title = "The Effect of Antidepressants on Withdrawal in Patients with Alcohol Dependence: A Retrospective Study",
abstract = "The use of electronic health records has expanded in the past decades, with healthcare entities storing terabytes of patient health data. In this study, we investigated how these databases can be utilized to generate clinically relevant information. We used the Office of Addiction Services and Supports Client Data Systems data merged with the NYS Medicaid Data Warehouse to study the relationship of certain antidepressants on alcohol withdrawal (AW) rates in patients with alcohol dependence (AD). We found that in patients with AD, bupropion was associated with a significantly reduced rate of AW compared to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). This may be due to the ability of bupropion to inhibit dopaminergic reuptake. This retrospective study provides the advantage of being faster and less expensive than randomized controlled trials (RCTs).",
