• Huybrechts KF. et al. assessed the risk of
mortality associated with the use of individual antipsychotic drugs in elderly residents in nursing homes.
– 75,445 new users; 2001-2005; ≥ 65 y/o; 180 days.
• haloperidol users had an increased risk of mortality.
• Quetiapine users had a decreased risk of mortality.
• Transdermal absorption delayed, especially

• Renal elimination typically declines with age.

– Conclusion – typical antipsychotics associated
with increased risk of hospitalizations.

• Chatterjee S. et al. evaluated the risk of falls
and fractures associated with the use of risperidone, olanzapine and quetiapine.
– 12, 145; ≥ 50y/o; 2000 – 2008; data from IMS
• Gill SS. et al. – compared the incidence of
admissions to the hospital for stroke in older adults receiving atypical and typical antipsychotics (AP).
– N = 32,710 patients with dementia (17,845 had
been dispensed an atypical AP and 14,865 had been dispensed a typical AP; ≥ 65 y/o; Canadians.
• Jalbert JJ. et al. – study to quantify the
association between AP use and the risk of diabetes onset among NH residents with dementia.
– N = 29,203 long stay Medicaid residents in CA, FL,
Il, NY and Ohio; 1/2001 – 12/2002; ≥ 65 y/o.
– Conclusions – typical AP were associated with an
increase risk of developing diabetes. Atypical AP were not associated with an increase in risk of developing diabetes.
