Likelihood of mental-health related hospitalizations and emergency department visits after drug initiation. Odds ratios compare patients starting paliperidone palmitate to patients starting oral second-generation antipsychotics. Adjusted models adjust for: cohort (paliperidone palmitate or oral SGA), patient demographics (age, sex, race), schizophrenia, baseline mental health and cardiometabolic co-morbidities, baseline psychotropic drug use, health care utilization (case management, outpatient visits), antipsychotic medication adherence, and frequency of mental-health hospitalizations or mental-health ED visits in the baseline period.
