Risk of First Onset Stroke in SSRI-Exposed Adult Subjects: Survival Analysis and Examination of Age and Time Effects.

The underlying mechanisms of stroke may be related to cerebral microbleeding or an overcorrection of hemostasis function. PMID: 28994901 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Trends and factors associated with antipsychotic use among elderly patients with dementia in Taiwan from 2005 to 2013: a population-based study
This study aimed to examine the trends and factors associated with antipsychotic prescriptions for elderly outpatients with dementia in Taiwan from 2005 to 2013.
