facilitate a calculation of the OR.

Does the same apply to the extrapyramidal side effects? Some authors suggest a lower risk of EPS for certain atypical antipsychotics. Studies showed a lower risk of emerging EPS in patients treated with quetiapine or clozapine and a higher risk with ziprasidone, olanzapine, aripiprazole, and risperidone [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR4">4</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR11">11</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR38">38</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR39">39</xref>].</p><p>This study reveals that the incidence of EPS in children and adolescents treated with aripiprazole is not negligible. Our meta-analysis indicates a mean EPS incidence of 17.1 %. The summary of the European Public Assessment Report (EPAR) for Abilify® (aripiprazole) notes incidence figures in pediatric patients in line with our findings. These figures are based on individual studies [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR1">1</xref>].</p><p>Ching and Pringsheim [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR40">40</xref>] undertook a Cochrane review and also suggested a higher percentage of EPS in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders treated with aripiprazole than in those receiving placebo (risk ratio 1.8; 95 % CI 0.98–3.66; <italic>P</italic> = 0.06). It is possible that the result did not reach statistical significance because of a lack of power with only two included studies.</p><p>Children and adolescents seem to be as sensitive as adults to developing EPS when treated with aripiprazole. The Abilify<sup>®</sup> summary of product characteristics reports an EPS incidence of 18.2–26.6 % in adult patients with a manic episode of a bipolar I disorder and 14.8–25.8 % in adult patients with schizophrenia. These figures are also based on individual studies [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR1">1</xref>].</p><p>In contrast, some authors note a higher sensitivity in the pediatric population for the development of EPS under treatment with (atypical) antipsychotics [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>]. Differences in pharmacokinetics, in dopaminergic receptor density (which is inversely proportional to age), and pharmacodynamics have been suggested as possible explanations [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR38">38</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR41">41</xref>]. The EPAR summary [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR1">1</xref>] describes a higher risk of developing acute dystonia in younger age groups, particularly with aripiprazole. Our analysis did not reveal a significant effect of age on the various extrapyramidal side effects.</p><p>The meta-analysis by Cohen et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR4">4</xref>] revealed a significant increase in EPS in children and adolescents treated with atypical antipsychotics versus placebo, except for quetiapine, noting the following ORs: ziprasidone (20.56; 95 % credible interval [CrI] 3.53–68.94), olanzapine (OR 6.36; 95 % CrI 2.43–13.84), aripiprazole (OR 3.79; 95 % CrI 2.17–6.17), risperidone (OR 3.71; 95 % CrI 2.18–6.02), and quetiapine (OR 2.54; 95 % CrI 0.88–6.07). The analysis did not include clozapine.</p><p>These findings are in accordance with our data. We conducted a subgroup analysis of the included placebo-controlled trials to compare the incidence of EPS. Aripiprazole significantly increased the risk of EPS (OR 3.85; 95 % CI 2.37–6.28). Although aripiprazole is supposed to lead to relatively minimal metabolic side effects and prolactin increases [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">3</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR4">4</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">8</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR11">11</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">13</xref>], the risk of extrapyramidal side effects seems to be in line with that of other atypical antipsychotics (e.g., risperidone).</p><p>Kumar et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR42">42</xref>] reported on the efficacy and tolerability of atypical antipsychotics in adolescents with psychosis. Only one included study compared the incidence of (acute) EPS between patients treated with an atypical antipsychotic (risperidone) and those treated with a typical antipsychotic (perphenazine) (risk ratio 0.37; 95 % CI 0.20–0.68). Furthermore, only one study [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR43">43</xref>] in our analysis compared treatment with an atypical antipsychotic (aripiprazole) with treatment with a typical antipsychotic (haloperidol) (OR 0.343; 95 % CI 0.092–1.276).</p><p>In terms of the incidence of the various extrapyramidal side effects, we found no significant effects of the other moderator variables (sex, mean dose, study duration, and measuring method), despite (sporadic) suggestive findings in literature. For example, the EPAR summary [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR1">1</xref>] suggests that men have a higher risk of developing acute dystonia. Argyriou et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR44">44</xref>] and EMA [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR1">1</xref>] mention a positive dose–response relationship in children and adolescents: a higher dose of aripiprazole is supposed to increase the incidence of EPS. For this reason, the FDA [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR2">2</xref>] recommends a daily dose of 10 mg (with a maximum of 30 mg/day). In our analysis, the mean daily doses ranged between 3.3 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR45">45</xref>] and 24.52 mg [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR46">46</xref>]. We found no daily intakes of 30 mg, which possibly led to the lack of a potential dose–response relationship in our analysis. Moreover, most of the included trials used flexible dosing. Only a fixed- and multiple-dose study can address the issue of the dose relationship with outcome. Further research is recommended.</p><p>Since the Q-statistic did not reveal heterogeneity, we did not assess the possible influence of any moderator variable on the incidence of tardive dyskinesia. A possible explanation could be the small number of trials, which makes the Q-statistic unreliable.</p><p>Overall, the severity of EPS was described as mild to moderate, transient, and treatable (if necessary). EPS can be screened for in several ways, which is reflected in the non-uniform registration of EPS in the different study populations. One method of screening is assisted self-reporting by parents/children, or—preferably—a combination of both. When no input from the child is possible, the child’s guardian is surveyed; this only happened in exceptional situations. A second option to screen for EPS is by (hetero-)anamnesis. The researcher could explicitly ask for the occurrence of EPS in its various manifestations. A supplementary clinical neurological examination could be conducted. Particular attention should be given to the following: mental status, cranial nerves, motor examination, coordination and gait, and a general observation of the patient (e.g., “are abnormal movements noted?”) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR47">47</xref>]. Some structured questionnaires, such as the BARS [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR21">21</xref>] and the ESRS [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR20">20</xref>], consist of (hetero)-anamnesis and a clinical neurological examination combined. It is important to highlight that the SAS [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR18">18</xref>], the ESRS [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR20">20</xref>], the BARS [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR21">21</xref>], and the AIMS [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR19">19</xref>] have been neither validated nor developed specifically for pediatric use [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR47">47</xref>]. This is why Correll et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR38">38</xref>] suggest use of the SMURF [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR23">23</xref>], a standardized pediatric side-effect scale. Based on these questionnaires, researchers can screen for EPS in a structured way and may qualify and quantify the retrieved EPS whereby severity can be assessed.</p><sec id="Sec10"><title>Limitations</title><p>Most of the limitations are linked to the nature of the included studies. First, the definition of extrapyramidal side effects varies across studies. This could be because of the various screening methods used to detect EPS. In addition to (hetero)-anamnesis and clinical neurological examination, one or more structured questionnaires are often used. The SAS [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR18">18</xref>], the BARS [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR21">21</xref>], and the AIMS [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR19">19</xref>] are the most common, but other questionnaires and multiple combinations thereof are also used. More specifically, the symptom ‘tremor’ can be defined in different ways. Although tremor can be a symptom of medication-induced parkinsonism, a (fine) tremor can also arise when a subject tries to maintain a certain position (‘medication-induced postural tremor’, no manifestation of EPS) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR10">10</xref>]. With a few exceptions, this distinction was not described.</p><p>Second, many of the included studies allowed the use of concomitant medication (e.g., anticholinergics). Because of the inconsistent reporting, we were unable to assess the influence of this possible moderator variable. The same applies to the reporting of participant drug history (e.g., antipsychotic naïve or not), which may have affected our results.</p><p>Another limitation is that a well-defined length of exposure to aripiprazole was lacking, with many studies mentioning only study duration. The influence of this possible moderator variable could not be assessed.</p><p>Most of the included studies were short in duration. Therefore, we were unable to explore any possible long-term side effects, despite our concern about the impact this drug can exert on the developing brain as it targets the transmitter pathways in the central nervous system [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR38">38</xref>].</p><p>Next, the majority of included studies had small study populations, limiting their power. In fact, the overall lower quality of the included studies is an important limitation. Study design was very heterogeneous (retrospective vs. prospective, randomized vs. not, with or without a control group, placebo controlled vs. active comparator controlled, etc.), as was their internal validity. Head-to-head comparisons of the different antipsychotics were rare.</p><p>Finally, the methodology of our literature review and meta-analysis include some further inherent limitations. First, only on researcher performed both the selection of studies and the assessment of methodological quality. Second, a selection bias may have been introduced with the exclusion of studies. The possibility of publication bias must also be taken into account, because studies with a lower incidence of EPS were over-represented in our analysis. It is possible that the found mean incidence of EPS in children and adolescents treated with aripiprazole is underestimated.</p></sec></sec><sec id="Sec11"><title>Conclusion</title><p>In recent years, the use of aripiprazole in youth, for both official and off-label indications (anxiety, eating, personality disorders, Gilles de la Tourette syndrome, etc.) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR14">14</xref>], has increased because of the perceived favorable risk profile. However, the assumed favorable side-effect profile of atypical antipsychotics as a group relative to the typical antipsychotics has recently been questioned [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">13</xref>]. Our meta-analysis supports these recent concerns, as it reveals a mean EPS incidence in children and adolescents treated with aripiprazole of 17.1 % (95 % CI 0.128–0.223). This finding highlights the importance of further research in this field, especially considering the significance of how negatively EPS can impact patient quality of life (e.g., through stigmatization, stress and anxiety, and potentially life-threatening events, for example the emergence of laryngospasm) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">3</xref>]. Randomized, (double) blinded, placebo-controlled/multi-arm, head-to-head comparator studies with long-term follow-up and large study populations with subjects of both sexes are urgently needed. Furthermore, a more precise definition and operationalization of the concept of EPS and of its measurement is necessary. The research setting should mimic a clinical setting as closely as possible. This may lead to the identification of potential risk factors in specific subsets of pediatric patients with the aim of predicting and even preventing the onset of extrapyramidal side effects from treatment with atypical antipsychotics (including aripiprazole).</p><p>Each antipsychotic has a unique profile of (side) effects. Besides the risk of the onset of EPS, the risk of emerging metabolic side effects and hyperprolactinemia also plays an important role in the choice of therapy. Atypical antipsychotics should be prescribed with caution in children and adolescents. Hopefully, in the near future, our findings and further research will provide more individualized guidelines to assist clinicians, together with the patient and guardians, to make well-balanced treatment choices.</p><p>In addition, given the non-negligible incidence of EPS found in our analysis, clinicians are urged to undertake more targeted medication monitoring in clinical practice. For example, we recommend using the SMURF [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR23">23</xref>], a standardized pediatric side-effect scale.</p></sec><sec sec-type="supplementary-material"><title>Electronic supplementary material</title><sec id="Sec12"><p>Below is the link to the electronic supplementary material.
