title: Tardive dyskinesia and pregnancy and delivery complications.
abstract: Twelve children and adolescents with movements suggestive of tardive dyskinesia (TD) were compared to 49 non-TD patients while receiving neuroleptic treatment. A multiple regression analysis revealed the diagnosis of TD to be significantly associated with a history of pregnancy and delivery complications (PDCs), suggesting that these events may increase the risk of the development of treatment emergent TD.
