背景:2002 年妇女健康倡议 (WHI) 的研究结果发表后,更年期激素疗法 (MHT) 的处方急剧下降,但有关长期趋势和使用细节的研究很少。 方法:我们使用德国药物流行病学研究数据库 (GeParRD),其中包含来自大约 2500 万人的健康保险索赔数据。我们使用 2004 年至 2016 年的数据进行横断面分析,以确定 45-75 岁女性总体以及按给药类型和途径使用 MHT 的流行率。在纵向分析中,我们评估了 5 年多的 MHT 使用情况,并比较了不同时间段之间的模式。结果:从 2004 年到 2016 年,55-65 岁女性的全身 MHT 处方患病率下降了 > 60%,50 岁和 70 岁女性的全身 MHT 处方率下降了 > 50%。所有年龄段的大多数类型和给药途径的患病率均下降(-16% 至 -79%),但也有一些例外,例如局部 MHT(阴道雌激素)。 2012 年,在 50 岁女性中,6% 的女性在 49 岁时已接受全身性 MHT 治疗,而在其余女性中,16% 在 55 岁之前新接受全身性 MHT 治疗。在所有年龄段,2012-2016 年期间 5 年内所开出的全身性 MHT 累积剂量均低于 2005-2009 年(-6% 至 -46%)。结论:对于大多数类型的 MHT 和2004 年至 2016 年间,德国所有年龄段的患病率均大幅下降。每个 MHT 使用者的累积剂量也有所下降,表明使用时间有缩短的趋势。
Background: Prescribing of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) declined drastically after publication of the Women's Health Initiative's (WHI) findings in 2002, but studies on longer-term trends and details of use are scarce.Methods: We used the German Pharmacoepidemiological Research Database (GePaRD) containing health insurance claims data from similar to 25 million persons. Using data from 2004-2016, we conducted cross-sectional analyses to determine the prevalence of MHT use overall and by type and route of administration in women aged 45-75. In longitudinal analyses, we assessed MHT use over 5 years and compared the patterns between different time periods.Results: From 2004 to 2016, prevalence of systemic MHT prescriptions decreased by >60% in women aged 55-65 and by >50% in women aged 50 and 70 years old. Prevalence declined for most types and routes of administration at all ages (-16% to -79%) with some exceptions, for example, local MHT (vaginal estrogen). Among 50-year-old women in 2012, 6% were already prescribed systemic MHT at age 49 and of the remaining women, 16% were newly prescribed systemic MHT before age 55. At all ages, the cumulative dose of systemic MHT prescribed over 5 years was lower in the period 2012-2016 compared to 2005-2009 (-6% to -46%).Conclusions:For most types of MHT and all age groups, prevalence declined considerably between 2004 and 2016 in Germany. The cumulative dose per MHT user also decreased, suggesting a trend towards a shorter duration of use.
