This work analyzed the impact of COVID-19 on antidepressant consumption during the first year of the pandemic (2020) taking as a baseline the prescribing trends during the previous 4 years (2016-2019). For this, the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and the 4 islands that make it up were taken as a geographical area.
Sales data in community pharmacies were taken as an aggregated database. The dose per inhabitant and day was used as an indicator of consumption.
In the islands of EL Hierro and La Gomera, the increase in population does not in itself justify the relevant increases observed in the consumption of antidepressants and possibly COVID-19 and its consequences on the health of the population could be responsible for these increases. On the island of Tenerife, the increase in population could justify, to a large extent, the slight increase in consumption observed. The island of La Palma presents an increase of 1.40%, but lower than the expected value taking as baseline the prescribing trends in the last 4 years, despite an increase in population of 0,95%. All the islands present the same trends in the consumption of the different subgroups of antidepressants and active pharmaceutical ingredients, although with slight variations, with the exception of the island of La Palma which presents a statistically different behavior and trends.
These differences could be related to the socio-sanitary and demographic characteristics of each of the islands.
这项研究分析了新冠疫情第一年（2020年）期间新冠疫情对抗抑郁药物消费的影响，并将前四年（2016 - 2019年）的处方趋势作为基线。为此，以特内里费圣克鲁斯省及其所属的4个岛屿作为地理区域。
将社区药房的销售数据作为汇总数据库。人均每日剂量用作消费指标。
在耶罗岛和戈梅拉岛，人口增长本身并不能解释抗抑郁药物消费的显著增加，新冠疫情及其对民众健康的影响可能是导致这些增加的原因。在特内里费岛，人口增长在很大程度上可以解释所观察到的消费略有增加。拉帕尔马岛的消费增长了1.40%，但低于以过去4年的处方趋势为基线的预期值，尽管人口增长了0.95%。所有岛屿在不同亚组抗抑郁药物和活性药物成分的消费上呈现相同趋势，尽管略有差异，但拉帕尔马岛表现出统计学上不同的行为和趋势。
这些差异可能与每个岛屿的社会卫生和人口特征有关。
