Indeed, current research in the general population describes the deleterious effect of OCs on cognitive performance in adulthood. With this rationale, we aim to review the relationship between OCs and cognition in SZ and related psychotic disorders.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291722002409_sec_a2\" sec-type=\"methods\"><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A systematic review and meta-analysis describing cognitive function and OCs in patients with SZ and related disorders were conducted. PubMed, EmBase, SCOPUS, and the Cochrane Library were systematically searched to identify eligible studies up to January 2022. We calculated the effect sizes (Hedges' g) of cognitive domains within each study and quantified the proportion of between-study variability using the <jats:italic>I<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> statistic. Homogeneity was assessed using the <jats:italic>Q<\/jats:italic>-statistic (<jats:italic>X<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>).
