Different factors related to the patients may influence this figure. AIM To identify determinant factors for smoking cessation after one year of treatment and to determine if bupropion and nicotine substitutes are effective in smoking cessation treatments. MATERIAL AND METHODS Follow up of 68 patients that attended a smokers clinic at a General Hospital. The patients filled up a questionnaire which included demographic, morbid and smoking habits data. They were subjected to a psychiatric interview to determine their treatment. One year later, patients were contacted by telephone and were asked if they remained without smoking. RESULTS After one year, 41% of patients responded that they were abstinent. On univariate analysis, male gender appeared as a protective factor associated to abstinence. On multivariate analysis, the use of bupropion appeared as a protective factor. A high score on the automatic item ...
Resumen La comorbilidad entre trastornos del animo (TA) y trastornos por uso de sustancias (TUS) ... more Resumen La comorbilidad entre trastornos del animo (TA) y trastornos por uso de sustancias (TUS) es frecuente, empeora el pronostico de ambos cuadros y dificulta su tratamiento. El reconocimiento y manejo de sintomas animicos en usuarios de sustancias significa un desafio en la practica clinica. Si bien existen los trastornos animicos secundarios a la patologia por consumo, la evidencia muestra que la mayor parte de las veces en que ambas patologias coexisten, el trastorno animico es primario, por lo tanto, el uso de sustancias activo no debiese impedir un tratamiento oportuno del TA, sin descuidar el manejo especifico del uso de sustancias, ya que el tratamiento del cuadro afectivo por si solo no resuelve el TUS. Existe acuerdo en la necesidad de realizar un tratamiento integrado de ambos trastornos, que incorpore intervenciones farmacologicas y psicoterapeuticas ya validadas para el tratamiento de ambos trastornos por separado, y especialmente aquellas que han mostrado efectividad en la comorbilidad. El tratamiento debe tener un enfoque en la recuperacion, que promueva la adherencia y reinsercion social. Se requiere mayor investigacion sobre el pronostico y el tratamiento de la comorbilidad entre Trastorno animicos y por uso de sustancias, y el fortalecimiento de la red de salud general y salud mental en la pesquisa y manejo de estos cuadros.
