Patient Characteristics and Practice Variation Associated With New Community Prescription of Benzodiazepine and z-Drug Hypnotics After Critical Illness: A Retrospective Cohort Study Using the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink.
-
アブストラクト PURPOSE:Survivors of critical illness are often affected by new or worsened mental health conditions and sleep disorders. We examined the incidence, practice variation and factors associated with new benzodiazepine and z-drug community prescriptions among critical illness survivors.METHODS:A retrospective cohort study using the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink data included 52 846 adult critical care survivors hospitalised in 2010 and 2018 who were not prescribed benzodiazepines or z-drugs before hospitalisation. We performed multilevel multivariable logistic regression to assess patient factors associated with new (any prescription within 90 days) and with new-and-persistent (2+ prescriptions within 180 days) benzodiazepine or z-drug prescribing, and to evaluate variation by primary care practice.RESULTS:5.2% (2769/52846) of treatment-naive survivors (95% CI 5.1-5.4) were prescribed a benzodiazepine or z-drug, and 2.5% (1311/52846) had new-and-persistent prescribing. A history of insomnia (adjusted OR 1.96; 95% CI 1.74-2.21), anxiety or depression (adjusted OR 1.40; 95% CI 1.28-1.53) and recent prescription opioid use (adjusted OR 1.47; 95% CI 1.34-1.61) were associated with new community prescription. Sex was not associated with new prescriptions and older patients were less likely to receive a prescription. 2.6% of the variation in new prescribing and 4.1% of the variation in new-and-persistent prescribing were attributable to the prescribing practice.CONCLUSIONS:One in twenty critical illness survivors receive a new community benzodiazepine or z-drug prescription. Further research is needed to understand where in the patient care pathway initiation occurs and the risk of adverse events in survivors of recent critical illness.ジャーナル名 Pharmacoepidemiology and drug safety Pubmed追加日 2024/11/28 投稿者 Mansi, Elizabeth T; Rentsch, Christopher T; Bourne, Richard S; Guthrie, Bruce; Lone, Nazir I 組織名 Usher Institute, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK.;Faculty of Epidemiology and Population Health, London School of Hygiene &;Tropical Medicine, London, UK.;Department of Internal Medicine, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, USA.;Department of Pharmacy and Critical Care, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS;Foundation Trust, Sheffield, UK.;Division of Pharmacy and Optometry, School of Health Sciences, Faculty of;Biology, Medicine and Health, the University of Manchester, Manchester, UK.;Advanced Care Research Centre, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK.;University Department of Anaesthesia, Critical Care, and Pain Medicine, School of;Clinical Sciences, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK.
