Résumé

To measure the incidence of long-term benzodiazepine receptor agonist (BZRA) use among individuals with anxiety, mood and/or sleep disorders. To identify factors associated with long-term use following the first prescription. This was a population-based retrospective cohort study using administrative databases in Manitoba, Canada. Individuals with anxiety/mood or sleep disorder who received their first BZRA between 1 April 2001 and 31 March 2015 were included. Long-term use was defined as ≥180 days. Logistic regression modelling was used to examine predictors of long-term use. Among 206 933 individuals included, long-term BZRA use in the first episode of use was 4.5% (≥180 days) following their first prescription. Factors associated with ≥180 days of use included male sex (adjusted OR (aOR) 1.33, 95% CI 1.27 to 1.39), age ≥65 (aOR 5.15, 95% CI 4.81 to 5.52), income assistance (aOR 1.68, 95% CI 1.55 to 1.81), previous non-BZRA psychotropic (aOR 1.93, 95% CI 1.83 to 2.02) or opioid use (aOR 1.16, 95% CI 1.11 to 1.22), high comorbidity (aOR 1.43, 95% CI 1.32 to 1.55), high healthcare use (aOR 1.46, 95% CI 1.33 to 1.60) and psychiatrist prescriber (aOR 2.11, 95% CI 1.93 to 2.32). Less than 1 in 20 patients use BZRAs ≥180 days in their first treatment episode. Several factors were associated with long-term use following the first prescription and further investigation into whether these factors need to be considered at the point of prescribing is warranted. In light of these findings, future research should examine the predictors of cumulative repeat episodes of BZRA exposure.
