Laxatives should be prophylactically prescribed with clozapine, but this is inconsistently achieved. Digital clinical decision support (CDS) alerts can promote safer prescribing.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S2056472425000018_as5\">\n\t    <jats:title>Aims<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>To evaluate whether a CDS alert could promote timely laxative use with clozapine in hospital.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S2056472425000018_as2\">\n\t    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>Retrospective in-patient prescribing data was used to compare co-prescribing of laxatives for first clozapine prescriptions pre-alert (January 2017\u2013September 2019) and post-alert (September 2019\u2013December 2023) implementation across 1194 hospital admissions where clozapine was prescribed. Regular non-bulking laxative and any laxative co-prescribing for first clozapine prescriptions within 24 h were assessed. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to determine the impact of alert implementation on laxative co-prescribing.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S2056472425000018_as3\">\n\t    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>Of the 1194 admissions included, 449 admissions had clozapine prescribed pre-alert implementation and 745 admissions had post-alert implementation. Regular non-bulking laxative co-prescription occurred for 67.0% of first clozapine prescriptions pre-alert and 76.1% post-alert (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001). Any laxative co-prescription occurred for 87.3% of first clozapine prescriptions pre-alert and 96.5% post-alert (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001). Alert implementation was associated with increased likelihoods of regular non-bulking laxative co-prescribing (odds ratio, 1.341; 95% CI, 1.021\u20131.756; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.035) and any laxative co-prescribing (odds ratio, 3.487; 95% CI, 2.135\u20135.838; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001) for first clozapine prescriptions within 24 h.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S2056472425000018_as4\">\n\t    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>CDS alert implementation was associated with increased and earlier laxative co-prescribing for clozapine.
