General antidepressants prescribing trends 2009–2018 in Slovenia : a cross-sectional retrospective database studyČebron Lipovec, Nanča ; Anderlič, Andrej, farmacevt ; Locatelli, IgorBackground: Antidepressants are one of the most frequently prescribed groups of medications. The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence and patterns of antidepressants prescribed between ... 2009 and 2018 in Slovenia in different patient-age groups. Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study performed a nationwide database analysis of all outpatient antidepressant prescriptions based on Slovenian health claims data. Prevalence was defined as number of recipients prescribed at least one antidepressant per 1000 inhabitants. Antidepressant consumption was presented as total dispensed defined daily doses per year. Results: In 2018, 147,300 patients were prescribed at least one antidepressant. The prevalence had increased by 16% in ten years and by 7.6% in age standardised data. The largest increase in prevalence was seen in the oldest patients (>80 years, 25% increase); of these, antidepressants are now prescribed to 1 in 4. Use of antidepressants had increased by 38%, suggesting longer treatment duration, increase in dose prescribed or both. SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) were the most prescribed antidepressants (70% share), with escitalopram and sertraline the most commonly prescribed antidepressants. Conclusion: The prevalence of antidepressant prescribing and antidepressant consumption is increasing, mainly due to the population ageing and the increasing prescribing in elderly patients. Key Points: The prevalence of antidepressant prescribing as well as antidepressants’ consumption is increasing, reflecting both population ageing and rising prescribing rates. The increase in prevalence and consumption is most dramatic in the oldest patients (over 80 years of age). SSRIs continue to be the most commonly prescribed antidepressants, whilst prescribing of SNRIs is increasing. Future research should focus on evaluating appropriate prescribing of antidepressants (treatment selection, dosage and duration), especially in the elderly.Source: International journal of psychiatry in clinical practice. - ISSN 1365-1501 (Vol. 26, iss. 4, 2022, str. 401-405)Type of material - article, component part ; adult, seriousPublish date - 2022Language - englishCOBISS.SI-ID - 104861443
