Unraveling ethnic disparities in antipsychotic prescribing among patients with psychosis: A retrospective cohort study based on electronic clinical records. Schizophr Res 2023; 260:168-179. [PMID: 37669576 PMCID: PMC10881407 DOI: 10.1016/j.schres.2023.08.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2022] [Revised: 07/11/2023] [Accepted: 08/27/2023] [Indexed: 09/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown mixed evidence on ethnic disparities in antipsychotic prescribing among patients with psychosis in the UK, partly due to small sample sizes. This study aimed to examine the current state of antipsychotic prescription with respect to patient ethnicity among the entire population known to a large UK mental health trust with non-affective psychosis, adjusting for multiple potential risk factors. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included all patients (N = 19,291) who were aged 18 years or over at their first diagnoses of non-affective psychosis (identified with the ICD-10 codes of F20-F29) recorded in electronic health records (EHRs) at the South London and Maudsley NHS Trust until March 2021. The most recently recorded antipsychotic treatments and patient attributes were extracted from EHRs, including both structured fields and free-text fields processed using natural language processing applications. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to calculate the odds ratios (OR) for antipsychotic prescription according to patient ethnicity, adjusted for multiple potential contributing factors, including demographic (age and gender), clinical (diagnoses, duration of illness, service use and history of cannabis use), socioeconomic factors (level of deprivation and own-group ethnic density in the area of residence) and temporal changes in clinical guidelines (date of prescription). RESULTS The cohort consisted of 43.10 % White, 8.31 % Asian, 40.80 % Black, 2.64 % Mixed, and 5.14 % of patients from Other ethnicity. Among them, 92.62 % had recorded antipsychotic receipt, where 24.05 % for depot antipsychotics and 81.72 % for second-generation antipsychotic (SGA) medications. Most ethnic minority groups were not significantly different from White patients in receiving any antipsychotic. Among those receiving antipsychotic prescribing, Black patients were more likely to be prescribed depot (adjusted OR 1.29, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.14-1.47), but less likely to receive SGA (adjusted OR 0.85, 95 % CI 0.74-0.97), olanzapine (OR 0.82, 95 % CI 0.73-0.92) and clozapine (adjusted OR 0.71, 95 % CI 0.6-0.85) than White patients. All the ethnic minority groups were less likely to be prescribed olanzapine than the White group. CONCLUSIONS Black patients with psychosis had a distinct pattern in antipsychotic prescription, with less use of SGA, including olanzapine and clozapine, but more use of depot antipsychotics, even when adjusting for the effects of multiple demographic, clinical and socioeconomic factors. Further research is required to understand the sources of these ethnic disparities and eliminate care inequalities.

Laurin A, Bulteau S, Caillet P, Artari P, Sauvaget A, Gollier-Briant F, Huon JF, Bonnot O. Psychotropic drugs consumption during 2020 COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns: Evidence of a surprising resilience of the drugs delivery system in France. Eur Neuropsychopharmacol 2023; 73:48-61. [PMID: 37119562 PMCID: PMC10086109 DOI: 10.1016/j.euroneuro.2023.04.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2022] [Revised: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 04/04/2023] [Indexed: 05/01/2023]
Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic imposed two lockdowns of eight and six weeks in France. While access to care was reduced during lockdown periods, these stressful situations with the pandemic and lockdown periods may have a negative impact on mental health, especially in vulnerable subgroups. Monitoring of psychotropic drugs consumption in France is a comprehensive and reliable tool for indirectly analyzing the mental health of French people. This historical cohort study (n = 767 147) investigated the short-term and long-term evolution of the weekly trend of psychotropic drugs users in 2020 by performing a Seasonal Trend decomposition time series analysis. Rate of progression of consumers per week increased from 186 in the last week of 2019 to 261 per week in the last week of 2020 (+40.3%). Our results did not show a significant break in psychotropic drugs consumption trends during the year 2020 and its two lockdowns. The increase in trend regarding psychotropic drugs consumptions was greatest in young people (<15 years) and patients not being socially deprived. Despite the increase in consumers with restrictive health measures, the French drugs delivery system has been able to adapt with the support of government and pharmacy network. This point should be kept in mind as the necessary reforms to the health care system are undertaken. The COVID-19 pandemic has a negative impact on mental health and two lockdowns occurred in France with reduced access to care. In this context, monitoring of psychotropic drugs consumption is a comprehensive and reliable tool for analyzing the mental health of French people. We hypothesized that the psychotropic drugs consumption has increased during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, testifying to French people mental health deterioration, with psychotropic drugs consumption breaks during lockdowns, especially during the first "grand national lockdown", due to the closure or difficulties for accessing to health care structures. By carrying out a historical cohort study among Pays de la Loire residents (n = 767 147), we investigated evolution of the weekly trend of psychotropic drugs users in 2020 compared to 2019 by performing a Seasonal Trend decomposition time series analysis. Between 2019 to 2020, we found a + 40.3% rate of progression of consumers per week. During the year 2020, changes in trend regarding psychotropic drugs consumptions was observed in various sub-groups, e.g. greater in the youngest (< 15 years), which may indicate a vulnerable group strongly impacted by COVID-19 negative consequences, and patients not being socially deprived, which may indicate a group with probably an easier access to care. Lockdown periods were not associated with a significant change in psychotropic drug use, suggesting a form of resilience in the French health care system to maintain its capacity to deliver psychotropic treatments. We mainly discussed that despite the increase in consumers and the policies of restricting access to care during lockdown periods, the French drugs delivery system has been able to adapt thanks to supportive policy actions (extension of the prescriptions validity without the need for a renewal by a physician during periods of lockdowns), an efficient pharmacy network with a collaborative practice of health actors that need to be developed and/or conserved to face potential future health crises.

Trends in antipsychotic prescribing to children and adolescents in England: cohort study using 2000-19 primary care data. Lancet Psychiatry 2023; 10:119-128. [PMID: 36638816 DOI: 10.1016/s2215-0366(22)00404-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2022] [Revised: 11/23/2022] [Accepted: 11/24/2022] [Indexed: 01/12/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The prescription of antipsychotics to children and adolescents has been increasing worldwide. We described up-to-date trends in antipsychotic prescribing and identified likely indications in a contemporary English cohort. METHODS We used a large primary care database, the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) Aurum database, and we included all children and adolescents aged 3-18 years in the database and registered in England between Jan 1, 2000, and Dec 31, 2019, excluding those whose gender was recorded as indeterminate. Participants were followed up until the earliest of Dec 31, 2019, June 30 of the year they turned 18 years, their death, when they transferred from the primary care practice, or when the practice left the database. Data were not collected on ethnicity. We recorded antipsychotic prescriptions using the date a prescription was issued. As CPRD prescriptions are not linked to indications, we developed an algorithm to ascertain the most likely indication associated with participants' first antipsychotic prescription using clinical codes. We reported prescribing trends as annual period prevalence and the rate of first antipsychotic prescription, and we used joinpoint regression analysis to identify changes in the outcome trend. We stratified prevalence estimates by age group, gender, and Index of Multiple Deprivation quintiles, we reported frequencies of likely indications associated with incident prescriptions, and we explored clinical preference for typical versus atypical antipsychotics within deprivation quintiles. FINDINGS Between Jan 1, 2000, and Dec 31, 2019, we included 7 216 791 children and adolescents, of whom 3 480 730 (48·2%) were girls and 3 736 061 (51·8%) were boys, with a mean age at the start of follow-up of 7·3 years (SD 4·9; range 3-18). Median follow-up was 4·1 years (IQR 1·5-8·5). 19 496 (0·3%) individuals received 243 529 antipsychotic prescriptions over follow-up, including 225 710 (92·7%) atypical and 17 819 (7·3%) typical antipsychotic prescriptions. The annual period prevalence of antipsychotic prescriptions rose from 0·057% (95% CI 0·052-0·063%) in 2000 to 0·105% (0·100-0·111%) in 2019. From joinpoint analyses, the period prevalence of all antipsychotic prescriptions increased by an average of 3·3% per year (2·2-4·9%) and the rate of first prescriptions increased by 2·2% per year (1·7-2·7%). The most likely indications of the first identified antipsychotic prescriptions were for autism spectrum disorder (2477 [12·7%]), non-affective psychosis (1669 [8·6%]), anxiety disorders (1466 [7·5%]), ADHD (1391 [7·1%]), depression (1256 [6·4%]), and conduct disorders (1181 [6·1%]). INTERPRETATION The observed increase in antipsychotic prescriptions over 20 years results from the accumulation of repeated prescriptions to the same individuals combined with an increase in new prescriptions. These findings highlight the need for continued monitoring of trends in antipsychotic use and, although this was not examined in this paper, the findings highlights the need for better information about long-term antipsychotic safety. FUNDING None.

Rates of psychotropic medicine prescribing in paediatric populations in Australian general practice from 2000-2016. Eur Neuropsychopharmacol 2022; 65:68-78. [PMID: 36434887 DOI: 10.1016/j.euroneuro.2022.09.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2022] [Revised: 09/24/2022] [Accepted: 09/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
General practitioner (GP) prescribing of psychotropic medicines to paediatric patients is increasing across countries, sparking the need for additional research into this field. We examined prescribing rates, GP and patient characteristics and indications associated with prescribing psychotropic medicines to paediatric patients in Australian general practice, using data from the Bettering the Evaluation and Care of Health (BEACH) program. We extracted all encounters with children aged 3 to 17 from 2000 to 2016. Psychotropic medicines were defined as those in the ATC codes N05 (Psycholeptics) and N06 (Psychoanaleptics). Of the 144,397 encounters, GPs prescribed 1829 psychotropic medicines to paediatric patients at an average rate of 1.16 prescriptions per 100 encounters (95% confidence interval 1.09-1.23). We found that the rate of psychotropic medicines prescribed to paediatric patients in Australian general practice increased. Patients who were adolescent, female, socio-economically disadvantaged or from an English-speaking background were significantly more likely to be prescribed a psychotropic medicine. GP practices in remote or regional areas and Australian graduate GPs were more likely to prescribe psychotropic medicines to paediatric patients. Depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, anxiety and autism were the most common psychiatric indications managed with psychotropic medicines. Antidepressants, psychostimulants, benzodiazepines, antipsychotics and other psychotropic medicines were prescribed, signifying a high rate of off-label use. Sertraline was the most common psychotropic medicine prescribed, followed by fluoxetine and methylphenidate. Future studies involving data from other prescribers, e.g. paediatricians and psychiatrists, and studies linking prescribed medicines to their indications may widen our understanding of psychotropic medicine prescribing in Australian paediatric patients.

[PMID: 35138475 PMCID: PMC10326153 DOI: 10.1007/s00787-022-01949-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2021] [Accepted: 01/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The Dutch law on youth care (the Youth Act) was implemented from 2015 onwards. One of the government's aims by implementing this new policy was de-medicalization of youths by separating youth mental healthcare from the rest of the healthcare system. A previous study conducted by our research group showed that prevalence rates of antipsychotic drug prescriptions stabilized among Dutch youth in the period 2005-2015, just before the introduction of the Youth Act. In our study, we aimed to describe antipsychotic drug use among Dutch children aged 0-19 years old before and after implementation of the Youth Act (2010-2019). METHODS We analyzed prescription data of 7405 youths aged 0-19 years using antipsychotic drugs between 2010 and 2019, derived from a large Dutch community pharmacy-based prescription database (IADB.nl). RESULTS Prevalence rates of antipsychotic drug use per thousand youths decreased significantly in youths aged 7-12 years old in 2019 compared to 2015 (7.9 vs 9.0 p < 0.05). By contrast, prevalence rates increased in adolescent females in 2019 compared to 2015 (11.8 vs 9.5 p < 0.05). Incidence rates increased significantly in adolescent youths in 2019 compared to 2015 (3.9 vs 3.0 p < 0.05), specifically among adolescent girls (4.2 per thousand in 2019 compared to 3.0 per thousand in 2015). Dosages in milligram declined for the most commonly prescribed antipsychotic drugs during the study period. The mean duration of antipsychotic drug use in the study period was 5.7 (95% CI 5.2-6.2) months. CONCLUSION Despite the aim of the Youth Act to achieve de-medicalization of youths, no clear reduction was observed in prevalence rates of antipsychotic drugs or treatment duration in all subgroups. Prevalence rates even increased in adolescent females.

Abstract
Background: Nearly 3% of the population is treated by antipsychotic. The aim of this study was to assess the conformity of monitoring with guidelines to prevent Metabolic Syndrome. Research design and method: The analysis was conducted using SNIIRAM data (2013 to 2017) on a cohort of patients who received at least eight antipsychotic dispensings in the first year. Glucose and lipid testings were recorded according to refunds at initiation [between -3 and 0.5 months], 3 months [between 2 and 4 months], and 12 months [between 11 and 13 months] after, and assuming optimal testing during hospitalization (exclusive of psychiatric unit). Descriptive and comparative analysis, «chi-squared test or Student's t-test», were performed as well as multivariate analysis with logistic regression. Results: 18 760 patients were selected, 14 421 were still alive and monitored at the end of the follow up. In the recommended period, only 2.89% of patients had three complete testings and 50.6% one or two complete testings Non-optimal testing was more likely to occur in children and adults (vs elderly), in patients with less than 3 prescribers, and with universal medical coverage. Conclusion: Monitoring remains dramatically insufficient. New actions involving patients, practitioners, and authorities are warranted.

Abstract
Objectives: Osteoporosis is a major risk factor for fracture and treatment is mainly preventive. Patients with severe psychiatric condition and treated with antipsychotics are at risk for vitamin D deficiency and iatrogenic hyperprolactinemia, two serious risk factors of osteoporosis. We aim to determine whether all antipsychotics are similar regarding the risk of osteoporosis in young patients. Methods: From January 2009 to March 2015, we determined the vitamin D blood level (VDBL) among 484 inpatients and from January 2012 to March 2015, we determined the prolactin blood level (PBL) among 205 inpatients. We systematically recorded well-documented risk factors (e.g., age, gender, ethnic origin, body mass index, or season) and suspected risk factors (e.g., disease type or antipsychotic treatment). Results: Up to 89% of the inpatients had a VDBL under the recommended threshold. Up to 60% of the inpatients had hyperprolactinemia. The multivariate model found a significant effect on VDBL for seasonality (higher VDBL in summer), ethnicity (lower VDBL in Black individuals), and treatment exposure. The multivariate model found a significant effect on PBL for gender and treatment exposure. In both models, aripiprazole had a safer profile compared with other antipsychotics. Conclusion: Because adolescence is a period of bone construction and a critical window of opportunity for maximizing bone mass, we recommend vitamin D supplementation in young patients with severe mental condition. It could be interesting to reconsider to regularly monitor PBL among youth patients treated with antipsychotic, with the exception of aripiprazole.
