The effect of early psychotherapy and psychoactive medications on later hospitalizations for patients with a new diagnosis of adjustment disorder was examined. Commercial claims data from Truven Health MarketScan were used. Patient-level propensity score matching was performed, followed by fitting to an inverse probability of treatment weighted Cox proportional hazard model. Receipt of psychoactive medication is associated with an increased hazard of both later psychiatric hospitalization (HR=2.61 95% CI=2.07-3.28) and overall hospitalization (HR=1.12 CI=1.04-1.21). Specifically, benzodiazepines were associated with an increased hazard of later psychiatric hospitalization (HR=1.59 CI=1.02-2.51). By contrast, receipt of psychotherapy was associated with a small decrease in the hazard of later psychiatric hospitalization (HR=.85 CI=.73-.99) with no effect on hospitalizations overall. Early medication use for adjustment disorder treatment was persistently associated with higher levels of overall and psychiatric hospitalization compared to controls. This study suggests that an observed provider preference to treat more medically ill patients with medications may have deleterious long-run effects.
