Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to determine the usage frequency of long-acting injectable antipsychotics among bipolar disorder type 1 patients who presented to the Dicle University Faculty of Medicine Psychiatry and Mental Health outpatient clinic, the clinical characteristics of these patients, and the preferences of clinicians about these agents. Materials and Methods: Our study included 111 patients older than 18 years old with bipolar disorder.The ’data of the patients were retrospectively obtained from electronic data records. The data were recorded in the data collection form prepared by the researchers with the support of the literature. Results: The rate of the patients who used long-acting injectable antipsychotics was 21.6%. Among the patients who used long-acting injectable antipsychotics, the rate of those who used second-generation long-acting injectable antipsychotics was 58.3%, and the most frequently preferred agent was paliperidone palmitate. The patients who were using long-acting injectable antipsychotics had significantly higher rates of not working and numbers of hospitalizations. Conclusion: Our results showed that long-acting injectable antipsychotics are preferred by clinicians in our outpatient clinic in the later stages of bipolar disorders and for patients with poor drug compliance, poor functionality, and more hospitalizations. Starting long-acting injectable antipsychotics in the early stages of bipolar disorders, even following the first attack, may increase treatment compliance, reduce the duration of hospitalization, and contribute to the functionality of patients.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, Dicle Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Psikiyatri polikliniğine başvuran Bipolar Bozukluk Tip 1 hastalarının uzun etkili enjektabl antipsikotik kullanım sıklığı ve hastaların klinik özellikleri ile klinisyenlerin bu ilaca yönelik tercihlerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmamız, 18 yaş üstü, 111 bipolar bozukluk tanısı almış hastanın katılımı ile gerçekleştirildi. Hasta verileri elektronik veri kayıtlarından retrospektif olarak elde edildi. Veriler araştırmacılar tarafından literatür destekli olarak hazırlanmış veri kayıt formuna kaydedildi.. Bulgular: İkinci kuşak uzun etkili enjektabl antipsikotik kullanan hastaların oranı %58,3 olup en çok tercih edilen paliperidon palmitat idi ve hastaların %21,6'sı uzun etkili enjektabl antipsikotik kullanıyordu. Uzun etkili enjektabl antipsikotik kullanan hastalarda çalışamama oranı ve hastanede kalış anlamlı olarak daha yüksekti. Sonuç: Bulgularımız uzun etkili enjektabl antipsikotiklerin, Bipolar Bozuklukların ileri evrelerinde, ilaç uyumu ve işlevselliği kötü olan ve poliklinikte klinisyenler tarafından daha fazla yatış endikasyonu olan hastalarda tercih edildiğini göstermiştir. Uzun etkili enjektabl antipsikotiklerin bipolar bozukluğun erken evrelerinde, hatta ilk atakta başlanması, tedaviye uyumu artırabilir, hastaneye yatış sayısını azaltabilir ve hastaların işlevselliğine katkıda bulunabilir.
