    Author: Chacko RC, Root L, Marmion J, Molinari V, Adams GL.
    Journal: J Clin Psychiatry; 1985 Feb; 46(2):55-7. PubMed ID: 2857168.
    Abstract:
    The prevalence of tardive dyskinesia was studied in a geropsychiatric outpatient clinic. All currently active patients were examined using the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) and a standardized procedure. Data were collected on a number of previously reported risk factors. A higher prevalence was noted in both tardive dyskinesia and spontaneous involuntary movement disorders in this patient population. Only sex and duration of exposure to antipsychotic drugs were noted to be significant risk factors.
