ABSTRACT
Background:
Patients with asthma experience more physical, psychological, and financial burdens; a link between asthma and suicidality has been reported in research.Purpose:
This study analyzed the medical utilization and comorbidity before their self-injurious behavior in patients with asthma.Methods:
We enrolled 186,862 patients newly diagnosed with asthma between 1999 and 2013 from the National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan. A total of 500 case subjects had ever conducted self-injurious behaviors during the study period. Based on a nested case-control study, each case was matched with 10 controls derived from the asthma cohort to analyze differences between them and their medical use models.Results:
The results indicated that, compared to the control group, the cases presented higher frequencies of outpatient visits and hospitalizations. Regarding comorbidity, the cases had more cardiovascular diseases (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]=1.58; p<0.001), bipolar disorder (aOR=2.97; p<0.001), depression (aOR=4.44; p<0.001), and sleep disorder (aOR=1.83; p<0.001) than the controls.Conclusion:
The evidence-based information serves as a reference for medical staff to reduce the occurrence of self-injurious behavior in patients with asthma.
