Abstract

Introduction: Depressive symptoms may occur in all stages of schizophrenia disorder. Clozapine is the only antipsychotic that has been demonstrated superior efficacy in schizophrenia and suicidal ideation. The aim of this study is to evaluate depressive symptoms in patients with schizophrenia treated with clozapine and to compare with treated with other atypical antipsychotics.

Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out on patients with schizophrenia according to DSM-IV-TR between December 2012 and May 2013. All participants were evaluated for demographic characteristics and points of Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale, Positive, Negative Syndrome Scale, and Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia.

Results: A total 23.6% (n = 13) patients treated with clozapine, while 76.4% (n = 42) patients were treated with other antipsychotic drugs. 23.1% (n = 3) of patients taking clozapine were women, 76.9% (n = 10) were male. The mean age of patients treated with clozapine was 43.0 ± 11.2. The level of depression of patients treated with clozapine was 15.4% (n = 2). No statistically significant difference was found between patients between treated with clozapine and other antipsychotics regarding age, sex, marital status, education years, work history, age at onset of disease, depression and history of suicide attempt

Conclusion: As a result of this study it is found that clozapine did not effect on the level of depression in patients with schizophrenia, and depression level of patients with schizophrenia treated with clozapine had no difference from  patients treated  with other antipsychotics.

Abstract

Giriş: Depresif belirtiler şizofreninin hemen tüm evrelerinde görülmektedir. Şizofreni tedavisinde kullanılan antipsikotik ilaçlar arasında tedaviye dirençli şizofrenide en etkili antipsikotik olan klozapin’in bu hasta grubunda intihar riskini azalttığı bilinmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı klozapin kullanan şizofreni hastalarında depresyon düzeyini saptamak, diğer atipik antipsikotik ilaçları kullanan hastalarla karşılaştırmaktır.

Yöntem: Bu çalışma Aralık 2012-Mayıs 2013 tarihleri arasında DSM-IV-TR’ye göre şizofreni tanılı hastaların değerlendirildiği kesitsel-tanımlayıcı bir çalışmadır. Tüm katılımcıların demografik özellikleri ve  Kısa Psikiyatrik Değerlendirme Ölçeği (KPDÖ), Pozitif ve Negatif Sendrom Ölçeği (PNSÖ) ve Calgary Şizofrenide Depresyon Ölçeği (CŞDÖ) puanları değerlendirildi.

Bulgular: Hastaların %23,6’sı (n = 13) klozapin, %76,4’ü (n = 42) diğer antipsikotikleri kullandığı tespit edildi. Klozapin kullanan hastaların %23,1’i (n = 3) kadın, %76,9‘u (n=10) erkekti. Klozapin kullanan hastaların yaş ortalaması 43,0 ± 11,2 idi. Klozapin kullanan hastaların depresyon düzeyi %15,4(n  = 2) olarak bulundu. Klozapin kullanan ve kullanmayan hastaların yaş, cinsiyet, medeni durum, eğitim süreleri, hastalık başlangıç yaşı, depresyon varlığı, intihar girişimi öyküsü değerlendirildiğinde her iki grup arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark saptanmadı.

Sonuç: Şizofreni hastalarında klozapin kullanımının depresyon düzeylerini etkilemediği ve diğer antipsikotikler ile kıyaslandığında depresyon üzerinde farklı bir etkileri olmadığı tespit edilmiştir.
