ZMENA DIAGNOSTIKY SÚVISIACA S HRANÍM HAZARDNÝCH HIER.

Introduction: New knowledge was projected into the ICD-11 classification in clinical manifestation of mental disorder associated with gambling. The independent diagnostic category of gambling disorder according to ICD-11 should not be assessed, contrary to pathological gambling in ICD-10, if the onset of impaired control over gambling behaviour is corresponding to use of the methamphetamines. The aim of the study: To detect the prevalence of gambling/pathological gambling according to ICD-10 classification among methamphetamine users with dependence in treatment, and with selected micro case-illustrations indicate the necessity to revise the diagnosis by the implementation of new ICD-11criteria. Patients and methods: It was retrospective, descriptive, clinical study of the medical records of 178 patients treated for methamphetamine dependence with the addition of three selected micro case-illustrations, which provided the opportunity to present different diagnostic assessment according to ICD-11 and its patognomic significance. results: Gambling behaviour was detected in 30% of the patients treated for dependence on methamphetamines, in the same time 18% had the the diagnosis of pathological gambling according to ICD-10. The new diagnostic approach according to ICD-11 was documented with use of qualitative method by three micro case-illustrations. Discussion and conclusion: The findings of the study have shown the high prevalence of the impaired control over gambling behaviour among the patients in treatment due to dependence on methamphetamines, which in large part of them, had the neurobiological base due to the direct effects of dopamine on the CNS, so as it is sometimes in the treatment of Parkinson disease by dopamine agonists. According to ICD-11 it is not an independent diagnostic category, but it is only behavioural sign induced by psychoactive substance. Finally, the authors are discussing the consequences of the change in diagnostic assessment and the number of inevitable changes in the clinical practice after the adoption of ICD-11.
