Abstract

Objective: The developments experienced in the treatment of schizophrenia has increased the number of antiphyschotic drugs and thus treatment options of the clinicians accordingly, but this increaseas caused difficulties in the decision making process regarding treatment protocols. In this retrospective study, it is aimed to determine the frequency of the combined antipsychotic treatments among inpatients in Samsun Mental Hospital and which medicine combinations are used. Method: We evaluated the files of the patients who diagnosed as schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder according to DSM-IV diagnostic criteria. The combined medicine prescription is the least two antiphyschotic drugs together for four weeks in treatment doses. Results: We examined 1001 hospitalization files of 867 patients file who were diagnosed as schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorders. For 383 hospitalizations (38,26%) at least two antiphyschotic drugs were given together for at least four weeks in treatment dose. At each hospitalization average of 1,38 antiphyschotic drug was used for at least four weeks in effective treatment dose whereas average of 1,98 antiphyschotatic drug was used for at least one week in any dose. More than one antiphyschotic was used in 41 different combinations in 1001 hospitalizations. The used combinations were respectively first generation- second generation combination (56,92%), first generationfirst generation combination (24, 54%) and second generation-second generation combination (18, 53%). Conclusion: In this study has been shown that the majority of the inpatients (%38,26) has received combined antiphyschotic drug in treatment dose, but this rate was not significantly different than the rates specified in the literature.

Özet

Amaç: Şizofreni tedavisinde yaşanan gelişmeler klinisyenin antipsikotik seçeneklerini artırmış, ancak tedavi protokolleri konusunda karar verme sürecinde zorluklar yaşamasına neden olmuştur. Bu çalışmada Samsun Ruh Sağlığı ve Hastalıkları Hastanesi’nde yatarak tedavi gören hastaların hangi sıklıkta çoklu antipsikotik tedavi aldıklarını, hangi antipsikotiklerin bir arada kullanıldığını belirlemek amaçlanmıştır.Yöntem: DSM-IV tanı kriterlerine göre şizofreni ve şizoafektif bozukluk tanısı ile yatarak tedavi gören hastaların dosyaları değerlendirilmiştir. Çoklu ilaç kullanımı için en az iki antipsikotik ilacın tedavi dozunda dört hafta süreyle bir arada kullanım şartı aranmıştır.Bulgular: Şizofreni ve şizoafektif bozukluk tanısı alan 867 hastanın 1001 adet yatış dosyası incelenmiştir. Yatışların 383’ünde (%38,26) en az iki antipsikotik ilaç, tedavi dozunda en az dört hafta kullanılmıştır. Her yatışta, en az dört hafta etkin dozda ortalama 1,38 antipsikotik ilaç kullanılırken, en az bir hafta herhangi bir dozda ortalama 1,98 antipsikotik ilaç kullanılmıştır. Toplam 1001 yatışta 41 farklı kombinasyonda birden çok antipsikotik verilmiştir. Kullanılan çoklu antipsikotik ilaçları n, sırasıyla birinci kuşak-ikinci kuşak antipsikotik ilaçlar (%56,92), birinci kuşak-birinci kuşak antipsikotik ilaçlar (%24,54) ve ikinci kuşakikinci kuşak antipsikotik ilaçlar (%18,53) olduğu görülmüştür.Sonuç: Bu çalışmada yatarak tedavi gören hastaların önemli bir kısmında (%38,26) tedavi dozunda kombine antipsikotik ilaç kullanıldığı, ancak bu oranın literatürde verilen oranlardan yüksek olmadığı görülmüştür.
