Introduction
Treatment resistance and inadequate response to antipsychotic (AP) medication are significant clinical problems.Treatment resistant patients represent 20-30 % of people with schizophrenia.
IntroductionPatients are comonly trated with clozapineAtypical Antipsychotic Monotherapies at therapeutic doses have been suggested to be the best pharmacological treatmant of schizophrenia.In spite of recommendations, these patients often have added on polypharmacy with several APs. This augmentation has been questioned in several studies.
introductionFrom the results of four randomized con-trolled trials (RCTs), Paton et al. 6 suggested that augmentation of clozapine with another AP cannot be recommended but it is worth of a long enough clinical trial.After reviewing 19 RCTs, Correll et al.7 suggested that antipsychotic co-treatment may be superior to monotherapy in certain clinical situations. However, it was not possible to derive firm clinical recommendations from these results
Introduction
AIMThe aim of the present study was to determine if clozapine monotherapy is as effective as clozapine-olanzapine therapy for treatment resistant schizophrenia in a randomized double-blind setting.
MATERIALS AND METHODSPATIENTS
In 2009, 30 schizophrenic patients in the Niuvanniemi State Mental Hospital received clozapine-olanzapine therapy for severe psychotic symptoms after only partially responding to clozapine alone.

Ethical considerationsEvery pastien in this study signed the informed consent.

Results
Conclusions
The clinical state of seriously ill schizophrenic patients who were on olanzapine-clozapine therapy was not affected by discontinuation of olanzapine. The natural fluctuating course of schizophrenia is often represented by worsening of psychotic symptoms which may lead to longlasting and unnecessary AP polypharmacy
KAJIAN KRITIS KEDOKTERAN BERBASIS BUKTI
APAKAH BUKTI TENTANG PROGNOSIS INI PENTING ?Seberapa besar kemungkinan kesudahan ini terjadi untuk jangka waktu yang lebih panjang ? Peneliti tidak menjelaskan tentang kemungkinan jangka panjangnya.Seberapa persisi estimasi prognosis ? Tidak dijelaskan detail---- PENELITIAN INI PERLU DI TINJAU ULANG
Apakah hasil ini dapat kita terapkan ?Apakah kondisi dalam penelitian ini mirip (serupa) dengan kondisi kita ? YAApakah bukti ini akan mempunyai pengaruh yang penting secara klinis terhadap kesimpulan kita tentang apa yang perlu dilakukan ? Ya dapat di gunakan dalam kombinasi pengobatan------------------- DAPAT DI TERAPKAN
