Incidence and trend of cardiac events among children and young adults exposed to psychopharmacological treatment (2006–2018): A nationwide register‐based study
The mean annual incidence of cardiac events among young patients receiving psychopharmacological treatment was low, 0.99%, with an upward trend of 4.26% annually. Incidence was highest in adolescent females and patients exposed to polypharmacy. Our study highlights the need for more knowledge regarding the possible association between exposure to psychopharmacological treatment and cardiac events.
