Dependencia de opiáceos entre los suscriptores de un plan de seguro privado del área de Nueva York
1Empire Blue Cross and Blue Shield, New York, NY 10017.
JAMA
|June 9, 1993
Resumen
Se estima que 141.000 usuarios de opiáceos fueron asegurados por Empire Blue Cross and Blue Shield (EBCBS) entre 1982 y 1992. Esto pone de relieve una población asegurada significativa, a menudo pasada por alto, en los estudios de uso de opiáceos.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Salud Pública La salud pública.
- Epidemiología La epidemiología.
- Servicios de salud Servicios de salud Investigación Investigación.
Sus antecedentes:
- La dependencia de opiáceos es una preocupación significativa para la salud pública.
- Estimar la prevalencia del consumo de opiáceos dentro de poblaciones específicas, como aquellas con seguro privado, es crucial para la asignación de recursos y la planificación de la intervención.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Estimar la prevalencia del consumo de opiáceos entre los suscriptores de Empire Blue Cross y Blue Shield (EBCBS).
- Evaluar la superposición entre la dependencia de opiáceos y los diagnósticos de síndrome de inmunodeficiencia adquirida (SIDA) dentro de la población EBCBS.
Principales métodos:
- Análisis de 6,5 millones de reclamaciones de pacientes hospitalizados desde el 1 de enero de 1982 hasta el 30 de junio de 1992.
- Identificación de personas con diagnóstico primario de dependencia de opiáceos (ICD-9-CM 304.0, 304.7).
- Cruzar los datos de dependencia de opiáceos con los ingresos hospitalarios por el síndrome de inmunodeficiencia adquirida (SIDA) para estimar la captura de usuarios de opiáceos.
Principales resultados:
- Se estimó que aproximadamente 141.000 personas aseguradas por EBCBS eran usuarios de opiáceos entre 1982 y 1992.
- Se estima que 85.000 usuarios de opiáceos permanecieron asegurados por EBCBS durante el período de estudio.
Conclusiones:
- Existe una población sustancial de usuarios asegurados de opiáceos y puede estar subrepresentada en estimaciones epidemiológicas más amplias.
- Las metodologías actuales para estimar las poblaciones de usuarios de opiáceos y sus características pueden necesitar revisión para incluir a las personas con seguro privado.
- Los usuarios de opiáceos con SIDA representan un subconjunto detectable dentro de la población asegurada, lo que sugiere el potencial de alcance dirigido.

01:17Drug Dependence
Medications are typically administered to achieve therapeutic effects. Some drugs can modify an individual's mood and perception, frequently resulting in various enjoyable experiences. However, this can result in drug dependency, a condition marked by continuous drug use despite potential negative consequences. Drug dependency primarily falls into two categories: psychological and physical dependence. Psychological dependence occurs when the pleasurable feelings induced by the drug...
01:02Prescription, Nonprescription and Orphan Drugs
Prescription drugs require a prescription from a medical practitioner and can only be obtained from a pharmacy. They have many applications, including treating pain, anxiety, and hypertension.
The misuse and addiction to prescription drugs is a growing problem that can affect people of all age groups, specifically teenagers. This can happen when prescription medications are used in ways not intended by the prescriber, such as taking someone else's prescription or using medication for...

01:22Opioid Receptors: Overview
Opioid receptors, including the mu (μ, MOR), delta (δ, DOR), and kappa (κ, KOR) types, belong to the rhodopsin family of G protein-coupled receptors. These receptors are located throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems and in non-neuronal tissues such as macrophages and astrocytes. Opioid receptor ligands can be categorized into agonists or antagonists. Highly selective agonists include [d-Ala2, MePhe4, Gly(ol)5]-enkephalin or DAMGO for MOR, [D-Pen2, D-Pen5]-enkephalin or DPDPE for...
01:25Analgesia and Pain Management
Pain is critical to various clinical pathologies, provoking an urgent need for effective management. Pain, whether acute or chronic, is a complex neurochemical process. Its alleviation depends on the type, with nonopioid analgesics effective for mild to moderate pain, such as musculoskeletal or inflammatory pain, while neuropathic pain responds best to anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, or serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. For severe acute or chronic pain, opioids may be...
01:20Opioid Analgesics: Morphine and Other Natural Cogeners
Opioids are a class of drugs that mimic endogenous opioid peptides and act on opioid receptors, and help in pain relief. These compounds are classified as natural, synthetic, or semi-synthetic. Natural opioids, like morphine, codeine, and thebaine, are derived from the opium poppy plant (Papaver somniferum or Papaver album) and are termed opiates. Synthetic opioids are artificial, while semi-synthetic opioids combine natural and synthetic compounds. Morphine, a prototypical opioid, possesses a...
01:15Opioid Analgesics: Synthetic and Semisynthetic Opioids
Synthetic and semisynthetic opioids are pivotal in pain management and tackling opioid addiction. Semisynthetic opioids, including morphinans (morphine derivatives), oxycodone, oxymorphone, hydrocodone, and hydromorphone, have improved pharmacokinetic profiles compared to morphine. Additionally, heroin and 6-MAM (6-Monoacetylmorphine) show better CNS penetration than morphine due to heightened lipid solubility. Hydromorphone, a potent opioid, undergoes hepatic metabolism to form the active...
