Data were collected from a nationwide claims database in South Korea. Patients prescribed bupropion were matched 1:1 with those prescribed aripiprazole. Subgroup analyses were performed according to age. An as-treated analysis was performed as the primary analysis, and an intention-to-treat analysis was performed to identify different risk windows. The primary outcome was depression-related hospitalization, and the secondary outcomes were first-time diagnoses of movement disorder and seizure.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S0924933824018157_sec3\" sec-type=\"results\">\n\t    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>A total of 5,619 patients (bupropion: <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a01,568; aripiprazole: <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a04,051) were included in this study.
