We estimated the 12\u2010month cumulative incidence of discontinuation (defined as no new dispensing during the treatment episode of the prior dispensing plus a 180\u2010day grace period) and the proportion of patients restarting therapy within 180\u2009days after discontinuation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>We identified 162\u2009518 chronic users: benzodiazepines (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200969\u2009511), PPIs (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200943\u2009973), antidepressants (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200941\u2009577), statins (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200936\u2009085), cholinesterase inhibitors (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20096408), bisphosphonates (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20095801) and antipsychotics (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20094380).
