■脓毒症构成一种涉及由严重感染引起的危及生命的器官功能障碍的病症。这项巢式病例对照研究调查了严重败血症的危险因素,以及抗精神病药物的使用是否与精神分裂症患者的严重败血症风险相关。一个在以前的研究中没有被全面探索的话题。
■我们从台湾的2000-2012年精神病住院医疗索赔数据库中选择了39,432名年龄在15至65岁之间的精神分裂症患者。病例组包括首次精神科入院后的严重脓毒症患者(n=1382)。病例组和对照组按年龄随机配对(1:4),性和第一次精神病住院(年),最终包括1382和5528人,分别。我们采用多变量条件逻辑回归来确定(1)危险因素(身体疾病和非精神病药物)和(2)抗精神病药与严重败血症的关联。
■精神科入院和精神错乱等身体疾病的人数增加,脑血管疾病和癌症与严重脓毒症的高风险显著相关.此外,严重脓毒症与抗血栓药物的使用有关,全身性皮质类固醇和靶向肾素-血管紧张素系统的药物。使用氯氮平(调整风险比=1.65)和喹硫平(调整风险比=1.59)与严重脓毒症风险增加相关。使用一种以上的抗精神病药物可能会进一步增加这种风险。
一些身体疾病和非精神病药物会增加精神分裂症患者严重败血症的风险。具体来说,在这些患者中,使用氯氮平或喹硫平会显著增加严重脓毒症的风险.
UNASSIGNED: Sepsis constitutes a condition that involves life-threatening organ dysfunction induced by severe infection. This nested
case-control study investigated risk factors for severe sepsis and whether antipsychotic use is associated with severe sepsis risk in patients with
schizophrenia, a topic that has not been comprehensively explored in previous studies.
UNASSIGNED: We selected 39,432 patients with
schizophrenia aged between 15 and 65 years from Taiwan\'s Psychiatric Inpatient Medical Claims database for the period 2000-2012. The
case group comprised patients with severe sepsis after their first psychiatric admission (n = 1382). The
case and control groups were randomly matched (1:4) by age, sex and first psychiatric admission (year) and finally comprised 1382 and 5528 individuals, respectively. We employed multivariable conditional logistic regression to identify (1) risk factors (physical illnesses and nonpsychiatric medications) and (2) antipsychotic-severe sepsis associations.
UNASSIGNED: Higher numbers of psychiatric admissions and physical illnesses such as delirium, cerebrovascular disease and cancer were significantly associated with a higher risk of severe sepsis. Furthermore, severe sepsis was associated with the use of antithrombotic agents, systemic corticosteroids and agents targeting the renin-angiotensin system. Clozapine (adjusted risk ratio = 1.65) and quetiapine (adjusted risk ratio = 1.59) use were associated with an increased risk of severe sepsis. The use of more than one antipsychotic drug could further increase this risk.
UNASSIGNED: Several physical illnesses and nonpsychiatric medications increase the risk of severe sepsis in patients with schizophrenia. Specifically, clozapine or quetiapine use significantly increased the risk of severe sepsis in these patients.
