Abstract
Objective: Psychiatric symptoms and mental disorders are common after Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19). Some drugs used to treat acute COVID-19 have psychiatric side effects. We assessed the psychiatric symptoms and mental disorders of patients treated for acute COVID-19 with hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), interleukin-6 receptor antagonists (anti-IL-6), and corticoids (CTC).
Methods: We evaluated 177 patients in a day hospital 4 months after acute infection.
Results: In a multivariate analysis, HCQ was associated with significant anxiety symptoms (odds ratio [OR] = 5.9, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] = 1.8-20.0, p = 0.003) and mental disorders (OR = 4.1, 95% CI = 1.2-13.9, p = 0.02). In a bivariate analysis with propensity matched cohorts, HCQ was associated with significant anxiety symptoms (9 patients [50.0%] with significant symptoms in the HCQ group versus 15 [20.1%] in the control group, OR = 3.8, 95% CI = 1.3-11.3, p = 0.01). Anti-IL-6 and CTC were not associated with significant psychiatric symptoms or mental disorders.
Conclusion: We recommend monitoring psychiatric symptoms, especially anxiety, in patients treated with HCQ during COVID-19 infection. Further studies with larger samples and prospective assessments are needed to confirm our results.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Psychopharmacology and Neuroscience (Clin Psychopharmacol Neurosci) launched in 2003, is the official journal of The Korean College of Neuropsychopharmacology (KCNP), and the associate journal for Asian College of Neuropsychopharmacology (AsCNP). This journal aims to publish evidence-based, scientifically written articles related to clinical and preclinical studies in the field of psychopharmacology and neuroscience. This journal intends to foster and encourage communications between psychiatrist, neuroscientist and all related experts in Asia as well as worldwide. It is published four times a year at the last day of February, May, August, and November.
