ABSTRACT

OBJETIVOS. Estimar la prevalencia de ansiedad y depresión en los pacientes usuarios de anticoagulantes orales (ACO), analizar los psicofármacos utilizados y las patologías crónicas concomitantes. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS. Estudio transversal en Atención Primaria sobre todos los pacientes con ACO de nuestro centro. Se recogieron datos sociodemográficos, motivo de anticoagulación, INR, psicofármacos utilizados y enfermedades crónicas según el registro de la historia clínica informatizada. Para reconocer la presencia de ansiedad y/o depresión en los pacientes sin diagnóstico previo se utilizó la Escala de Ansiedad y Depresión de Goldberg (EADG). RESULTADOS. Ciento sesenta y seis pacientes con ACO, entre los cuales había un 53,6% de hombres. La edad media fue de 67 ± 14 años y el tiempo medio de anticoagulación: 4,2 ± 3,9 años. El motivo de anticoagulación más frecuente fue fibrilación auricular en un 59,6%; el 66,9% estuvo dentro del rango terapéutico. La prevalencia estimada de ansiedad fue del 41% y la de depresión del 63,6%. La prevalencia estimada de ansiedad es significativamente mayor en mujeres que en hombres (54,5% frente a 29,2%; p = 0,001). El 18,7% de los pacientes consumía benzodiacepinas y el 11,4% antidepresivos. CONCLUSIONES. La prevalencia estimada de ansiedad y depresión entre los pacientes usuarios de ACO es elevada y superior a la descrita en la población general; la prevalencia de ansiedad es mayor en mujeres. Parece existir un infradiagnóstico de ambas patologías en la población que se estudia. Resulta llamativo el escaso uso que se hace de benzodiacepinas y antidepresivos en comparación con tan altas prevalencias de ansiedad y depresión


AIM. To estimate the prevalence of anxiety and depression in patients who take oral anticoagulants to analyze psychodrugs use and concomitant chronic diseases. METHODS. Cross-Sectional study in Primary Health Care on all patients taking oral anticoagulants in our centre. Sociodemographic data, reason for anticoagulation medication, INR, psychodrugs used and chronic diseases according to patients' computerized medical history were collected. The Goldberg's Scale for Anxiety and Depression (EADG) was used in order to discover the prevalence of anxiety and/or depression in patients with no previous diagnosis. RESULTS. A study was made of 166 patients taking oral anticoagulant drugs: Men: 53.6%. Average age: 67 ± 14 years old. Average time they had been taking anticoagulant drugs: 4.2 ± 3.9 years. Most frequent reason for anticoagulation treatment: atrial fibrillation (59.6%). A total of 66.9% of the patients were within the therapeutic range. Estimated prevalence for anxiety was 41%, and for depression 63.6%. The estimated prevalence for anxiety is significantly greater in women (54.5% vs 29.2%, p=0.001). A total of 18.7% of patients were taking benzodiazepines and 11.4%, antidepressants. CONCLUSIONS. Estimated prevalence for anxiety and depression in patients taking oral anticoagulants is high and greater than that found in the global population. Prevalence for anxiety is higher in women. Both illnesses seem to be underdiagnosed in the kind of population we are studying. Attention is drawn to the limited use of benzodiazepines and antidepressants compared to such high prevalences of depression and anxiety

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To adapt to Spanish culture and language a questionnaire developed to evaluate the quality of life of patients taking oral anticoagulation treatment (OAT) and to measure its validity. DESIGN: A descriptive observation study to validate an instrument to measure health-related quality of life. SETTING: Primary and specialist care. PARTICIPANTS: 225 patients, all the patients at our centre who were on OAT and a consecutive sample of patients on OAT from the referral hospital's haemotology service. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: Direct translation, back-translation, and pilot study. Factor analysis and item-dimension grouping, internal consistency analysis and analysis of the item-total correlation of the definitive version of the questionnaire in Spanish. RESULTS: Mean age was 65 (SD=13 years); 51% were women; 45.8% were monitored in PC. Validity study: factor analysis extracted 5 factors that explained 41.62% of total variance value and obtained a grouping different from the original; Cronbach's alpha was .82 overall and ran from .56 to .74 in the various dimensions; and item-total correlation analysis had statistically significant values, except for question 29. CONCLUSIONS: After adaptation to Spanish culture and language of a questionnaire developed to evaluate the quality of life of patients taking OAT, it was found to be a useful instrument, valid for use in our milieu.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo. Adaptar a la cultura y el idioma españoles un cuestionario desarrollado para evaluar la calidad de vida de los pacientes con tratamiento anticoagulante oral (TAO) y medir su validez. Diseño. Estudio observacional, descriptivo, de validación de un instrumento de medida de calidad de vida relacionada con la salud. Emplazamiento. Atención primaria y atención especializada. Participantes. Un total de 225 pacientes que incluía a todos los pacientes de nuestro centro que utilizan TAO y una muestra consecutiva de pacientes con TAO del servicio de hematología del hospital de referencia. Mediciones principales. Traducción directa, traducción inversa y prueba de validez. Análisis factorial y agrupación por dimensiones de los ítems, análisis de la consistencia interna y análisis de correlación ítem-total de la versión definitiva del cuestionario en español. Resultados. La edad media de los pacientes fue de 65 ñ 13 años, el 51,1 por ciento era mujer y el 45,8 por ciento era controlado en atención primaria. En el estudio de validez se realizó un análisis factorial con la extracción de 5 factores que explican el 41,62 por ciento del valor total de la varianza y la obtención de una agrupación diferente de la original, con un valor de alfa de Cronbach global de 0,82 y de 0,56-0,74 en las diferentes dimensiones y análisis de correlación ítem-total con valores estadísticamente significativos, excepto en la pregunta número 29.Conclusiones. Tras realizar la adaptación a la cultura y el idioma españoles de un cuestionario desarrollado para evaluar la calidad de vida de los pacientes con TAO, se ha obtenido un instrumento útil y válido para nuestro entorno (AU)

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To describe, quantify and analyse the phenomenon of a change of doctor. DESIGN: An observational, descriptive and retrospective study. SETTING: The Torrero-Este Health Centre in the urban periphery of Zaragoza, attending a population of 20,433 people. PATIENTS: 268 people of both sexes, between 16 and 87 years old and users of the Health Centre, who requested a change of doctor between 1990 and 1995. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: The study's variables were taken from the patients' clinical records; and each patient was interviewed to analyse the situation before and after the change. After excluding 50 for various reasons, there were 218 patients left. The patient profile was: women 61.7%, active population 57.8%, and under 60 years old 78%. Those who attended most often and put forward problems with their doctor as the reason for changing their doctor, nevertheless continued being the most frequent attenders after the change. There were differences (p < 0.05) in personal treatment and attendance between doctors who "donated" patients and doctors who "received" them, and also in the reason for the change and the number of consultations. CONCLUSIONS: In the context of the quality of services provided, we thought that changes in doctor expressed some kind of uneasy. This study had the double benefit of being an indicator of quality of care and of enabling the centre's health professionals to know what the flow of patients between the different clinics was, which may help to improve the model of clinical interview.
