Analysis of the trends of polypharmacy and high-dose prescriptions in Japan
Introduction
After extensive research, this study explored whether high-dose prescriptions and polypharmacy remain more frequent in Japan than elsewhere. If confirmed, we aimed to identify the factors that contributed to this unique trend.
Methods
The psychotropic drug prescription patterns for patients with schizophrenia in Japan were reviewed. This was based on a large sample collected from surveys of the Research on Asian Psychotropic Prescription Patterns, an international collaborative research project conducted by Asian psychiatrists to monitor prescriptions of psychotropic drugs for people with mental disorders, in 2001, 2004, 2008, and 2016.
Results
The 2016 Research on Asian Psychotropic Prescription Patterns survey revealed that Japan continued to demonstrate the highest rate of polypharmacy and the highest dosages of psychotropic prescription drugs for patients with schizophrenia among the 15 countries and areas that participated in the survey.
Discussion
The Research on Asian Psychotropic Prescription Patterns surveys demonstrated that science plays a limited role in the decision-making process for prescriptions of psychotropic medications. Such prescriptions are influenced by a wide range of factors, such as the national mental health policy, prescription-financing systems, the history of psychiatry in each country, and the prevailing culture. Hospital-based national mental health policies and mental health financing systems have been the primary obstacles to reducing polypharmacy in Japan.
期刊介绍:
Asia-Pacific Psychiatry is an international psychiatric journal focused on the Asia and Pacific Rim region, and is the official journal of the Pacific Rim College of Psychiatrics. Asia-Pacific Psychiatry enables psychiatric and other mental health professionals in the region to share their research, education programs and clinical experience with a larger international readership. The journal offers a venue for high quality research for and from the region in the face of minimal international publication availability for authors concerned with the region. This includes findings highlighting the diversity in psychiatric behaviour, treatment and outcome related to social, ethnic, cultural and economic differences of the region. The journal publishes peer-reviewed articles and reviews, as well as clinically and educationally focused papers on regional best practices. Images, videos, a young psychiatrist''s corner, meeting reports, a journal club and contextual commentaries differentiate this journal from existing main stream psychiatry journals that are focused on other regions, or nationally focused within countries of Asia and the Pacific Rim.
