PROSA: Prolactin, Sex Hormones, Growth and Metabolic Biomarkers in Children and Adolescents on Antipsychotics (PROSA)

July 24, 2023 updated by: Ulla Schierup Nielsen

The objectives of this study are:

  1. To determine the prevalence and degree of hyperprolactinemia in children and adolescents aged 7-18 years receiving antipsychotic medications
  2. To determine the associations between serum-prolactin and sex hormones / metabolic biomarkers/ clinical symptoms in this population. If clinically relevant associations are found: To determine a potentially existing "no harm" serum-prolactin threshold
  3. To determine associations between previous cumulative prolactin-exposure and current pubertal development / growth
