This study delineates a number of Medicaid youth with tobacco use disorder (TUD), prescribing habits for treatment, and associated externalizing disorders.
Youth Medicaid claims from 2007-2017 processed in a large Midwestern city were analyzed for a diagnosis of TUD, related pharmacotherapy, and externalizing mental health and substance use disorders.
Claims connected 6541 patients with 42 890 visits. Mean age was 16.4 with 40% female. 1232 of the 6541 charts contained a TUD diagnosis equating to 1848 visits. A comorbid diagnosis of ADHD, cannabis use, and conduct disorder were more common in males (3.9% vs 1.3% in females; 3.4% vs .8%; and 2.8% vs .8%; < .05). 808 scripts were provided to 152 of the 1232 youths, with 4.7% of those scripts a nicotine replacement product.
Pharmacotherapy is underutilized in this Medicaid claims data set. Certain externalizing factors were associated with males with TUD more than females.
本研究描述了一些患有烟草使用障碍(TUD)的医疗补助计划青年、治疗的处方习惯以及相关的外化障碍。
分析了在中西部一个大城市处理的2007 - 2017年青年医疗补助索赔数据,以诊断TUD、相关药物治疗以及外化心理健康和物质使用障碍。
索赔涉及6541名患者的42890次就诊。平均年龄为16.4岁,40%为女性。6541份病历中有1232份包含TUD诊断,相当于1848次就诊。注意缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)、大麻使用和品行障碍的共病诊断在男性中更为常见(男性为3.9%,女性为1.3%;3.4%对0.8%;2.8%对0.8%;P < 0.05)。向1232名青年中的152人提供了808份处方,其中4.7%的处方是尼古丁替代产品。
在这个医疗补助索赔数据集中,药物治疗未得到充分利用。某些外化因素与患有TUD的男性的关联比女性更大。
