| Popis: | Background. Buprenorphine Maintenance therapy (BMT) is effective in improving follow-up rate in patients with Opioid Dependence Syndrome (ODS). However, there is very limited published literature regarding this from the Indian sub-continent. Aim. To compare follow-up rate in patients with opioid dependence syndrome who were on BMT with patients who were not on BMT. Method. Case files of patients (n = 248) registered at a tertiary care Psychiatric hospital from southern India with ODS, between 2005 to 2012, were reviewed. Basic demographic and management data of patients were noted. Details regarding follow up rate for a minimum of one-year after the initiation of the treatment was collected. R commander was used for analyzing the data. Result. 57 patients received BMT of which followup rate was 77% at 1month, 68% at 6months and 1year after initiation of treatment. 191 patients were not on BMT of which followup rate was 55% at 1month, 44% at 6months and 34% at 1year. There was significantly greater follow-up among patients of opioid dependence given BMT than patients who are not on BMT. Conclusion. BMT improves long term follow up rates in patients with ODS. |
