^a The positive predictive value (PPV) of the DKA case definition was calculated with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for binomial proportions using Wilson's formula.
^b The cohort consisted of recent initiators of antipsychotics or control medications (mood stabilizers, ADHD drugs, antidepressants, benzodiazepines) who filled a qualifying prescription for a study drug, had no fill more than 90 days prior to the qualifying prescription, and had at ≥ 365 prior consecutive days with no filled prescription.
^c The underlying cohort consisted of children and youth (aged 6-24 years).
