| アブストラクト | BACKGROUND: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a disabling mental illness that can affect all aspects of daily life and is a leading cause of healthcare resource utilisation (HCRU). AIMS: We aimed to characterise patients with MDD with moderate-to-high-suicide-intent, compare their HCRU to patients with MDD without moderate-to-high-suicide-intent, and better understand their patient pathways. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study used data collected from primary care electronic health records from Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD), linked to Hospital Episode Statistics, Mental Health Services Data Set, and Office for National Statistics in England. Adults diagnosed with >/= 1 MDD diagnosis between 04/2007 and 11/2015 were categorised by suicide intent. RESULTS: 307,476 patients with MDD were included (294,259 patients without moderate-to-high-suicide-intent and 13,217 with moderate-to-high-suicide-intent). Patients with MDD with moderate-to-high-suicide-intent were younger on average (39.0 vs. 44.8 years) and included a lower percentage of females (58% vs. 65%) compared to patients without moderate-to-high-suicide-intent. HCRU was greater among patients with moderate-to-high-suicide-intent than patients without moderate-to-high-suicide-intent during the first follow-up year for general practitioner consultations (38.5 vs. 29.4), psychiatric outpatient visits (1.5 vs. 0.1), psychiatrist visits (3.6 vs. 0.3), emergency visits (1.5 vs. 0.3), and hospitalisations (86% vs. 26%). Overall, 56% of patients with moderate-to-high-suicide-intent had an antidepressant prescription within 30 days from the initial moderate-to-high-suicide-intent. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with MDD and moderate-to-high-suicide-intent were younger, included more males and incurred greater HCRU than those without moderate-to-high-suicide-intent. These results suggest a greater need for effective medical care and appropriate treatments for patients with moderate-to-high-suicide-intent, which could help reduce associated symptoms, mortality, and HCRU. |
