Abstract
An analysis of longitudinal data with up to 25 years of follow-up has identified five disease categories for which clozapine use was associated with higher risk of adverse drug events. The Finnish study found higher-than-expected prevalence of ileus and pneumonia in patients receiving clozapine, with both illnesses associated with greater mortality.
