Antecedentes. Distinguir entre los cambios que normalmente ocurren en el estado del ánimo y aquellos presentes en el trastorno depresivo no es una tarea fácil, por esta razón se han propuestos mecanismos e instrumentos para mejorar la detección de estos trastornos en pacientes de atención primaria.
Objetivos. Evaluar si la detección sistemática rutinaria con instrumentos de tamizaje, con o sin sistemas de seguimiento y manejo integrado, es más efectiva que la atención usual para identificar pacientes con depresión, facilitar su tratamiento, y mejorar los resultados clínicos en atención primaria.
Materiales y métodos. Se llevó a cabo una búsqueda de estudios de casos y controles, cohortes y controlados aleatorizados, revisiones sistemáticas, y meta-análisis en las bases de datos MEDLINE, Cochrane, PsycINFO, y EMBASE desde enero de 1976 hasta el 30 de abril de 2013.
Resultados. La evidencia mostró que muchos casos de depresión no son detectados. Los médicos de atención primaria (MAP) logran tasas de detección del trastorno depresivo entre el 30% y 40%, sin utilizar herramientas adicionales para el diagnóstico como las escalas de una, dos y tres preguntas. Los pacientes con síntomas menos severos y más jóvenes son los menos detectados.
Conclusiones. El tamizaje para depresión a nivel de atención primaria, con retroalimentación del resultado, puede incrementar el reconocimiento del trastorno por parte del MAP. Sin embargo, el efecto de la retroalimentación sobre el tratamiento y los resultados en cuanto a mejoría de los síntomas o remisión son muy pobres.
Background. The distinction between normal mood changes and mood changes related to the spectrum of depressive disorders is not an easy task. Hence, several mechanisms and tools to improve the detection of these disorders in primary health care have been designed and tested.
Objectives. To evaluate whether systematic detection with screening instruments, with or without monitoring and integrated management, is more effective than usual care to identify patients with depression, to facilitate their treatment and to improve clinical outcomes in primary care.
Materials and methods. A search of case-control studies, cohort studies and randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews and meta-analyses in MEDLINE, Cochrane, PsycINFO, and EMBASE was carried out between January 1976 and April 30, 2013.
Results. The evidence showed that many cases of depression were not detected. The detection rates of depressive disorder by primary care physicians was between 30% and 40% (range 7-70%), when they proceeded without using additional tools for the diagnosis such as scales of one, two or three questions. Younger patients and with less severe symptoms were those less detected.
Conclusions. The screening for depression in primary care with feedback can increase the recognition of the disorder by primary health care physicians. However, the effect of feedback on the treatment and outcomes, in terms of clinical improvement or remission is very poor.
