Psychiatric medications and the risk of autoimmune and immune-mediated inflammatory diseases: A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies.

Background: Pharmacovigilance reports have suggested that certain commonly used medications may trigger autoimmune diseases (ADs) and immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs). We systematically reviewed the literature to evaluate whether psychiatric medication use is associated with ADs and IMIDs.

Methods: The protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022296524) before the start of the study.
