ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this multicenter Spanish study was to evaluate the response to immediate-release methylphenidate by children and adults diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), as well as to obtain information on current therapy patterns and safety characteristics. METHODS: This multicenter, observational, retrospective, noninterventional study included 730 patients aged 4-65 years with a diagnosis of ADHD. Information was obtained based on a review of medical records for the years 2002-2006 in sequential order. RESULTS: The ADHD predominantly inattentive subtype affected 29.7% of patients, ADHD predominantly hyperactive-impulsive was found in 5.2%, and the combined subtype in 65.1%. Overall, a significant lower Clinical Global Impression (CGI) score and mean number of DSM-IV TR (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fourth Edition, Text Revision) symptoms by subtype were found after one year of treatment with immediate-release methylphenidate; CGI decreased from 4.51 to 1.69, symptoms of inattention from 7.90 to 4.34, symptoms of hyperactivity from 6.73 to 3.39, and combined subtype symptoms from 14.62 to 7.7. Satisfaction with immediate-release methylphenidate after one year was evaluated as "very satisfied" or "satisfied" by 86.90% of the sample; 25.75% of all patients reported at least one adverse effect. At the end of the study, 41.47% of all the patients treated with immediate-release methylphenidate were still receiving it, with a mean time of 3.80 years on therapy. CONCLUSION: Good efficacy and safety results were found for immediate-release methylphenidate in patients with ADHD.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: evaluar la eficacia de una intervención educativa sobre hábitos de estilo de vida para reducir el índice de masa corporal en adolescentes. Pacientes y métodos: ensayo clínico de un año de seguimiento realizado en 48 centros de Atención Primaria de Cataluña. Participaron 174 adolescentes entre 10 y 14 años con sobrepeso u obesidad; 87 aleatorizados al grupo intervención y 87 al grupo control. La intervención fue de carácter educativo (hábitos alimentarios y de ejercicio físico) y se realizó en la visita inicial, y a los 1, 3, 6, 9 y 12 meses de seguimiento. Variables de resultados: cambios en hábitos alimentarios y ejercicio físico, cambios en el índice de masa corporal (IMC) y en el perímetro abdominal. Resultados: edad media 11,81 años (desviación estándar [DE]: 1,21) y 50% mujeres. Completaron el seguimiento 125 participantes (71,8%). Los Z-scores de IMC disminuyeron en ambos grupos (p < 0,001), de un valor medio inicial de 2,35 (DE: 0,46) a 2,06 (DE: 0,60). Los Z-scores de perímetro abdominal se redujeron en ambos grupos: en el grupo intervención de una media de 2,06 a 1,77, y en el grupo control de 2,06 a 1,82 (p < 0,001). La intervención educativa mejoró los hábitos alimentarios (aumento ingesta de fruta, disminución de dulces y de la ingesta de alimentos cuando se está aburrido). La actividad física disminuyó (p = 0,002). Conclusiones: la intervención educativa fue efectiva para reducir el IMC y el perímetro abdominal en ambos grupos. Hubo mejoría en los hábitos alimentarios, pero no en la práctica de ejercicio (AU)
