- The study explored the connection between depression, anxiety, and alcohol use disorder (AUD) in individuals diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) within an English primary care population.
- Researchers analyzed data from nearly 480,000 people diagnosed with T2DM from 2004 to 2019 to see how these mental health conditions occur in those with and without prior AUD.
- Results indicated that individuals with AUD were significantly more likely to experience new episodes of depression and anxiety after their T2DM diagnosis compared to those without AUD, even after adjusting for various confounding factors.
Purpose: Electronic health records (EHR) are valuable resources for health research; however, their use is challenging. A validated alcohol use disorder (AUD) codelist for UK primary care is needed to improve population-based research in this patient group. We aimed to develop an AUD codelist for use in the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) Aurum database, a UK EHR primary-care database.
