IMPORTANCE Acute respiratory failure (ARF) is a life-threatening event that has been linked in case reports to antipsychotic use, but this association lacks population-based evidence. Particular attention should be focused on patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) regarding this drug safety concern because these patients are prone to ARF and are commonly treated with antipsychotics.OBJECTIVE To determine whether the use of antipsychotics is associated with an increased risk of ARF in patients with COPD.DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A population-based case-crossover study analyzing the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database was conducted of all patients with COPD, who were newly diagnosed with ARF in hospital or emergency care settings necessitating intubation or mechanical ventilation from January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2011. Patients with prior ARF, lung cancer, and cardiogenic, traumatic, or septic ARF were excluded to analyze idiopathic ARF. The pilot study was conducted from November 1 to December 31, 2013, and full data analysis was performed from October 15, 2015, to November 8, 2016.EXPOSURES The use of antipsychotics was self-compared during days 1 to 14 (the risk period according to previous case reports) and days 75 to 88 (control period) preceding the ARF event or index date. The antipsychotic class, route of administration, and dose were also examined.MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Risk of ARF.RESULTS There were 5032 patients with ARF (mean [SD] age, 74.4 [9.9] years; 3533 males [70.2%]) among the 61 620 patients with COPD. Five hundred ninety patients with ARF (11.7%) filled at least 1 antipsychotic prescription during the case period compared with 443 (8.8%) during the control period, corresponding to a 1.66-fold (95% CI, 1.34-2.05; P
