Core Tip	Antipsychotic medication is widely prescribed to patients with dementia displaying neuropsychiatric symptoms. Treatment with olanzapine and risperidone was associated with an increased mortality risk. In comparison, quetiapine showed a relatively lower, non-significant association with the mortality risk in those with dementia. Clinicians need to be aware of the potential heterogeneous relationship between dementias, antipsychotic medication, and mortality when creating a psychopharmacological treatment plan for their patients.
