The association between paediatric traumatic brain injury (pTBI) and post-traumatic antidepressant medication usage remains an understudied subject.
A nationwide Finnish retrospective cohort study (1998-2018) included 71 969 pTBI patients and 64 856 orthopaedic references. Antidepressant medication data were sourced from the Finnish Social Insurance Institution. The primary outcome was post-traumatic paediatric antidepressant use.
The study included 136 825 patients. Kaplan-Meier analyses showed higher antidepressant use in pTBI patients, especially after 5 years and following surgery. The cumulative incidence rate (CIR) after 1 year was 0.73% (pTBI) versus 0.34% (references), increasing to 26.95% versus 25.51% after 20 years. Cox regression showed a higher long-term risk in pTBI patients (HR 1.31, up to 9 years). Operatively treated pTBI had an HR of 4.45 after 2 years. Among females, HR was 2.60 after 1 year, while in males, HR was 1.54.
The risk of antidepressant use following pTBI is notably higher after the first year, for both sexes and among patients who undergo operative treatment for pTBI. This elevated risk persists for 9 years but then declines.
小儿创伤性脑损伤（pTBI）与创伤后抗抑郁药物使用之间的关联仍是一个研究不足的课题。
一项芬兰全国性回顾性队列研究（1998 - 2018年）纳入了71969例pTBI患者和64856例骨科对照。抗抑郁药物数据来自芬兰社会保险机构。主要结局是创伤后小儿抗抑郁药物的使用情况。
该研究纳入了136825例患者。Kaplan - Meier分析显示，pTBI患者的抗抑郁药物使用率较高，尤其是在5年后和手术后。1年后的累积发病率（CIR）为0.73%（pTBI组）对0.34%（对照组），20年后增至26.95%对25.51%。Cox回归显示pTBI患者的长期风险较高（风险比[HR]为1.31，长达9年）。接受手术治疗的pTBI患者在2年后的HR为4.45。在女性中，1年后的HR为2.60，而在男性中，HR为1.54。
pTBI后使用抗抑郁药物的风险在第一年之后显著更高，无论男女以及接受pTBI手术治疗的患者均是如此。这种升高的风险持续9年，但随后下降。
