Abstract
Introduction

This study evaluates the physical health of patients with schizophrenia and analyzes the change in the percentage of patients with evaluations in the known diabetes and cardiovascular risk predictors before and 6 months after the dissemination of the “Consensus on Physical Health in Schizophrenia Patients”.

Material and methods

This is an epidemiological non-interventional and transversal study, in which 229 psychiatrists evaluated 1,193 clinical records of patients with a diagnose of schizophrenia according to ICD-10, attended in the psychiatry consultations planned in January and September of 2007. Study results were analyzed using descriptive statistics.

Results

1,193 evaluable patients were included, with a mean age of 39.7±11.6 years, diagnosed of schizophrenia 15.0±10.3 years ago, and a 65.90% were men. The presence of concomitant diseases was 39.98%, being hypercholesterolemia (46.33%), hypertriglyceridaemia (33.54%) and arterial hypertension (26.00%) the most frequent. After the dissemination of the Consensus, the percentage of patients who had all the physical measurements taken increased by 13.75%. Forty eight per cent of the psychiatrists were considered as being aware of the Consensus. The percentage of measurements taken was higher within the psychiatrists who were aware of the Consensus (17.32%) than within those who were not aware of it (10.33%).

Conclusions

The results of this study show an increase of the physical health control from patients with schizophrenia after the dissemination of the Consensus, which should improve an integral approach of these patients to ensure a similar life expectancy, quality of life and function to the general population.

Resumen
Introducción

Este estudio evalúa la salud física de los pacientes con esquizofrenia y analiza el cambio en el porcentaje de pacientes con evaluaciones en los conocidos predictores de diabetes y riesgo cardiovascular antes y 6 meses después de la difusión del «Consenso Español sobre la Salud Física del Paciente con Esquizofrenia».

Material y métodos

Se trata de un estudio epidemiológico de corte transversal no intervencionista, en que 229 psiquiatras evaluaron 1.193 historias clínicas de pacientes diagnosticados de esquizofrenia según CIE-10, atendidos en las consultas de psiquiatría programadas primero en enero y posteriormente en septiembre de 2007. Los resultados del estudio se analizaron mediante estadística descriptiva.

Resultados

Se incluyeron 1.193 pacientes evaluables, con una edad media de 39,7±11,6 años, diagnosticados de esquizofrenia desde hacía 15,0±10,3 años, y un 65,90% eran hombres. La presencia de enfermedades concomitantes fue del 39,98%, siendo hipercolesterolemia (46,33%), hipertrigliceridemia (33,54%) e hipertensión arterial (26,00%) las más frecuentes. Tras la difusión del Consenso, aumentó en un 13,75% el porcentaje de pacientes a los que se realizaron todas las mediciones de salud física. El 48,5% de los psiquiatras se consideraron conocedores del Consenso. El porcentaje de evaluaciones realizadas fue superior entre los psiquiatras conocedores del Consenso (17,32%) que entre aquellos que no lo conocían (10,33%).

Conclusiones

Los resultados de este estudio muestran un aumento del control de la salud física de los pacientes con esquizofrenia tras la difusión del Consenso, que mejoraría el abordaje integral de estos pacientes para garantizar una esperanza de vida, calidad de vida y funcionamiento similares a los de la población general.
