JAMA 294:1934-1943,1963, Schneider,L.S.,et al, 2005
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Atypical antipsychotic drugs may be associated with a small increased risk for death compared with placebo. This risk should be considered within the context of medical need for the drugs, efficacy evidence, medical comorbidity, and the efficacy and safety of alternatives. Individual patient analyses modeling survival and causes of death are needed.
