To determine the prescribing pattern of depot neuroleptics and the clinical characteristics of patients attending depot clinic.
A case series of chronic psychotics attending the depot clinic in the day care center at King Abdulaziz University Hospital in Riyadh, over 10 years. Data was obtained from hospital records, patients interview and contact with patients' relatives and social workers.
The total number of patients was 69 (55% were males). The majority were single schizophrenics between 25 and 45 years. Fifty-one percent of patients lost contact with the service. The Chlorpromazine equivalent depot dose was 188.5 mg/day.
Patients clinical characteristics were not significant predictors of use or non-compliance with depot neuroleptics. Losing contact with service was very high. Regular internal audits are required.
确定长效抗精神病药物的处方模式以及在长效门诊就诊患者的临床特征。
对利雅得阿卜杜勒阿齐兹国王大学医院日间护理中心长效门诊的慢性精神病患者进行了为期10年的病例系列研究。数据来自医院记录、患者访谈以及与患者亲属和社会工作者的联系。
患者总数为69人(55%为男性)。大多数是年龄在25至45岁之间的单身精神分裂症患者。51%的患者与服务机构失去了联系。氯丙嗪等效长效剂量为188.5毫克/天。
患者的临床特征并非使用或不依从长效抗精神病药物的显著预测因素。与服务机构失去联系的比例非常高。需要定期进行内部审计。
