Determine rates and demographic, clinical, and functional correlates of antidepressants (ADs) in home healthcare patients.
Year 2007 cross-sectional National Home Health and Hospice Care Survey (N = 3,226) of patients 65 years or older (mean 80.11, confidence interval [CI] = 79.65-80.57).
Overall 33.50% used ADs. Among the 6.76% with depression, 70.84% used ADs compared with 29.15% who used ADs without a documented depression diagnosis. In a regression, controlling for depression, blacks used less ADs than whites (odds ratio [OR] = 0.41, CI = 0.24-0.70). Younger age (OR = 0.96, CI = 0.94-0.98), activities of daily living impairments (OR = 1.15, CI = 1.05-1.26), benzodiazepines (OR = 2.63, CI = 1.88-3.69), antipsychotics (OR = 2.08, CI = 1.29-3.36), and nonpsychotropics (OR = 1.07, CI = 1.04-1.10) were related to AD use.
Among home healthcare patients, more than one-third took ADs including patients without depression. Blacks used fewer ADs than whites. Increased use was associated with younger age, disability, and nonpsychotropics.
确定家庭保健患者中抗抑郁药(ADs)的使用率以及人口统计学、临床和功能相关性。
2007 年对 65 岁及以上患者(平均年龄 80.11,置信区间 [CI] = 79.65-80.57)进行的全国家庭保健和临终关怀调查(N = 3226)的年度横断面研究。
总体而言,有 33.50%的患者使用 ADs。在有抑郁症状的 6.76%的患者中,70.84%的患者使用 ADs,而有抑郁症状但未确诊的患者中,使用 ADs 的比例为 29.15%。在控制抑郁症状的回归分析中,黑人使用 ADs 的比例低于白人(比值比 [OR] = 0.41,CI = 0.24-0.70)。年龄较小(OR = 0.96,CI = 0.94-0.98)、日常生活活动受损(OR = 1.15,CI = 1.05-1.26)、苯二氮䓬类药物(OR = 2.63,CI = 1.88-3.69)、抗精神病药物(OR = 2.08,CI = 1.29-3.36)和非精神药物(OR = 1.07,CI = 1.04-1.10)与 ADs 的使用相关。
在家庭保健患者中,超过三分之一的患者服用 ADs,包括没有抑郁症状的患者。黑人使用 ADs 的比例低于白人。年龄较小、残疾和使用非精神药物与 ADs 的使用增加相关。
