The Effect of Antipsychotic Treatment on Recurrent Venous Thromboembolic Disease: A Cohort Study.

CONCLUSIONS: The use of antipsychotic agents among patients with a first episode of VTE and full-dose anticoagulation was not associated with an increased risk of recurrent thromboembolic events. However, antipsychotic treatment was associated with a higher risk of both VTE and all-cause mortality. Further studies are warranted to confirm these findings. PMID: 31509358 [PubMed - in process]
