Erratum to: Torniainen M, Mittendorfer-Rutz E, Tanskanen A, Björkenstam C, Suvisaari J, Alexanderson K, Tiihonen J. Antipsychotic treatment and mortality in schizophrenia. Schizophr Bull. 2015;41(3):656–663.
In Table 1, total figures of Females, High education level, Previous inpatient care due to psychosis and Receiving disability pension in 2005, as well as some of the percentages were incorrect. The correct figures are below in bold. In addition, in Table 3, the number of deaths among males with Moderate antipsychotic exposure should be 344 (instead of 433). The authors regret that the following errors occurred, yet the main findings of the study remain the same.
