Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; NF, neuroleptics-free cases; NT, neuroleptics-taken cases; OR, odds ratio.

a

Odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) and P-values were calculated from multivariate logistic regression analysis with adjustment for age, sex and BMI (Bonferroni correction P-value <4.8 × 10−4).

b

Tukey's HSD test was applied to test concentration difference between the two groups. P-value <0.05 are shown in bold.

c

No significant neuroleptics influence (that is no significant difference in NT versus NF, but difference in NF versus controls).

d

Potential neuroleptics influence (that is, significant difference in NT versus NF; however, no difference in NF versus controls).
