Medication decisions and clinical outcomes in the Canadian National Outcomes Measurement Study in Schizophrenia.

CONCLUSION: There were some regional differences noted in both utilization of types of antipsychotic medications and hospitalization rates. In this sample of stable out-patients over 70% who started on monotherapy with clozapine, risperidone, olanzapine and quetiapine remained on the same medication over the 2-year study period.
