Table 5.
RRs for the association between AP use categories (representing the continued drug use (implementation) and early discontinuation of medication use) during the first 3 months, and rehospitalization during follow up.
| Time | AP use category | N total (%) | N rehospitalized | N not rehospitalized | RR crude (95% CI) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ⩽3 months | Total | 338 (100) | 204 | 134 | |
| Continuers with a high taking compliance | 225 (66.6) | 141 | 84 | Reference | |
| Continuers with low taking compliance | 70 (20.7) | 40 | 30 | 1.12 (0.83–1.69) | |
| Discontinuers with high taking compliance | 28 (8.3) | 13 | 15 | 0.99 (0.56–1.75) | |
| Discontinuers with low taking compliance | 15 (4.4) | 10 | 5 | 0.98 (0.52–1.87) |
AP, antipsychotic; CI, confidence interval; RR, relative risk.
