ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate post-discharge use of antipsychotics in patients with incident hospital-acquired delirium and the associated risk of mortality.METHODS:
We conducted a nested case-control study for patients newly diagnosed with hospital-acquired delirium and subsequently discharged from hospital using Taiwan's National Health Insurance Database (NHID) from 2011 to 2018.RESULTS:
The use of antipsychotics after discharge did not increase the risk of mortality (adjusted OR 1·03; 95% CI 0·98-1·09).CONCLUSIONS:
The findings suggested that using antipsychotics after discharge in patients with hospital-acquired delirium may not increase the risk of mortality.Palavras-chave
