Psychotropic medication use and risks of kidney injury and fall-related events: a propensity score–matched cohort study

Psychotropic medication use was associated with modest but significantly higher long-term risks of kidney injury and fall-related events in a large real-world cohort, even after accounting for underlying psychiatric and neurologic conditions. These findings support the need for integrated renal monitoring and injury-prevention strategies in patients receiving long-term psychotropic therapy.

Abstract

Psychotropic medication use was associated with modest but significantly higher long-term risks of kidney injury and fall-related events in a large real-world cohort, even after accounting for underlying psychiatric and neurologic conditions. These findings support the need for integrated renal monitoring and injury-prevention strategies in patients receiving long-term psychotropic therapy.
