| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Atypical antipsychotics are indicated for specific psychiatric conditions; however, they are frequently used for US Food and Drug Administration-nonapproved indications. OBJECTIVE: This study assessed the types of medical diagnoses associated with atypical antipsychotic prescriptions in commercial health care plans. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study used the OptumInsight commercial data set from January 2008 to June 2011. The index date was defined as the earliest date of prescription for the atypical antipsychotics aripiprazole, olanzapine, quetiapine, risperidone, and ziprasidone, from January 1, 2009, through June 30, 2010. Medical claims during a 2-year period (12 months before and 12 months after the index date) were used to identify relevant diagnostic codes from the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Edition, Clinical Modification associated with the antipsychotic prescription. A logistic regression analysis was conducted to examine the predictors of use of atypical antipsychotics without a relevant diagnosis, that is, schizophrenia, bipolar, or major depressive disorder (MDD). RESULTS: Of 18,352 patients included in the analysis, 3593 (19.5%) who filled a prescription for atypical antipsychotics did not have an approved diagnosis. Off-label utilization varied, with approximately a quarter of patients with prescriptions for quetiapine (24.1%), risperidone (23.1%), or olanzapine (21.8%) being without a relevant diagnostic code, whereas proportions were lower for patients prescribed aripiprazole (14.0%) or ziprasidone (13.1%). Of those with a psychiatric disorder other than schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or MDD, approximately a third of prescriptions were for anxiety disorders, with similar proportions across all atypical antipsychotics. Patients were often prescribed quetiapine for substance abuse (22.7%), whereas patients with 'other psychiatric conditions' were prescribed risperidone (26.3%) or ziprasidone (25.0%). The logistic regression analysis indicated that patients prescribed olanzapine, quetiapine, or risperidone were significantly more likely to have no diagnostic code for schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or MDD compared with patients prescribed aripiprazole. CONCLUSION: Nearly a fifth of commercially insured patients were prescribed atypical antipsychotics, in particular, olanzapine, quetiapine, or risperidone, for diagnoses that were not aligned with US Food and Drug Administration-approved indications. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
