Abstract
Purpose: This study delineates a number of Medicaid youth with tobacco use disorder (TUD), prescribing habits for treatment, and associated externalizing disorders.
Methods: Youth Medicaid claims from 2007-2017 processed in a large Midwestern city were analyzed for a diagnosis of TUD, related pharmacotherapy, and externalizing mental health and substance use disorders.
Results: Claims connected 6541 patients with 42 890 visits. Mean age was 16.4 with 40% female. 1232 of the 6541 charts contained a TUD diagnosis equating to 1848 visits. A comorbid diagnosis of ADHD, cannabis use, and conduct disorder were more common in males (3.9% vs 1.3% in females; 3.4% vs .8%; and 2.8% vs .8%; P < .05). 808 scripts were provided to 152 of the 1232 youths, with 4.7% of those scripts a nicotine replacement product.
Conclusions: Pharmacotherapy is underutilized in this Medicaid claims data set. Certain externalizing factors were associated with males with TUD more than females.
目的:本研究描述了一些有烟草使用障碍(TUD)、处方治疗习惯和相关外化障碍的医疗补助青年。方法:分析中西部一个大城市2007-2017年处理的青年医疗补助申请,以诊断TUD、相关药物治疗、外化心理健康和物质使用障碍。结果:索赔涉及6541例患者,就诊42890次。平均年龄16.4岁,女性占40%。6541张图表中的1232张包含了相当于1848次就诊的TUD诊断。ADHD、大麻使用和品行障碍的合并症诊断在男性中更为常见(3.9% vs 1.3%;3.4% vs .8%;2.8% vs .8%;P < 0.05)。研究人员向1232名青少年中的152名提供了808份处方,其中4.7%的处方是尼古丁替代产品。结论:药物治疗在医疗补助索赔数据集中未被充分利用。某些外化因素与男性患TUD的关系大于女性。
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Bio Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of biomaterials and biointerfaces including and beyond the traditional biosensing, biomedical and therapeutic applications.
The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important bio applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses the relationship between structure and function and assesses the stability and degradation of materials under relevant environmental and biological conditions.
