Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Many recommendations, protocols describe the indications for starting medication, but only some of them indicate when they should be discontinued. An analysis of publications indicates a deficit of research in this area, especially in psychiatry. As part of this review, we tried to provide information that provides valuable information about this procedure, about the experience of other countries. Based on a literature review, it was found that in some countries there is already consensus on how to identify a patient who may be reevaluated, recommendations and algorithms have been developed for this procedure with minimal risk to the patient.
