    Abstract: Background: Leukotriene-receptor antagonists (LTRA) are a class of remedies commonlyused for treating patients with asthma and/or allergic rhinitis. However, the evidence aboutthe association between LTRA use and neuropsychiatric adverse events from observationalstudies has been inconclusive. Most results are based on pediatric populations, little is knownin relation to potential neuropsychiatric adverse events among adults, especially Asianpopulations. Method: We used medical claims data derived from the entire National Health InsuranceResearch Database in Taiwan to identify study patients during 2008 and 2018. Exposure wasdefined as patients having at least 1 dispensed prescription for LTRA after asthma diagnosisduring study period. Inverse probability of treatment weighting using propensity score wasapplied to control for the systematic differences at baseline between LTRA users and non-users. Main outcomes are primary diagnoses of neuropsychiatric adverse events (psychoticdisorder, mood disorder, anxiety disorder, sleep-related disorder, cognitive disorder,movement disorder, and personality disorder) during the subsequent 12 months afterinitiation. Cox proportional hazards models with covariate adjustment were performed todetermine the associations between LTRA exposure and neuropsychiatric adverse events. Results: A total of 1,010,556 patients with asthma (222,075 LTRA users and 788,481 non-users) was identified in the study cohort. The results suggest positive significant associationsof LTRA exposure with psychotic disorder and movement disorder among study patients(adjusted hazard ratio (AHR) = 1.59; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.07-2.36 for psychoticdisorder and AHR = 1.34; 95% CI: 1.01-1.77 for movement disorder). Conclusion: This study suggests that LTRA use is associated with increased risk ofneuropsychiatric adverse events, specifically psychotic disorder and movement disorder,during the subsequent 12 months after LTRA initiation. Our findings suggest that cliniciansadministering LTRA to patients with asthma should monitor potential neuropsychiatricadverse events during LTRA treatment.
