Diabetes is associated with premature death and a number of serious complications. The presence of comorbid depression makes these outcomes more likely and results in increased healthcare costs. The aim of this work was to assess the health economic outcomes associated with having both diabetes and depression, and assess the cost-effectiveness of potential policy changes to improve the care pathway: improved opportunistic screening for depression, collaborative care for depression treatment, and the combination of both.
Open access. Aims and method To discern changes in body mass index (BMI) in patients on long-term antidepressant treatment in a general practice population and establish BMI changes in patients with and without a diagnosis of diabetes. We used a retrospective observational method and identified patients on four antidepressants of interest. We excluded those who did not have start and current BMI readings within the past 3 years and noted whether or not patients had a diagnosis of diabetes.
Results Long-term treatment with citalopram, fluoxetine, mirtazapine and sertraline was associated with increased BMI in two-thirds of patients. There was reduction in BMI in patients with diabetes and an increase in BMI for patients who did not have diabetes.
Clinical implications Awareness of environmental factors and their impact on individuals is important. Medication is not the only cause of abnormal metabolic effects. Overall monitoring of physical health is important in all groups of patients.
