National Rates and Patterns of Depression Screening in Primary Care: Results From 2012 and 2013
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2017
Publication Place: United States
Abstract: OBJECTIVES: Despite high prevalence rates of depression in primary care, depressive symptoms are often undetected by physicians. Screening for depression is now recommended as a part of routine primary care; however, recent estimates of rates and patterns of depression screening are lacking in the literature. This study examined national rates and patterns of depression screening among visits to office-based primary care physicians. METHODS: A secondary analysis of data from the 2012 and 2013 National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey was conducted. The sample consisted of 33,653 physician-patient encounters. RESULTS: The overall rate of depression screening was 4.2%. African Americans were half as likely to be screened compared with whites, and elderly patients were half as likely to be screened compared with middle-aged patients. Patients with a chronic condition were more likely than patients without a chronic condition to receive depression screening, and the likelihood of being screened increased with each additional chronic condition. Providers who had fully adopted electronic health records (EHRs) were more likely to screen for depression compared with providers who used paper charts. Screening rates were not associated with providers' intentions to participate in the federal program that provides financial incentives for the meaningful use of certified EHRs. CONCLUSIONS: Overall rates of depression screening were low. Current screening practices may exacerbate existing disparities in depression care. EHR systems may be an effective tool to improve screening rates.

National study of discontinuation of long-term opioid therapy among veterans
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2014
Publication Place: United States
Abstract: Veterans have high rates of chronic pain and long-term opioid therapy (LTOT). Understanding predictors of discontinuation from LTOT will clarify the risks for prolonged opioid use and dependence among this population. All veterans with at least 90 days of opioid use within a 180-day period were identified using national Veteran's Health Affairs (VHA) data between 2009 and 2011. Discontinuation was defined as 6 months with no opioid prescriptions. We used Cox proportional hazards analysis to determine clinical and demographic correlates for discontinuation. A total of 550,616 veterans met criteria for LTOT. The sample was primarily male (93%) and white (74%), with a mean age of 57.8 years. The median daily morphine equivalent dose was 26 mg, and 7% received high-dose (>100mg MED) therapy. At 1 year after initiation, 7.5% (n=41,197) of the LTOT sample had discontinued opioids. Among those who discontinued (20%, n=108,601), the median time to discontinuation was 317 days. Factors significantly associated with discontinuation included both younger and older age, lower average dosage, and having received less than 90 days of opioids in the previous year. Although tobacco use disorders decreased the likelihood of discontinuation, co-morbid mental illness and substance use disorders increased the likelihood of discontinuation. LTOT is common in the VHA system and is marked by extended duration of use at relatively low daily doses with few discontinuation events. Opioid discontinuation is more likely in veterans with mental health and substance use disorders. Further research is needed to delineate causes and consequences of opioid discontinuation.

National Trends in the Mental Health Care of Children, Adolescents, and Adults by Office-Based Physicians
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2013
Abstract: IMPORTANCE Despite evidence of the increasing use of psychotropic medications, little is known about the broader changes in the delivery of outpatient mental health treatment to children, adolescents, and adults. OBJECTIVE To assess national trends and patterns in the mental health care of children, adolescents, and adults in office-based medical practice. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Outpatient visits to physicians in office-based practice from the 1995-2010 National Ambulatory Medical Care Surveys (N = 446 542). Trends (1995-2010) in visits with mental health care indicators are first compared between youths (/=21 years) and then between children (0-13 years) and adolescents (14-20 years). Background and clinical characteristics of recent visits (2007-2010) resulting in a mental disorder diagnosis are also compared among children, adolescents, and adults. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Visits resulting in mental disorder diagnoses, prescription of psychotropic medications, provision of psychotherapy, or psychiatrist care. RESULTS Between 1995-1998 and 2007-2010, visits resulting in mental disorder diagnoses per 100 population increased significantly faster for youths (from 7.78 to 15.30 visits) than for adults (from 23.23 to 28.48 visits) (interaction: P < .001). Psychiatrist visits also increased significantly faster for youths (from 2.86 to 5.71 visits) than for adults (from 10.22 to 10.87 visits) (interaction: P < .001). Psychotropic medication visits increased at comparable rates for youths (from 8.35 to 17.12 visits) and adults (from 30.76 to 65.90 visits) (interaction: P = .13). While psychotherapy visits increased from 2.25 to 3.17 per 100 population for youths, they decreased from 8.37 to 6.36 for adults (interaction: P < .001). In 2007-2010, 27.4% of child visits, 47.9% of adolescent visits, and 36.6% of adult visits resulting in a mental disorder diagnosis were to a psychiatrist. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Compared with adult mental health care, the mental health care of young people has increased more rapidly and has coincided with increased psychotropic medication use. A great majority of mental health care in office-based medical practice to children, adolescents, and adults is provided by nonpsychiatrist physicians calling for increased consultation and communication between specialties.
