Factors associated with changes in hospitalisation in patients prescribed clozapine

Conclusion:
Clozapine reduces the number of inpatient days, regardless of the chronicity of the illness at the time clozapine was started. Continued compliance with clozapine is necessary to maintain this benefit. Reduction in bed days is greater in younger patients, suggesting early initiation of clozapine may be beneficial.
