Exposure to antipsychotic medications over a 4-year period among children who initiated antipsychotic treatment before their sixth birthday
Original language description
Purpose This study aims the following: (i) to describe the exposure to antipsychotic medications over a 4-year period experienced by a cohort of children who initiated antipsychotic treatment before their sixth birthday; and (ii) to identify variables associated with the risk of antipsychotic exposure. Methods Children were identified who initiated an index episode of antipsychotic treatment before their sixth birthday in Florida's fee for service Medicaid program. With the use of claims data, the medication utilization of these children was tracked during the year before and the 4 years following the start of their index episodes (pre-index and four post-index periods). Generalized estimating equations were used to identify variables associated with the risk of additional days of antipsychotic exposure. Results Five hundred twenty-eight children were included in the cohort. The mean total number of days of exposure was 821.9 (+/- 431.9), representing 56.3% of all days during the four
