This pilot study highlights the problems of benzodiazepine (BDP) usage in patients attending a rheumatology clinic. Of 127 consecutive patients attending the rheumatology clinic a total of 29% (37) had been taking night sedation for mean duration of 4.1 years. The majority of BDP users (92%) were women. In 78% night sedation was taken for insomnia associated with night pain. We recommend that if BDP is to be prescribed it should be only in selected cases for a short time.
这项试点研究凸显了在一家风湿病诊所就诊的患者中使用苯二氮䓬类药物（BDP）的问题。在连续就诊于该风湿病诊所的127名患者中，共有29%（37名）患者一直在服用夜间镇静药物，平均服用时长为4.1年。大多数BDP使用者（92%）为女性。78%的患者服用夜间镇静药物是用于治疗与夜间疼痛相关的失眠。我们建议，如果要开具BDP处方，应仅在特定情况下短期使用。
