Guía de Práctica Clínica - No GES

Para el abordaje de Depresión en Adolescentes

ETD5

En adolescentes con diagnóstico de depresión, el Ministerio de Salud SUGIERE realizar intervención psicológica con frecuencia 1 vez a la semana por sobre 1 vez al mes.
Comentarios del Panel de Expertos:
►Pudiera ser favorable una mayor frecuencia de sesiones al inicio de la terapia, y luego ir distanciándolas a medida que el adolescente presente una evolución clínica favorable.

El panel de expertos analizó y debatió cada uno de las preguntas de la “Tabla de la evidencia a la decisión”, considerando tanto la evidencia de investigación, experiencia clínica, conocimiento de gestión o experiencia de los pacientes. Una vez consensuada la postura del panel respecto a las preguntas, emitieron un juicio seleccionando la opción de respuesta que mejor representaba la opinión del conjunto (destacada con color). Finalmente, cuando el panel emitió su juicio sobre todas las preguntas, se emitió la recomendación.

A continuación, se presenta la “Tabla de la evidencia a la decisión” con el resumen de los juicios, la evidencia de investigación evaluada, consideraciones adicionales y comentarios planteados por el panel.

 1.- ¿El problema es una prioridad?
No Probablemente no Probablemente sí Varía No lo sé

El problema ha sido definido como prioritario en el marco de las Garantías Explícitas en Salud (GES), régimen integral de salud que prioriza un grupo de patologías o problemas de salud, garantizando el acceso a tratamiento oportuno y de calidad.

 2.- ¿Qué tan significativos son los efectos deseables anticipados?
Triviales Pequeños Moderados Grandes Varía No lo sé

Grandes: El panel de expertos de la Guía estimó que los efectos deseables de «realizar intervención psicológica con frecuencia 1 vez a la semana» en comparación a «realizar intervención psicológica con frecuencia 1 vez al mes» son grandes, considerando la evidencia, experiencia clínica, conocimiento de gestión o experiencia de las personas con la condición o problema de salud. El panel agrega que desde su experiencia clínica el aumentar la frecuencia de sesiones posiblemente disminuye de sintomatología, previenen el riesgo suicida y mejora la funcionalidad psicosocial.

Mensajes clave en términos sencillos

Efectividad

Una revisión sistemática concluyó, mediante regresión logística, que había un aumento de la efectividad según frecuencia de sesiones. (Pendiente del efecto de 0,40 IC 95% 0,12 a 0,60).

⊕⊕◯◯1

Baja

Realizar intervención psicológica 1 vez a la semana, comparado con una vez al mes, podría aumentar la efectividad de la terapia psicológica, pero la certeza de la evidencia es baja.

GRADE: Grados de evidencia Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation.
* La estimación de la pendiente del efecto (slope estimate) es una manera de estimar la probabilidad de que exista un efecto de subgrupo por medio de la técnica de regresión (o metarregresión). Una pendiente de 0% significa que no existe ninguna diferencia atribuible al subgrupo evaluado. A mayor valor, mayor probabilidad de que exista un efecto de subgrupo atribuible a la variable de interés. Si el intervalo de confianza para este valor pasa por el valor “0” significa que esta diferencia no es estadísticamente significativa.
1 Se disminuyó la certeza de la evidencia en dos niveles, ya que proviene de una comparación indirecta mediante análisis de regresión logística, y porque no proviene de estudios en adolescentes.

Triviales: El panel de expertos de la Guía estimó que los efectos indeseables de «realizar intervención psicológica con frecuencia 1 vez a la semana» en comparación a «realizar intervención psicológica con frecuencia 1 vez al mes» son triviales o no relevantes, considerando la evidencia y experiencia clínica.

Pacientes Personas menores de 15 años con diagnóstico de depresión.
Intervención Intervención psicológica con frecuencia 1 vez a la semana.

Realizar intervención psicológica 1 vez a la semana, comparado con una vez al mes, podría aumentar la efectividad de la terapia psicológica, pero la certeza de la evidencia es baja.

GRADE: Grados de evidencia Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation.
* La estimación de la pendiente del efecto (slope estimate) es una manera de estimar la probabilidad de que exista un efecto de subgrupo por medio de la técnica de regresión (o metarregresión). Una pendiente de 0% significa que no existe ninguna diferencia atribuible al subgrupo evaluado. A mayor valor, mayor probabilidad de que exista un efecto de subgrupo atribuible a la variable de interés. Si el intervalo de confianza para este valor pasa por el valor “0” significa que esta diferencia no es estadísticamente significativa.
1 Se disminuyó la certeza de la evidencia en dos niveles, ya que proviene de una comparación indirecta mediante análisis de regresión logística, y porque no proviene de estudios en adolescentes.

Baja: Existe cierta incertidumbre respecto del efecto de «realizar intervención psicológica con frecuencia 1 vez a la semana» en comparación a «realizar intervención psicológica con frecuencia 1 vez al mes». La certeza de la evidencia general se basa en la certeza del desenlace de salud de efectividad, dado que es el único reportado.

Incertidumbre o variabilidad importantes Posiblemente hay incertidumbre o variabilidad importantes Probablemente no hay incertidumbre ni variabilidad importantes No hay variabilidad o incertidumbre importante

Probablemente no hay incertidumbre ni variabilidad importantes: En función de la evidencia de investigación, experiencia clínica, conocimiento de gestión o experiencia de las personas con la condición o problema de salud, el panel de expertos de la Guía consideró que probablemente no hay incertidumbre o ni variabilidad importante respecto a lo que escogería una persona informada de los efectos deseables e indeseables de «realizar intervención psicológica con frecuencia 1 vez a la semana» y «realizar intervención psicológica con frecuencia 1 vez al mes». La mayoría de las personas escogerían 1 vez a la semana. Sin embargo, podría verse afectada la intención de asistir dada la disponibilidad de horario de los centros actualmente en Chile, que en lagunos casos no son compatibles con los horarios de trabajo de los papás. Los adolescentes a veces tiene que faltar a clases. También puede influir la ruralidad y el acceso
