Popis: The goal of this 21-year naturalistic study of clozapine-treated patients was to examine the cardiovascular risk factors following clozapine initiation and resultant mortality estimates from cardiovascular disease. Data were collected from January 1992 to February 2012 medical records from clozapine-treated patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. Demographics, clozapine dosage and laboratory results were extracted at 12-month intervals. At clozapine initiation, the mean age of the 96 patients was 36.4 years±7.6 years; n=27 (28%) were women. The mean duration of clozapine use was 13 years. The Kaplan-Meier estimate for 21-year cardiovascular events was 29%, while the Kaplan-Meier estimate for 21-year mortality from cardiovascular disease was 10%. The mean cardiovascular risk increased during the first ten years (p
