Antidepressant use before and after initiation of diabetes mellitus treatment

Abstract: Aims/hypothesis Although current literature suggests an association between diabetes and depression, the direction of the association is unclear. We examined the temporal association between diabetes and depression by studying antidepressant and benzodiazepine use around the initiation of diabetes treatment. Methods From a pharmacy registry database we selected 49,593 diabetic patients and a random sample of non-diabetic individuals (n=154,441), all >40 years old. Antidepressant and benzodiazepine use was calc… Show more

“…One study [ 34 ] reported two datasets for patients with prevalent and incident diabetes, leaving a total of 13 datasets for analysis. Three studies [ 35 , 36 , 37 ] used incident prescription of antidepressants as a proxy for depression diagnosis, five studies [ 34 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 ] used clinical diagnostic criteria, and three [ 42 , 43 , 44 ] relied on questionnaires. One study used both questionnaires and prescription of antidepressants [ 42 ].…”

“…Antidepressant use was examined in 49,593 people with diabetes and a random sample of 154,441 people without diabetes included in a pharmacy database in the Netherlands (17). Antidepressant use was only increased 2 months before and 3 months after initiation of diabetes treatment, with the marked increase in the incidence of antidepressant use in the month after initiation of diabetes treatment, with incidence rate ratio of 2.4 (95% CI 2.0–3.0).…”

“…We did not account for antidepressant medication use in these analyses. Because of concerns regarding confounding by indication (Knol et al, 2009), methods beyond regression models that explicitly account for selection effects (e.g., propensity score techniques) are necessary to assess whether antidepressants are associated with type 2 diabetes risk above and beyond depressive symptomology (Glynn et al, 2006; Rubin, 2004). Finally, because of the modest ICC (0.013) we had limited statistical power to identify the influence of factors at this level.…”
