Fig. 2.
Effect of duration of antipsychotic (upper) or clozapine (lower) treatment on immunoglobulin (Ig)G levels.
A significant negative correlation of duration of clozapine use (years) was observed with an annual reduction in IgG levels of 0.15 g/L (P = 0.03). No correlation was seen with serum IgG level and non-clozapine antipsychotic medications (P = 0.14) despite a longer duration on therapy. Straight lines show predicted IgG at different durations of treatment (in years), based on fitted linear models. Shaded regions display pointwise 95% confidence intervals.
