Comparison: Crude hazard ratio of Vortioxetine Tablets to SSRIs for intracranial hemorrhage was reported. Crude hazard ratio of Vortioxetine Tablet Treatment group relative to the control group (SSRI Treatment group) was calculated by the rate of Vortioxetine Tablet Treatment group divided by the rate of SSRI Treatment group.95% CI: [0.1, 2]
Comparison: Adjusted hazard ratio of Vortioxetine Tablets to SSRIs for intracranial hemorrhage was reported. Adjusted hazard ratio of Vortioxetine Tablet Treatment group relative to the control group (SSRI Treatment group) was calculated by the rate of Vortioxetine Tablet Treatment group divided by the rate of SSRI Treatment group.95% CI: [0.1, 1.9]
