目的作者测量了美国 317 个大都市统计区 ECT 使用率的变化,并确定这种变化在多大程度上与医疗保健系统特征、人口因素和国家对 ECT 监管的严格程度相关。方法使用 APA 1988-1989 年专业活动调查的数据来估计大都市统计区的 ECT 使用率。使用多元回归分析来确定提供者、人口统计和监管因素对跨地区 ECT 使用变化的相对影响。结果 在接受调查的精神科医生中,有 17,729 名报告在研究期间使用 ECT 治疗了 4,398 名患者。 115 个大都市统计区没有报告使用 ECT。在其余 202 个大都市统计区域中,每年 ECT 使用率从每 10,000 人 0.4 到 81.2 名患者不等。大都市统计区域中 ECT 使用变化的最强预测因素是精神科医生的数量、初级保健医生的数量、人均私立医院床位数量以及国家对 ECT 监管的严格程度。 结论 ECT 使用率变化很大,高于大多数医疗和外科手术。在一些城市地区,获得 ECT 的机会似乎有限。 ECT 率变化的预测因素对于扩大该手术的覆盖范围具有重要意义。差异程度表明精神科医生对于 ECT 的使用仍然缺乏共识。关于精神科治疗有效性的更好数据可能会导致更广泛的专业共识,并可能缩小临床实践的差异。
ObjectiveThe authors measured the variation in ECT utilization rates across 317 metropolitan statistical areas of the United States and determined to what degree this variation is associated with health care system characteristics, demographic factors, and the stringency of state regulation of ECT.MethodData from APA's 1988-1989 Professional Activities Survey were used to estimate ECT utilization rates for the metropolitan statistical areas. Multiple regression analysis was used to determine the relative influence of provider, demographic, and regulatory factors on variation in ECT use across areas.ResultsAmong the psychiatrists surveyed, 17,729 reported treating 4,398 patients with ECT during the study period. No ECT use was reported in 115 metropolitan statistical areas. Among the remaining 202 metropolitan statistical areas, annual ECT use varied from 0.4 to 81.2 patients per 10,000 population. The strongest predictors of variation in ECT use across metropolitan statistical areas were the number of psychiatrists, number of primary care physicians, number of private hospital beds per capita, and stringency of state regulation of ECT.ConclusionsRates of ECT use were highly variable, higher than for most medical and surgical procedures. In some urban areas, access to ECT appears limited. Predictors of variation in ECT rates have implications for expanding access to the procedure. The extent of variation suggests psychiatrists continue to lack consensus regarding the use of ECT. Better data on the effectiveness of psychiatric treatments may lead to a broader professional consensus and may narrow variations in clinical practices.
