Comparative Safety Analysis of Oral Antipsychotics for In-Hospital Adverse Clinical Events in Older Adults After Major Surgery : A Nationwide Cohort Study.
Antipsychotics are commonly used to manage postoperative delirium. Recent studies reported that haloperidol use has declined, and atypical antipsychotic use has increased over time.. To compare the risk for in-hospital adverse events associated with oral haloperidol, olanzapine, quetiapine, and risperidone in older patients after major surgery.. Retrospective cohort study.. U.S. hospitals in the Premier Healthcare Database.. 17 115 patients aged 65 years and older without psychiatric disorders who were prescribed an oral antipsychotic drug after major surgery from 2009 to 2018.. Haloperidol (≤4 mg on the day of initiation), olanzapine (≤10 mg), quetiapine (≤150 mg), and risperidone (≤4 mg).. The risk ratios (RRs) for in-hospital death, cardiac arrhythmia events, pneumonia, and stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) were estimated after propensity score overlap weighting.. The weighted population had a mean age of 79.6 years, was 60.5% female, and had in-hospital death of 3.1%. Among the 4 antipsychotics, quetiapine was the most prescribed (53.0% of total exposure). There was no statistically significant difference in the risk for in-hospital death among patients treated with haloperidol (3.7%, reference group), olanzapine (2.8%; RR, 0.74 [95% CI, 0.42 to 1.27]), quetiapine (2.6%; RR, 0.70 [CI, 0.47 to 1.04]), and risperidone (3.3%; RR, 0.90 [CI, 0.53 to 1.41]). The risk for nonfatal clinical events ranged from 2.0% to 2.6% for a cardiac arrhythmia event, 4.2% to 4.6% for pneumonia, and 0.6% to 1.2% for stroke or TIA, with no statistically significant differences by treatment group.. Residual confounding by delirium severity; lack of untreated group; restriction to oral low-to-moderate dose treatment.. These results suggest that atypical antipsychotics and haloperidol have similar rates of in-hospital adverse clinical events in older patients with postoperative delirium who receive an oral low-to-moderate dose antipsychotic drug..

Comparison of incidence rates of cerebrovascular accidents and transient ischaemic attacks in observational cohort studies of patients prescribed risperidone, quetiapine or olanzapine in general practice in England including patients with dementia.
Following changes in the safety information on the use of risperidone and olanzapine in elderly patients with dementia, data from prescription-event monitoring (PEM) studies of risperidone, quetiapine and olanzapine were examined. The aim was to compare incidence rates for events reported as cerebrovascular accident (CVA) and transient ischaemic attack (TIA) during the first 180 days of treatment in patients prescribed atypical antipsychotics for dementia or other indications, because of the possible association between dementia and stroke in users of atypical antipsychotics. A retrospective analysis of data from the three observational studies was conducted using Poisson regression modelling and survival analysis. Within the risperidone, quetiapine and olanzapine cohorts, 23 (0.30%), 6 (0.35%) and 10 (0.11%) patients respectively, were reported to have had a CVA/TIA event. Age, sex and indication (dementia or other) were identified as important confounding variables; age being the most important. The crude rate ratios (RRs) for CVA/TIA for risperidone or quetiapine vs. olanzapine indicated an approximate threefold relative difference in rate during the first six months but after adjustment for age, sex and indication, the RRs were non-significant (1.2 (95% CI 0.5,3.0) and 2.1 (95% CI 0.6,7.7), respectively). For risperidone vs. quetiapine, crude and adjusted RRs were not significantly different. Of the three drugs, the time to event was shortest for risperidone and also shortest for risperidone or quetiapine users where the indication was dementia. The age and sex adjusted RR of CVA/TIA in patients prescribed risperidone for dementia vs. other indications was 6.7 (95% CI 2.4,18.9). The adjusted RRs for quetiapine, according to indication, could not be calculated due to missing information on age and sex. There were no cases of CVA/TIA with dementia for olanzapine, thus the RRs and time to event curves according to indication could not be examined. This study revealed no significant difference in the adjusted RR of CVA/TIA events in the first 180 days of treatment in patients prescribed risperidone or quetiapine when compared with olanzapine. However, dementia appears to be an important risk factor. These results should be considered alongside other pharmacoepidemiological studies on this topic.

Cerebrovascular events among elderly nursing home patients treated with conventional or atypical antipsychotics.
Concern exists about a possible increased risk of cerebrovascular events (CVEs) among elderly patients receiving risperidone or olanzapine. We estimated the effect of atypical and conventional antipsychotics on the risk of CVEs among elderly nursing home patients with dementia.. We conducted a case-control study on residents of nursing homes in 6 U.S. states by using the Systematic Assessment of Geriatric drug use via Epidemiology database, which includes data from the Minimum Data Set linked to Medicare inpatient claims. Participants were diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia on the basis of clinical criteria and medical history (including medical records and neuroradiologic documentation). Cases included patients hospitalized for stroke or transient ischemic attack between June 30, 1998, and December 27, 1999. For each case, we identified up to 5 controls hospitalized for septicemia or urinary tract infection residing in the same facility during the same time period. The sample consisted of 1130 cases and 3658 controls.. After controlling for potential confounders, the odds ratio of being hospitalized for CVEs was 0.87 (95% CI = 0.67 to 1.12) for risperidone users, 1.32 (95% CI = 0.83 to 2.11) for olanzapine users, 1.57 (95% CI = 0.65 to 3.82) for users of other atypical agents, and 1.24 (95% CI = 0.95 to 1.63) for conventional antipsychotic users compared to nonusers of antipsychotics. A history of CVEs appeared to modify the effect of atypical antipsychotics other than risperidone on the risk of new events.. Overall, no increased risk of CVEs seems to be conferred by atypical or conventional antipsychotics. Preexisting cerebrovascular risk factors might interact with some atypical antipsychotics to increase the risk of events. These results should be interpreted in light of the limitations of the study and need to be confirmed.
