Abstract
Purpose: Life engagement encompasses concepts such as life fulfillment, well-being, and participation in meaningful activities, encompassing cognitive, physical, social, and emotional dimensions. Patients with MDD experience impaired functioning across multiple domains of life engagement and have ranked concepts related to life engagement and fulfillment as important predictors of treatment success. Post-hoc analyses of three clinical trials of patients with MDD treated adjunctively with brexpiprazole have reported a significantly greater improvement in life engagement. This study investigated improvements in life engagement among patients with MDD following initiation of brexpiprazole treatment using a real-world dataset.
Patients and methods: Information was extracted from semi-structured clinical notes of the Mental Status Examination (MSE) of patients in a real-world setting to develop an outcome measure for quantifying life engagement of psychiatric patients. Measures of life engagement and its four sub-domains (emotional, physical, social, and cognitive) were calculated at each clinical visit for 624 adult patients with MDD during the 6 months following brexpiprazole initiation. Paired t-tests assessed differences between the index event and time periods within 6 months of the index event. Kaplan-Meier survival analyses were used to quantify the improvement in life engagement scores following brexpiprazole initiation.
Results: The study identified 54 clinical features associated with life engagement. Statistically significant improvements were observed from as early as 1 month following brexpiprazole initiation, with 20.6%, 37.9%, and 53.9% of the patients demonstrating improved life engagement scores within 1, 3, and 6 months, respectively. The improvements were particularly apparent for the emotional and social sub-domains.
Conclusion: The results of this study provide evidence of improved life engagement following brexpiprazole initiation in a real-world dataset.
