Clinician hesitation prior to clozapine initiation: is it justifiable?

Maxine X Patel. Br J Psychiatry. 2012 Dec.

Abstract

Clozapine has been endorsed by national clinical guidelines for 10 years and yet underutilisation and delay to initiation remain rife. Although there will be good clinical reasons for clozapine not being initiated for some patients, it is hypothesised here that for others, clinicians' attitudes and preferences are the most likely predictive factors.
