Incidence of antiepileptic drug therapy and factors associated with their prescribing in outpatients with diabetic polyneuropathy.

Abstract:

AIMS:The goal of this retrospective cohort study was to analyze the incidence of, and factors associated with the antiepileptic drug (AED) therapy in the five years following the diagnosis of diabetic polyneuropathy in patients followed in Germany. METHODS:The study included patients aged 18-80 years with an initial diagnosis of diabetic polyneuropathy in 1238 general and diabetologist practices in Germany between January 2008 and December 2017 (index date). The main outcome of the study was the incidence of the AED therapy in the five years following the diagnosis of diabetic polyneuropathy. Adjusted Cox regression analyses were conducted to investigate the association between study covariates and the incidence of the AED therapy. RESULTS:The present study included 48,324 patients (mean [standard deviation] age 65.8 [10.6] years, 55.6% male). Within five years of the diagnosis of diabetic polyneuropathy, 16.4% of patients were prescribed at least one AED. The three most frequent drugs were pregabalin, gabapentin, and carbamazepine. Female sex (HR = 1.22), private health insurance coverage (HR = 1.22), follow-up in a general practice (HR = 1.85), HbA1c ≥10% (HR = 1.36), previous referral to a neurological practice (HR = 1.47), previous hospital admission (HR = 1.51) and depression (HR = 1.15) were positively associated with the incidence of the AED therapy. CONCLUSIONS:The incidence of the AED therapy was low in patients recently diagnosed with diabetic polyneuropathy in Germany. More research is warranted to understand the infrequent use of AEDs in diabetic polyneuropathy patients from this country.
