Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness and tolerability of escitalopram in the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD). Method: One hundred and forty-five patients with ESRD were screened with Zung depression scale. The patients with Zung SDS measurements of 50% or above went through a psychiatric examination. Among the interviewed patients the ones, diagnosed with MDD based on DSM-IV and consented to participate in the study, were included. Those with any other comorbid axis I or II disorders and patients taking any psychotropic medications were excluded. The patients were randomly assigned to treatment with escitalopram or placebo. Clinical assessments were made by using Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D), Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety (HAM-A), and UKU Side Effects Rating Scale (UKU) at baseline and at 2nd, 4th and 8th weeks of treatment. Results: Seventy of 145 patients had SDS measurements of 50% or above. Of the 70 patients interviewed, 67 fullfilled the criteria for MDD according to DSM-IV. Five patients did not accept to participate, so 62 patients were included in the study. A total of 58 patients, 30 in the escitalopram group and 28 in the placebo group, completed the study. Patients taking escitalopram treatment showed a significantly greater reduction on HRSD scores compared to patients taking placebo. Likewise, side effect profile and severity with escitalopram were considered tolerable when compared with placebo. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that escitalopram may be used effectively and with good tolerability in the treatment of MDD in patients with ESRD

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, son dönem böbrek yetmezliği (SDBY) hastalarındaki Major Depresif Bozukluğun (MDB) tedavisinde, essitalopramın etkinliğini ve tolere edilebilir- liğini araştırmaktır. Yöntem: Yüz kırkbeş SDBY hastasına Zung testi uygulandı. Zung testi ile SDS ölçümü %50 ve üstünde olan hastalar ile psikiyatrik görüşme yapıldı. Görüşme sonrası DSM-IVe göre MDB olan hastalardan, başka birinci ve ikinci eksen tanı- ları olmayan, herhangi bir psikotrop ilaç kullanmayan ve çalışmayı kabul eden hastalar çalışmaya alındı. Bu hastalar essitalopram ve plasebo gruplarına ayrıldı. Hastalar, tedavi başlamadan önce, tedavinin 2., 4. ve 8. haftalarında 17 mad- delik Hamilton Depresyon Derecelendirme ölçeği (HAM-D), 14 maddelik Hamilton Anksiyete Değerlendirme ölçeği ve UKU Yan Etki Değerlendirme Ölçeği ile değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Yüz kırkbeş hastanın 70inde SDS ölçümü %50 ve üstünde idi. Psikiyatrik görüşme yapılan 70 hastanın 67si DSM-IVe göre MDB kriterlerini karşılıyordu. 5 hasta çalış- mayı kabul etmedi. 62 hasta çalışmaya alındı. Çalışmayı, 30 essitalopram ve 28 plasebo grubundan olmak üzere 58 hasta tamamladı. Essitalopram grubunun HAM-D skorları ve HAM-A skorları plasebo grubuna göre anlamlı bir düşüş gösterdi. Yine essitalopram yan etki dağılımı ve derecesi de plasebo ile karşılaştırıldığında tolere edilebilir düzeylerde bulundu. Sonuç: Bu çalışmanın bulguları, SDBY hastalarındaki MDB tedavisinde, essitalopramın etkili ve iyi tolere edilebilen bir antidepresan olarak kullanılabileceğini düşündürmektedir.
