Comparative effectiveness of injectable paliperidone palmitate versus oral atypical antipsychotics: early postmarketing evidence.
The researchers compared the likelihood of hospitalization and emergency department visits in Medicaid patients from the state of Missouri starting paliperidone palmitate versus oral atypical (also known as second-generation) antipsychotics. They found that paliperidone palmitate treatment resulted in a statistically significant 37 percent reduction in the adjusted likelihood of an all-cause emergency department visit. There was no statistically significant reduction in hospitalization.

Timing of emergency department visits for childhood asthma after initial inhaled corticosteroid use.
This study measured the incidence and timing of emergency department (ED) visits in the first 90 days after an initial inhaled corticosteroid prescription (ICS-Rx). It found that one in 5 children with asthma had at least 1 ED visit in the first 90 days after initial ICS-Rx; 10 percent of these visits occurred within the first 48 hours, and 25 percent occurred within the first week.
