Relative risk (RR) incl. 95% confidence interval for ADRs (all imputations) of (A) different psychotropic drug classes and (B) in a selection* of different individual psychotropic drugs in older vs. younger patients. RR > 1 implies a higher ADR-risk for older patients compared to younger patients; RR < 1 implies a lower ADR-risk for older patients compared to younger patients. *selection is of psychotropic drugs for which we detected a significant relative risk. PD psychotropic drug; ADD antidepressant drug; SSRI selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor; SNRI selective serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor; TCA tricyclic antidepressant; NaSSA noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressant; APD antipsychotic drug; FGA “first-generation” antipsychotic drug; lp low potency; hp high potency; SGA “second-generation” antipsychotic drug; HYPD hypnotic drug; TRD tranquilizing drug; AED antiepileptic drug; AParkD antiparkinson drug
