PICO Question:
In inpatient adults with alcohol withdrawal syndrome, does symptom-triggered dosing of a benzodiazepine (BZD) versus fixed-schedule dosing result in lower CIWA-Ar scores and less total BZD use?
Literature Review:
Many of the studies favored the symptom-triggered approach. Several of the articles found that symptom-triggered dosing resulted in less total BZD use and shorter hospitalizations (Hoffman & Weinhouse, 2015; Skinner, 2014; Mirijello et al., 2015; Grgurich et al., 2014; Murdoch & Marsden, 2014; Benson, & Forrest, 2012). Another study found that symptom-triggered therapy resulted in less total BZD use, as well as, shorter duration of use and a reduction in the need of adjunctive medications (Taheri et al., 2014). The work of Hoffman and Weinhouse (2015) found that the symptom-triggered approach resulted in the same or better symptom relief than a fixed-schedule. A study by Duby et al. (2014) focused on critically ill patients and found decreased intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay and less time on mechanical ventilation with symptom-triggered therapy.
Other studies had mixed results. Two studies found that symptom-triggered dosing resulted in lower total BZD use and a shorter duration of use but found no difference in the incidence of complications (Sachdeva et al., 2014; Zeier et al., 2013). The study by Maldonado et al. (2012) found no statistically significant difference between the two dosing types regarding CIWA-Ar scores and total BZD usage. Another study also found no benefit to the symptom-triggered method, with no difference in the total BZD use, length of BZD use, or length of stay (Waye et al., 2015).
