Figure 2

Risk of rehospitalizations and ER visits using Cox proportional hazard models with recurrent events (Andersen-Gill method): atypical LATs relative to oral APs. AP, antipsychotic; ER, emergency room; LAT, long-acting therapy. Notes: 1. At least one diagnosis of mental disorders (ICD-9 codes: 290-319) during rehospitalization or ER visit. 2. At least one diagnosis of schizophrenia (ICD-9 codes: 295) during rehospitalization or ER visit. 3. The vertical bars represent the 95% CIs. A HR <1 indicates that patients receiving atypical LATs were associated with lower rehospitalization and ER visit rates than patients treated with oral APs. 4. ER visits resulting in rehospitalizations were counted as one event.
