RESUMO

Introducción. El objetivo principal de este estudio es evaluar las diferencias específicas de género en el perfil clínico de pacientes depresivos tratados en atención primaria, así como en la respuesta y remisión clínica a venlafaxina retard. Métodos. Se ha analizado una muestra de 6.719 pacientes ambulatorios adultos (1.713 hombres y 4.925 mujeres)con diagnóstico de síndrome depresivo con síntomas asociados de ansiedad incluidos en un estudio observacional, abierto, prospectivo y multicéntrico. Se administró venlafaxina de liberación retardada durante 24 semanas a dosis de 75-225 mg/día. Resultados. No se han encontrado en este estudio diferencias globales en cuanto a la gravedad basal del episodio depresivo, según las evaluaciones de la HAM-D17 y escala de Impresión Clínica Global de Severidad (ICG-S). No obstante, las mujeres presentaron puntuaciones más altas en ítems de las escalas HAM-D17 y HAM-A relacionados con quejas somáticas y de ansiedad en las visitas basal y final. El porcentaje de remisión en la escala HAM-D17 fue del 75,4 % en hombres y 74,3 % en mujeres (p= 0,4339) en la semana 24. En el caso de la HAM-A fue 84,1 frente a 80,6% (hombres frente a mujeres, p=0,004).Conclusiones. No se observaron diferencias basales en la puntuación media de la HAM-D17 ni en las tasas de remisión entre hombres y mujeres (HAM-D17) en la visita final. Las mujeres presentaron tasas de remisión de ansiedad más bajas (HAM-A) y conservaron más quejas somáticas y de ansiedad a lo largo del estudio (AU)


Introduction. The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate gender-specific differences in the clinical profile of primary care depressive patients as well as in the clinical response and remission to venlafaxine extended release. Methods. We have analyzed a sample of 6,719 adult outpatients (1,713 men and 4,925 women) with diagnosis of depressive syndrome with associated anxiety symptoms included in an observational, prospective, multicenter and open study. Venlafaxine extended release was administered for 24 weeks at a dosage of 75-225 mg/day. Results. In this study, we have not found overall differences regarding the baseline severity of the depressive episode, as assessed by means of the HAM-D17 and Clinical Global Impression Scale of Severity (CGI-S). However, women showed higher scores on items of the HAMD17 and HAM-A scales related with anxious and somatic complaints at baseline and endpoint. The percentage of remission on the HAM-D17 scale reached 75.4 % for men and 74.3 % for women (p = 0.4339) at week 24. In the case of HAM-A: 84.1 % vs. 80.6 % (men vs. women, p=0.004).Conclusions. We did not observe baseline differences in the mean score of the HAM-D17 nor the remission rates between women and men (HAM-D17) at the final visit. Women showed lower anxiety remission rates (HAM-A) and maintained more anxious and somatic complaints throughout the study (AU)

RESUMO

Objetivo. Establecer un consenso español sobre la adherencia terapéutica en la esquizofrenia. Material y métodos. Un comité de expertos diseñó un cuestionario específico de 40 preguntas con 293 opciones. Las preguntas se referían a: definición y valoración general de la adherencia en la esquizofrenia; factores implicados; estrategias de intervención en pacientes ambulatorios y en unidades de agudos y manejo de fármacos antipsicóticos orales e inyectables de larga duración y otras terapias no farmacológicas. Se asignaron valores de estrategia de elección, primera, segunda o tercera línea, según las respuestas obtenidas para cada ítem. Se envió el cuestionario a 383 psiquiatras de un Grupo de Trabajo sobre Adherencia Terapéutica. Se recibieron 326 respuestas a través de un sistema electrónico que garantizaba su confidencialidad. Resultados y conclusiones. Existe máximo acuerdo en considerar la gravedad del problema de la adherencia, su repercusión en las recaídas, la evolución del paciente y el aumento de costes sanitarios. Las estrategias preferidas para evaluar la adherencia son: el registro de la administración de inyectables y la determinación de concentraciones plasmáticas. El Consenso considera que es preciso intervenir de manera específica cuando el paciente ha sufrido ya varias recaídas a causa del bajo cumplimiento terapéutico, se detecta una nula conciencia de enfermedad o existe una comorbilidad con consumo de tóxicos. La psicoeducación es la estrategia no farmacológica con un mayor grado de consenso en caso de necesidad de intervención. Tratamientos con fármacos antipsicóticos atípicos inyectables de larga duración obtienen el mayor grado de acuerdo como estrategia farmacológica de primera elección en diversas situaciones clínicas para evitar o mejorar la baja adherencia terapéutica


Objective. Establish a Spanish Consensus on Therapeutic Compliance in Schizophrenia. Material and methods. An experts committee designed a specific questionnaire having 40 questions and 293 options. The questions referred to the definition and general assessment of compliance in schizophrenia, factors involved, intervention strategies in outpatients and in acute units and management of oral and long duration injectable antipsychotic drugs and other non-pharmacological therapies. First, second or third line strategy values of choice were assigned according to the answers obtained for each item. The questionnaire was sent to 383 psychiatrists of a Therapeutic Compliance Work Group. A total of 326 answers were received with an electronic system that guaranteed their confidentiality. Results and conclusions. There is maximum agreement on considering the seriousness of the compliance problem, its repercussion in relapses, the patient's course and increase in health care costs. The strategies preferred to evaluate compliance are: counting of the injectable drug administration and determination of plasma concentrations. The Consensus considers that specific intervention is necessary when the patient has already suffered several relapses due to low therapeutic compliance, when null awareness of disease is detected or if there is comorbidity with toxic consumption. Psychoeducational is the non-pharmacological strategy having the greatest consensus grade if intervention is needed. Treatments with atypical injectable, long acting, antipsychotic drugs obtain the best grade in accordance with pharmacological strategies of first choice, in different clinical situations to avoid or improve therapeutic adherence

RESUMO

Introducción. Habitualmente los pacientes con enfermedades mentales presentan grandes dificultades a la hora de seguir las prescripciones médicas, pero también poseen el mejor potencial para beneficiarse de la adherencia. Debido a la falta de introspección propia de la esquizofrenia, la adherencia al tratamiento resulta especialmente importante. El trabajo analiza y compara la opinión respecto a la adherencia y el cumplimiento de una amplia muestra de psiquiatras, enfermos diagnosticados de esquizofrenia y sus familiares. Método. Encuesta directa y anónima diseñada específicamente para este proyecto, administrada a psiquiatras, enfermos y familiares de toda España a través de distintas asociaciones de enfermos y familiares legalmente constituidas en todo el territorio español. El análisis de los datos se llevó a cabo de forma separada para las variables correspondientes a los tres grupos. Resultados. Los psiquiatras (n = 844) consideran que el 56,8% de sus pacientes evaluados (n=7.439) fueron incumplidores en el último mes, en contraposición al 43,2% de estos pacientes que se consideran buenos cumplidores (n=3.215 pacientes). El 95% de los pacientes (n=938) afirmaron haber seguido la medicación regularmente, mientras que el 5% contestó negativamente a esta cuestión. El 82% de los familiares (n=796) piensan que los pacientes toman regularmente su medicación, aunque el 47% indica que a veces la olvidan. Conclusiones. La adherencia al tratamiento debería ser evaluada en ensayos clínicos, así como en las investigaciones de tratamiento de enfermedades, particularmente las enfermedades mentales crónicas como la esquizofrenia. Parece evidente que sólo los programas dirigidos a la detección y resolución de problemas relacionados con la adherencia al tratamiento serán capaces de mejorar el pronóstico a medio y largo plazo de los pacientes con esquizofrenia


Introduction. Patients with psychiatric illness typically have great difficulty following a medication regimen, but they also have the greatest potential for benefiting from adherence. Due to the lack of insight in schizophrenia, adherence to treatment is especially important. We try to analyze and compare the opinion on adherence and compliance of psychiatrists, patients with schizophrenia and relatives. Method. A direct, anonymous survey specifically designed for the project was administered to psychiatrists, patients and relatives from all over Spain through different associations of patients and family legally constituted in Spain. Analysis was done separately for variables corresponding to the three groups. Results. The psychiatrists (n = 844) considered that 56.8 % of their evaluated patients (n = 7.439) were noncompliers in the past month, as opposed to 43.2% of these patients who were considered good compliers (3,215 patients). Ninety-five percent of the patients (n = 938) stated that they took their medication regularly, while 5 % answered no to this question. Eighty-two percent of relatives (n = 796) think that patients regularly take their medication, but 47% state that they sometimes forget to take it. Conclusions. Treatment adherence should be evaluated in clinical trials and in research on treatment of diseases, particularly in chronic mental diseases such as schizophrenia. It seems clear that only programs aimed at detection and resolution of the problems involved in treatment adherence will be able to improve the mid- and long-term prognosis of patients with schizophrenic disorders

RESUMO

Introducción. A pesar de tratarse de una enfermedad con una gran repercusión sanitaria, social y familiar, en España se dispone de escasa información epidemiológica sobre los pacientes con esquizofrenia, su diagnóstico y tratamiento. El estudio ACEE (Abordaje Clínico de la Esquizofrenia en España) se ha diseñado con el objetivo principal de conocer en la práctica clínica habitual el manejo de la esquizofrenia en España.Método. El ACEE es un estudio observacional, descriptivo, transversal, multicéntrico, con datos recogidos en el curso de la práctica clínica habitual mediante un cuestionario diseñado específicamente.Resultados. Se han analizado un total de 1.937 pacientes (83% del sector público y 17% del privado). La mayoría presenta una esquizofrenia paranoide en fase de estabilización y no trabaja debido a su enfermedad. El 96% está sometido a tratamiento con antipsicóticos y un 55 % recibe además algún tipo de terapia no farmacológica. Se presentan con mayor frecuencia síntomas negativos que positivos (88 frente a 63%). Existen diferencias significativas entre el tipo de pacientes y el procedimiento de diagnóstico entre el sector público y el privado.Conclusiones. El ACEE muestra que el perfil del paciente atendido por esquizofrenia en las consultas psiquiátricas españolas es mayoritariamente varón, soltero, viviendo sin trabajo en un entorno familiar, tratado básicamente con fármacos antipsicóticos combinados con otras medicaciones y al que se practica un reducido número de exploraciones complementarias


Introduction. Although schizophrenia has a great impact on the health care, social and family levels, there is little epidemiological information on patients with schizophrenia, its diagnosis and treatment in Spain. The ACEE (Abordaje Clínico de la Esquizofrenia en España; Clinical Approach to Schizophrenia in Spain) study was designed with the primary objective of defining the management of schizophrenia in Spain from the perspective of current clinical practice. Method. ACEE is a descriptive cross-sectional multicenter observational study with data collected in the setting of current clinical practice by means of a specifically designed questionnaire. Results. A total of 1,937 patients have been studied (83% pertaining to the public sector and 17% to private one). Most subjects had paranoid schizophrenia in the stabilization phase, and did not work because of their illness. Most (96%) were receiving antipsychotic treatment and 55% also received some non-drug treatment. Negative symptoms were more frequent than positive symptoms (88% versus 63%). Significant differences were observed for type of patients and diagnostic procedures involved between the public and private health care sectors. Conclusions. The ACEE study shows that schizophrenic patients attending Spanish psychiatric centers are mainly single, non-working males who are living in their family setting. Treatment basically consists of antipsychotics combined with other drugs, and few complementary examinations are performed

RESUMO

Introducción. Con este estudio se pretende evaluar el efecto a largo plazo de venlafaxina retard sobre la respuesta y remisión en pacientes con síndrome depresivo y síntomas de ansiedad asociados atendidos en atención primaria. Métodos. Estudio abierto, observacional, naturalístico y prospectivo. Como criterios de inclusión se consideraron: edad superior 18 años, diagnóstico de síndrome depresivo con síntomas de ansiedad y puntuaciones mínimas de 17 y 10 en las escalas de Hamilton de Depresión (HAM-D17) y de Ansiedad (HAM-A), respectivamente. Venlafaxina retard se administró a dosis diarias de 75-225 mg/día durante 24 semanas. La efectividad sobre la sintomatología depresivo-ansiosa se evaluó mediante las escalas HAM-D17 y HAM-A. Resultados. Los 6.719 pacientes fueron evaluables (intención de tratar) para efectividad y seguridad. Venlafaxina retard se asoció a reducciones significativas en las puntuaciones de las escalas HAM-D17 y HAM-A, así como a incrementos significativos en las tasas de respuesta y remisión. En la semana 24 los porcentajes de remisión fueron: 74,62 % (HAM-D17 ≤ 7), 81,55 % (HAM-A ≤ 7) y 72,63 % (HAM-D17 ≤ 7/HAM-A ≤ 7). El 81,8 % de los pacientes completaron las 24 semanas de tratamiento. El 6,4 % de los pacientes presentaron efectos adversos, de intensidad «leve o moderada» en el 94,9% de los casos. Conclusiones. Venlafaxina retard resulta en este estudio un fármaco efectivo y seguro en el tratamiento de la sintomatología depresivoansiosa de pacientes con síndrome depresivo tratados en atención primaria tanto si se analizan tasas de respuesta como de remisión. Sería interesante comparar los datos de venlafaxina retard en esta población con otros fármacos antidepresivos como los ISRS


Introduction. The aim of this observational study was to evaluate the long term effect of treatment with venlafaxine extended release on response and remission in patients with depressive syndrome and associated anxiety symptoms, in primary health care. Methods. Observational, naturalistic and prospective, open-label study. Inclusion criteria were as follows: age over 18 years, diagnosis of depressive syndrome with anxiety symptoms and minimum scores of 17 and 10 on Hamilton Depression Rating (HAM-D17) and Anxiety Rating (HAM-A) scales, respectively. Daily doses of 75-150 mg of venlafaxine extended release were administered for 24 weeks. Effectiveness on the depressive-anxious symptoms was assessed using the HAM-D17 and HAM-A scales. Response and remission criteria were considered. Results. 6,719 patients were evaluable for effectiveness and safety - intention to treat population. Venlafaxine extended release treatment was associated with significant decreases in the scores in the HAM-D17 and HAM-A scales, as well as with significant increases in response and remission rates. At week 24, remission rates were: 74.62% (HAM-D17≤7), 81.55% (HAM-A≤7) and 72.63% (HAM-D17 ≤7/HAM-A≤ 7). 81.8 % of patients completed 24 weeks of treatment. 6.4% of patients reported adverse events, of mild-moderate intensity in 94.9% of cases. Conclusion. In this study, venlafaxine extended release shows that it is an effective and safe drug in the treatment of the depressive-anxious symptoms of patients with depressive syndrome treated in primary care, both in remission and response rates. It would be of interest to compare data of venlafaxine extended release with that of other antidepressive drugs, such as SSRI

RESUMO

Many epidemiological studies have analyzed suicidal ideation in clinical samples, but only a few have been performed in the general population. We present the results of a two-stage epidemiological study in the general population on the island of Formentera (Balearic Islands, Spain), which used the 28-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) in the first stage (n = 697) and the Schedules for Clinical Assessment in Neuropsychiatry (SCAN) in the second (n = 242). We also recorded medical illnesses diagnosed in the subjects at the second stage. Four items on the GHQ-28 ask directly about suicidal thoughts or ideation. From the sample, 6.5% have reported suicidal ideation. Mental disorders are the most important factor associated with suicidal ideation; medical illnesses seem to play a secondary role.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: A total of 215 schyzophrenic patients according to DSM-IV criteria in treatment on risperidone were included in an open label postmarketing surveillance 18 months study to evaluate safety and effectivity of the drug in preventing relapses. METHODS: The Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale, Global Functional Assessment Scale and the Clinical Global Impression were used to assess. Safety was evaluated by the UKU subscale for neurological side effects. RESULTS: A 82.1% of the patients continued risperidone medication without relapse during the 18 month period. Risperidone was used at a mean dosage of 5.69 2.41 mg/d. DISCUSSION: Patients improved psychotic symptoms and global activity, and significant reductions were observed in mean total UKU subscale for neurological side effect score. 91.7% of the patients did not report any adverse event; only 2 (1.2%) patients dropt out because of intolerance.

RESUMO

Introducción: En un estudio abierto, observacional, de 18 meses de duración, 215 pacientes diagnosticados de esquizofrenia (DSM-IV), fueron tratados con risperidona con el objeto de evaluar la seguridad y efectividad del fármaco en la prevención de las recaídas. Material y métodos: La efectividad de la risperidona se evaluó mediante el tiempo transcurrido hasta la recaída e instrumentos de medida como la Escala Breve de Valoración Psiquiátrica, la Escala de Evaluación de la Actividad Global e Impresión Clínica Global. La seguridad se valoró mediante la subescala UKU para efectos adversos de tipo neurológico. Resultados: El 82,1 por ciento de los pacientes permanecieron en tratamiento con risperidona durante los 18 meses del estudio sin presentar recaídas. La dosis media de risperidona utilizada fue de 5,69 ñ 2,41 mg/d. Discusión: El tratamiento con risperidona mejoró significativamente la sintomatología psicótica y la actividad global de los pacientes; también se detectaron disminuciones estadísticamente significativas en la puntuación media total de la subescala UKU. El 91,7 por ciento de los pacientes no comunicó ningún efecto adverso; únicamente dos (1,2 por ciento) abandonaron el estudio de forma prematura por intolerancia (AU)

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: This study focuses on the comorbidity between medical and psychiatric illnesses in a sample taken from the general population. METHODS: We design a two-stage epidemiological community study in the island of Formentera (Spain), using the Schedules for Clinical Assessment in Neuropsychiatry (SCAN). In the first stage, the sample (N=697) was screened using the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28). In the second stage, the SCAN, subjects' clinical histories and General Practitioners' diagnosis were used to evaluate psychiatric disorders and medical illnesses. The final sample comprised 242 subjects. RESULTS: Subjects with diagnosed ICD-10 mental disorders presented higher comorbidity with medical pathologies than the group of respondents without psychiatric diagnosis, although the differences were not statistically significant. Of the psychiatric conditions, mood disorders (in which differences were significant) and neurotic disorders were the ones that most frequently presented comorbidity, followed by sleep disorders. Mean scores on the GHQ-28 used at the screening stage, and mean scores on neurotic, depressive and somatic symptoms on the SCAN, were significantly higher in the comorbid group. Comorbidity was more frequent in females. CONCLUSION: More studies on comorbidity in general population are required, with diagnostic instruments that cover the whole of the psychiatric spectrum and correct assessment systems for medical diagnosis.

RESUMO

Quantified electroencephalography (EEGq) by means the Fast Fourier Transformed system (FFT) was carried out on two groups of patients with idiopathic Parkinson's Disease (PD). The first one was with symptoms of cortical deterioration, and the second group consisting of subjects without signs of cortical impairment. The study of the specific EEGq indices has led to the establishment of parameters which establish differences between these two groups. Specifically, a difference has been found with regard to the total potentials of delta and alpha frequency bands; alpha/theta index; posterior activities; changes in the lobular antero-posterior of delta and alpha rhythms; and in the distribution of the spatialization index of alpha rhythm. We discuss the implications of this electrophysiological differentiation between the two groups, regarding the possible frontal lobe affection in the subcortical dementiation of the Parkinson's disease.

RESUMO

We created a questionnaire in order to evaluate the attitude toward epilepsy among the general population in Majorca Island, Spain. We made 1,164 interviews, divided fifty per cent between city and rural inhabitants. We studied the level of epilepsy knowledge in the population, and we compared the evolution of positive attitude of our study with others from Spain and the USA. We also studied the relationship between the variables considered and the two basic attitudes (integration-positive and stigmatization-negative). These two patterns were suggested to be associated with several trends of the population.
