Association of Antipsychotic Drugs with the Risk of Recurrent Venous Thromboembolism: A Retrospective Study of Data from a Japanese Inpatient Database.

In patients with a history of venous thromboembolism, particular attention should be paid to recurrence in younger patients. If antipsychotic drugs are prescribed for > 14 days to patients with a history of venous thromboembolism, they should be administered carefully, guided by reported findings. Further evaluations using different databases or populations are required to generalize the findings of this study.
