Premature mortality among adults with schizophrenia in the United States.
The objective of the study was to describe overall and cause-specific mortality rates and standardized mortality ratios for adults with schizophrenia compared with the US general population. In a US national cohort of adults with schizophrenia, excess deaths from cardiovascular and respiratory diseases implicate modifiable cardiovascular risk factors, including especially tobacco use.

Lithium treatment and risk for dementia in adults with bipolar disorder: population-based cohort study.
This study examined the association of lithium and dementia risk in a large claims-based US cohort of publicly insured older adults with bipolar disorder. It found that compared with non-use, 301–365 days of lithium exposure was associated with significantly reduced dementia risk. No corresponding association was observed for shorter lithium exposures.
