6岁儿童中精神类药物、全身抗组胺药和镇咳药的使用情况:来自法国下莱茵地区的调查
2012/11/09
摘要
目的:在发达国家中,法国的药物使用是最多的。使用的药物中,在儿童中使用精神类药物一直是个倍受关注的问题。此外,基于安全性和疗效的考虑,国际权威机构在儿童使用镇咳药或感冒药方面也存在分歧。本调查于2009年在法国儿童中评价精神类药物、抗组胺药物和镇咳药物的使用情况,以及父母有关药物使用的知识。
方法:对2009年幼稚园中6岁儿童的代表性抽样进行调查。校医询问儿童父母,并由其父母完成标准化问卷调查。收集有关儿童及其家庭、以及过去12个月内的精神类药物、抗组胺药物和镇咳药物使用情况。基于解剖学、治疗学及化学(ATC)分类系统对药物进行分类。
结果:对来自5707名儿童的数据进行分析。至少使用1种精神类药物的儿童比例为0.68%(ATC编码N)。全身使用的抗组胺药物是最常使用的药物(ATC编码R06),使用该药物的儿童比例达17.54%。大部分的抗组胺药主要用于治疗咳嗽,而非失眠和易怒。
结论:在法国下莱茵地区,2009年儿童使用精神类药物较少。应该加强宣传使用抗组胺药物的替代药物来治疗咳嗽。

Abstract
PURPOSE: The use of drugs in France is among the highest in developed countries. Among them, psychotropic medication in children has always been a matter of concern. Furthermore, on the basis of concerns about safety and efficacy, international authorities have either advised against the use of cough and cold medication or considered such an action. This survey aims to assess the prevalence of use of psychotropic drugs, antihistamines and medications for cough as well as parents’ knowledge about the drugs used in 2009.
METHODS: The study is based on a representative sample of 6-year-old children who were in kindergarten in 2009. School physicians asked their parents to answer a standardized questionnaire. Data were collected about the child, his or her family, and the consumption of psychotropic drugs, antihistamines, and medications for cough in the past 12 months. The Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) classification system was used to classify the drugs used.
RESULTS: The data from 5707 children were analyzed. The proportion of children who consumed at least one psychotropic drug was 0.68% (ATC code N). Antihistamines for systemic use were by far the most frequently consumed drugs (ATC code R06), with a prevalence of 17.54%. The great majority of antihistamines for systemic use were meant to treat cough, not insomnia or agitation.
CONCLUSION: The use of psychotropic drugs was low in 2009 in the French region of Bas-Rhin. The promotion of alternatives to antihistamines for systemic use to treat cough should nevertheless be strengthened.
