简要总结
To evaluate the effectiveness of an algorithm for Bipolar Disorder depressive episodes (BDD) using medications available in the Brazilian Public Healthcare System (SUS). Quality of life assessment of these patients was also employed.
A randomized pragmatic trial was conducted. An algorithm was developed for the treatment of episodes of bipolar disorder depression episodes.
详细描述
The study design was that of a pragmatic randomized clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of treatments for mood disorders in a public healthcare context in the city of Porto Alegre, in southern Brazil. The algorithm was originally developed for the treatment of bipolar disorder depressive episodes by a Delphi panel of experts from psychiatric associations in Brazil. All subjects provided an informed consent form, in writing, in order to participate in the study protocol, which was approved by the institutional ethics committee.
Procedures and measurements of the study:
The subjects under evaluation were selected and they followed the stages defined by the treatment protocol:
- Sample selection by being referred from the primary healthcare clinics in the municipality;
- Informative talk about mood disorders and the research, with the informed consent forms being provided to the subjects;
- Screening for unipolar depression episodes with the use of the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), and Hypomanic Symptoms Checklist Brazilian Version (HCL -32-BV);
- Diagnostic evaluation through the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) and clinical interview for individuals with positive results in the screening instruments;
- Baseline and demographic assessments using standardized semi-structured interviews in the first and second visits;
- In each clinic visit, the severity of the symptoms were evealuated using the Clinical Global Impression Scale (CGI), Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD), and Young Manic Rating Scale (YMRS);
- Biweekly follow-up, changed to monthly after stabilization - with a maximum follow-up period of 52 weeks.

结局指标
主要结局
Number of Participants With Response to Treatment"
时间窗: 8 weeks
Response to treatment was defined as a 50% reduction from baseline scores in Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD)and Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) scales HRSD was developed to evaluate and quantify depression.Its abbreviated version,. Scoring is based on the 17-item scale and scores of 0-7 are considered as being normal. The cutoff points are: 8-17 for mild depression,18-24 for moderate depression, and 25 or more for severe depression. The maximum score being 52 on the 17-point scale. YMRS is is the most widely used assessment tool for manic symptoms. The scale consists of 11 items .The YMRS follows the style of the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D) with each item given a severity rating. There are four items that are graded on a 0 to 8 scale (irritability, speech, thought content, and disruptive/agressive behavior), while the remaining seven items are graded on a 0 to 4 scale. Scores of YMRS \> 20 generates indicate mania
Quality of Life Instrument Scores
时间窗: 12 weeks
Quality of Life - WHOQOL -BREF instrument scores scores 0-20 . higher scores mean a better outcome.
