RESUMO

Objective: Pharmacotherapeutic Follow-up is the Professional Pharmaceutical Care Service aimed at detecting Drug-Related Problems for the prevention and resolution of negative medicine outcomes. The Dader Method is considered a clear and simple tool to develop Pharmacotherapeutic Follow-up. This research aims to analyze the evolution of the international scientific production related to Pharmacotherapeutic Follow-up and the Dader Method to show the current situation of this Professional Pharmacy Assistance Service. In addition, from the data obtained, we give a critical perspective on the implementation of the Dader Method in Community Pharmacy, considering its advantages and disadvantages based on the published scientific literature. Methods: Using bibliometrics tools, indicators were obtained to analyze the international production of scientific articles on Pharmacotherapeutic Followup and the Dader Method during the period (1999-2022) through the Scopus database. Results: The results showed a growth in the international scientific production of publications on Pharmacotherapeutic Follow-up, obtaining 30,287 papers, placing the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and Spain as the five most productive countries. The publication of 83 papers on the Dader Method places Spain with the highest number of publications, followed by other Spanish or Portuguese speaking countries, among which Brazil and Colombia have the most prominent number of published papers in Latin America. The most frequent international journal covering the topic of Pharmacotherapeutic Follow-up was the American Journal of Health- Pharmacy (12.4%), while on the Dader Method, the journal Pharmaceutical Care Spain (21.7%) is in the first position, followed by Farmacia Hospitalaria (8.4%). Conclusion: The publications on the Dader method highlighs the greater productivity of the University of Granada and the author María José Faus Dáder. The inclusion of patients in the PTF service using the Dader Method, is more frequent in the hospital context, and is based on the presence of defined chronic pathologies (mainly diabetes), polymedication or specialized care follow-up, with elderly population being the most represented in all cases.(AU)

RESUMO

Objetivo analizar el papel desempeñado por el farmacéutico clínico y su impacto en el ámbito de los programas de optimización de antimicrobianos ante la sospecha de alergia a antibióticos beta-lactámicos.Método se realizaron 2 búsquedas bibliográficas independientes. Se encontraron un total de 35 artículos incluyéndose 12. Se analizaron los artículos incluidos y se recogieron variables de eficacia, seguridad y aplicabilidad de herramientas de evaluación a pacientes con sospecha de alergia a beta-lactámicos. Además, se analizó la variación en el consumo y en el perfil de prescripción de antibióticos alternativos. Resultados los estudios seleccionados analizaron cuestionarios, desetiquetado, test intradérmicos y pruebas de provocación oral realizados por farmacéuticos. Se hallaron diferencias significativas en la variable principal de eficacia en 4 estudios incluidos a favor de la intervención farmacéutica. En un estudio cuasi experimental, la utilización de cefazolina aumentó tras la intervención farmacéutica (65 vs. 28%; p < 0,01). En otro estudio cuasi experimental, la dosis diaria definida media de aztreonam y la media de días de terapéutica por 1.000 pacientes/día disminuyeron (21,23 vs. 9,05; p < 0,01) y (8,79–4,24; p = 0,016), pre y postintervención, respectivamente, aumentando las desescaladas antibióticas (p ≤ 0,01). En otro estudio, disminuyó la prescripción de antibióticos de uso restringido (42,5 vs. 17,9%; p < 0,01) y en otro, la utilización de antibióticos profilácticos prequirúrgicos alternativos a cefazolina (81,9 vs. 55,9%; p < 0,01). En otro estudio, el tiempo medio por entrevista fue de 5,2 minutos por paciente. No se reportaron eventos adversos en ningún estudio. Conclusiones la intervención del farmacéutico en la evaluación del paciente con sospecha de alergia a beta-lactámicos resulta eficaz, segura y aplicable a la práctica clínica (AU)


Objective To analyze the role played by the clinical pharmacist and its impact in antibiotic stewardship facing suspected allergy to beta-lactam antibiotics. Method We performed two different independent bibliographic searches. A total of 35 articles were found, and the final number included in the study was 12. We analysed the articles and collected variables of efficacy, safety and applicability of evaluation tools applied to patients with suspected allergy to beta-lactams. Also, the variation in the consumption and prescription profile of alternative antibiotics was analyzed. Results The selected studies analysed questionnaires, allergy delabeling, intradermal tests and oral challenge tests performed by pharmacists. Significant differences in the efficacy endpoint were found in 4 studies in favour of pharmaceutical intervention. In the study of Kwiatkowski et al, cefazolin use increased in surgical patients after pharmacist intervention (65 vs. 28%; p < 0.01). In a quasi-experimental study, the mean defined daily dose of aztreonam and the mean days of therapy per 1000 patients/day decreased (21.23 vs 9.05, p <0.01) and (8.79–4.24, p = 0.016), pre and post-intervention, respectively, increasing antibiotic de-escalations (p ≤ 0.01). In another quasi-experimental study, the prescription of restricted-use antibiotics decreased (42.5% vs. 17.9%, p < 0.01) and the use of pre-surgical prophylactic antibiotics alternative to cefazolin (81.9% vs 55.9%, p<0.01) in another study. Other study showed that the mean time per interview was 5.2 minutes per patient. No adverse events were reported in any study. Conclusion The pharmacist intervention in the evaluation of the patient with suspected allergy to beta-lactams is effective, safe and feasible to implement on daily clinical practice (AU)

RESUMO

Objetivos el seguimiento farmacoterapéutico (SFT) realizado por el farmacéutico clínico puede enmarcarse dentro de 3 actividades: la identificación, la resolución y la prevención de eventos adversos a medicamentos. Estas deben ajustarse a los requerimientos y los recursos de cada institución, generando la necesidad de desarrollar procedimientos que aumenten la eficiencia del SFT y garanticen la seguridad del paciente. Los farmacéuticos clínicos de la Red de Salud UC-CHRISTUS Chile desarrollamos un Proceso Estandarizado de Evaluación Farmacoterapéutica (PEEF). El objetivo principal del estudio fue evaluar el impacto de esta herramienta en términos del número de evaluaciones e intervenciones de los farmacéuticos clínicos y secundariamente determinar el ahorro de costos potenciales y directos asociados a las intervenciones en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos (UCI). Método estudio cuasi-experimental que evaluó la frecuencia y tipo de evaluaciones e intervenciones realizadas por los farmacéuticos clínicos en unidades de pacientes adultos de la Red UC-CHRISTUS, previo y posterior a la utilización del PEEF. La distribución de variables se evaluó mediante el test Shapiro–Wilk, la asociación entre el uso del PEEF y el número de evaluaciones e intervenciones fue realizada mediante el test Chi cuadrado. La evaluación de costos asociados a las intervenciones del farmacéutico clínico en UCI se realizó utilizando la metodología propuesta por Hammond et al.10. Resultados el total de pacientes evaluados pre- y pos-PEEF fue de 1.781 y 2.129, respectivamente. Las evaluaciones e intervenciones en el periodo pre-PEEF fueron 5.209 y 2.246, en el periodo pos-PEEF fueron 6.105 y 2.641, respectivamente. El aumento de las evaluaciones como de las intervenciones fue significativo solo en las unidades de mayor complejidad. La reducción potencial de costos estimados en el periodo pos-PEEF en UCI fue de 492.805 dólares americanos. ... (AU)


Objectives The Pharmacotherapeutic follow-up program (PFU) carried out by the clinical pharmacist can be categorized within 3 fundamental activities; identification, resolution and prevention of adverse drug events. These must be adjusted to the requirements and resources of each institution, developing procedures to increase PFU efficiency and to guarantee patient safety. The clinical pharmacists of UC-CHRISTUS Healthcare Network developed a Standardized Pharmacotherapeutic Evaluation Process (SPEP). The main goal of our study is to evaluate the impact of this tool through the pharmacist evaluation number and pharmacist interventions number. Secondarily to determine the potential and direct cost savings associated with the pharmacist interventions in an Intensive care unit (ICU). Methods A quasi-experimental study evaluated the frequency and type of pharmacist evaluation and pharmacist interventions performed by clinical pharmacists in adult patients units of UC-CHRISTUS Healthcare Network, before and after the implementation of SPEP. The distribution of variables was evaluated using the Shapiro–Wilk test and the association between the use of SPEP and the pharmacist evaluation and pharmacist interventions number was performed using the Chi-square test. The cost evaluation associated with pharmacist interventions in the ICU was carried out using methodology proposed by Hammond et al. Results A total number of 1,781 patients was evaluated before and 2,129 after the SPEP. The pharmacist evaluation and pharmacist interventions number in the before-SPEP period were 5,209 and 2,246. In the after-SPEP period were 6,105 and 2,641, respectively. The increase in both the pharmacist evaluation and pharmacist interventions number was significant only in critical care patients. The potential cost saving in after-SPEP period in the ICU was USD 492,805.... (AU)

Objective To develop a checklist to facilitate pharmaceutical care for patients with interstitial lung disease who require or are undergoing treatment with antifibrotic drugs. Method Five hospital pharmacists developed an initial list of 37 items divided into 4 blocks: 1) First visit, which included general patient data and data from the first treatment; 2) Follow-up visits, assessing aspects of the follow-up of the treatment with nintedanib or pirfenidone; 3) Telepharmacy, consisting of the evaluation of the inclusion of patients in a program of this type, course of the disease, and identification of the contact with the pharmacy service; 4) Non-pharmacological treatment and patient information. To decide its potential inclusion in the checklist, two rounds of the Delphi were carried out in which the panelists had to assess the degree of agreement of each proposed item according to its “utility”, which was the determining criterion for its inclusion, and its “applicability”. Results 48 hospital pharmacists were contacted, 30 (63%) agreed in writing to participate, 28 (58%) completed the first round of the Delphi, and 27 (56%) completed the second round. After the first round of the Delphi the questionnaire was amended and comprised 40 items. Of the 40 items evaluated after the two rounds of the Delphi, there were two that, based on utility, the participants did not reach consensus for inclusion in the checklist: The one referring to “History of surgical intervention, specifically abdominal surgery in the last 4 weeks” (finally kept on the checklist due to its involvement in the indication of nintedanib) and to make recommendations on “Relaxation”. No consensus was reached on their applicability for two of the items: “Patient stratification according to the Spanish Society of Hospital Pharmacy (SEFH) chronic patient model” and “Collection of Results Reported by the Patient”.

RESUMO

Introducción: En su rol de educador sanitario el farmacéutico realiza Intervenciones puntuales en enfermedades crónicas como la Intervención Farmacéutica Educativa (IFE) que puede ser aplicada en la Unidad de Salud de la Familia. (USF) . Objetivo: Evaluar la IFE en pacientes con lepra que finalizaron el tratamiento farmacológico entre 2011 y 2017 en Unidades de Salud de la Familia (USF) de cinco distritos del departamento central. Método: Estudio cuasi experimental, participaron 34 pacientes que finalizaron el tratamiento farmacológico contra la lepra. Se realizaron tres entrevistas domiciliarias con cada uno de ellos. Se utilizó un cuestionario de elaboración propia para medir conocimientos sobre la enfermedad, tratamiento y transmisión, mientras que para medir calidad de vida se utilizó el cuestionario SF-36 antes y después de la IFE. Resultados: En la tercera entrevista los pacientes mejoraron conocimientos, se obtuvieron mayores porcentajes de respuestas correctas en ítems como, reacciones de la lepra 100%, causas de las reacciones 82,4 %, frecuencia de control médico posterior al tratamiento 61,8%, duración del seguimiento 97%, manifestación de signos de lepra en contactos hasta 10 años después del contagio 97,1% y evaluación de contactos por personal de salud 97,1%. En el item estado de salud general mejoró la puntuación. Conclusiones: Los resultados han demostrado que los pacientes que finalizaron el tratamiento contra la lepra intervenidos, mejoraron sus conocimientos en ciertos aspectos. Esto evidencia la utilidad de la IFE como estrategia de educación sanitaria que podría implementarse en Unidades de Salud de la Familia. (AU)


Introduction: In his role as health educator, the pharmacist carries out specific interventions in chronic diseases such as the Educational Pharmaceutical Intervention (EPI) that can be applied in the Family Health Unit. (FHU) Objective: To evaluate (EPI) in patients with leprosy who completed pharmacological treatment between 2011 and 2017 in Family Health Units (FHU) of five districts of the central department. Method: It was carried out a quasi-experimental study in which 34 patients who completed pharmacological treatment against leprosy participated. Three home interviews were conducted with each patient. A self-made questionnaire was used to measure knowledge about the disease, treatment, transmission and quality of life through the SF-36 questionnaire before and after EPI. Results: In the third interview, the patients improved their knowledge; higher percentages of correct answers were obtained in items such as leprosy reactions 100%, causes of the reactions 82.4%, frequency of medical control after treatment 61.8%, duration of follow-up 97%, manifestation of signs of leprosy in contacts up to 10 years after infection 97.1% and evaluation of contacts by health personnel 97.1%. The score improved in the general health item. Conclusions: The results have shown that patients who completed leprosy treatment and underwent intervention improved their knowledge in certain aspects. This evidences the usefulness of IFE as a health education strategy and could be implemented in Family Health Units. (AU)

RESUMO

Background: The development of clinical pharmacy practice for humans and animals in the recent years has resulted in new goals and challenges for pharmacists that work to improve patient care, preventing medication related problems and optimizing resources. Currently, in Spain, there are so many dogs’ and cats’ vaccines from different manufacturers, with different microorganisms’ combination which are not readily identifiable. This fact makes us wonder if they are all necessary and/or convenient, and if they meet the criteria of the international guidelines. Objective: It aimed to examine the current situation of vaccination in dogs and cats in Spain, as well as if available vaccines are suitable, or if the technical data sheets match with the recommendations of consensus guides. Methods: All available vaccines in Spain were counted, evaluated and classified by using the search engine CIMAvet, into monovalent or combined and suitable or unsuitable according to their composition and vaccination schedule with guidelines WSAVA and COLAVAC. Results: As a result, we found 15 vaccines for dogs and 7 for cats, when attending to its composition. However, it gives rise to 46 vaccines for dogs and 14 for cats, if we regarded to the different manufacturers. The 69.6% of dogs’ and 57.1% of cats’ vaccines were considered unsuitable. Resulting as optimal combinations of microorganisms: Bordetella+Parainfluenza, Distemper+Adenovirus+Parvovirus, Leptospira alone and Rabies alone for dogs and Calicivirus+Herpes virus+Panleukopenia, Leukemia alone and Rabies alone for cats. Besides, it was observed that vaccines data sheet don´t meet with international schedule in percentages of 69.6% and 64.3% respectively. Conclusion: Only 28.6% of dogs’ and 42.9% of cats’ vaccines in Spain, are considered suitable, and 30.4% of dogs’ and 35.7% of cats’ vaccines data sheets fully agree with guidelines (AU)

RESUMO

Over a long history, the pharmacy was developed in close connection with Traditional Mongolian Medicine (TMM) as one part of it. TMM was Mongolia's only available healthcare method before Western medicine was introduced in the 19th century. The pharmaceutical sector, founded in 1923, played an essential role in the health system of Mongolia over the last hundred years. During the socialist time, the pharmaceutical sector was state-owned, and privatization started in 1990 when Mongolia transitioned to a market economy from a centrally planned economy. Mongolian current pharmaceutical sector is fully privatized except for public hospital pharmacies, and as of the end of 2021, 2822 pharmaceutical facilities were operating in Mongolia. Before the transition to the market economy, the functions of the pharmaceutical sector were mainly focused on the production, supply, compounding, and dispensing of drugs. Still, since 1990, the scope of pharmaceutical care services has changed. The pharmaceutical care service has been transferring from product-oriented to patient-centered care since the mid-1990s (AU)

RESUMO

Aims: This study aimed to evaluate whether pharmacotherapeutic follow-up in patients with T2DM in primary care interferes in metabolic control, cardiovascular risk, medication adherence and quality of life. Methods: A prospective clinical study was conducted at two Primary Health Units in Vitória, Espírito Santo, Brazil with 75 patients with T2DM between 40 and 70 years old. The parameters of metabolic control evaluated included fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, triglyceride/HDL-c and total cholesterol/HDL-c ratio. The cardiovascular risk was calculated based on the Framingham risk score. Adherence to medication was measured using the Brief Medication Questionnaire and quality of life was evaluated by applying the World Health Organization Quality of Life-Bref. Results: After the follow-up, there was a significant decreasing in cardiovascular risk (p=0.048) and total cholesterol/HDL-c ratio (p=0.024) and a discrete improvement in fast glucose and HbA1c levels. The quality of life scores increased for all domains (p<0.0001) and the treatment adherence also improved with 12.00% of the patients classified as low adherence in the final time, against 41.33% before the meetings. Conclusion: These results show the proposed pharmacotherapeutic follow-up influenced positively cardiovascular risk, adherence to therapy and quality of life in all domains, and, therefore, may contribute to delay the onset of the main chronic complications of the disease (AU)

RESUMO

Background: Clinical pharmacists are uniquely positioned to effectively bridge the gap between patients and physicians. However, there is still a lack of legislation and logistical enforcement in the provision of clinical pharmacy services. There is also lack of the effective collaboration between pharmacists and other healthcare professionals that ensures service standardization. The purpose of this study was to investigate healthcare professionals’ and students’ attitudes toward integrating clinical pharmacy services into primary care in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Methods: Face-to-face structured interviews were conducted with 545 healthcare professionals and medical students from various medical institutions across the UAE over the course of three months (January to March 2021), using a 10-statement questionnaire that measured their level of agreement on a 3-point Likert scale. Results: The study interview was successfully completed by all respondents (response rate 100%). More than half of all healthcare professionals (pharmacists, physicians, and nurses) agreed that there is a growing interest in clinical pharmacy services in the UAE, but 27% said clinical pharmacists have performed such a role. Both physicians and nurses expressed an interest in working with a clinical pharmacist (94% and 98 %, respectively). A majority of physicians and nurses (76 % and 67 %, respectively) agreed that the clinical pharmacist could improve the quality of medical care in a hospital setting. Conclusion: Despite the positive attitudes observed among other healthcare professionals toward collaboration and the use of clinical pharmacists’ skills, it was discovered that the latter had not yet fulfilled their roles. There are still numerous obstacles that prevent pharmacists from expanding their role to include and provide optimal direct patient care (AU)

RESUMO

Background: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) continues to be a major global public health issue. COVID-19 is highly contagious, and numerous mitigation strategies have recently been implemented to prevent the spread of this disease. Pharmacists utilize telecommunication technology to provide patient care services, thus increasing patient access to pharmaceutical services. There was a scarcity of evidence regarding the impact of telepharmacy on patient outcomes during COVID-19. Therefore, the aim of this study was to summarize the available research evidence on the impact of telepharmacy on patient outcomes during COVID-19. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted between January 2020 to September 2022 in Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, using appropriate terms on telepharmacy, COVID-19, and patient outcomes. Only studies that investigated the impact of telepharmacy on patient outcomes during COVID-19 were included. A systematic literature search was conducted between January 2020 to September 2022 in Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, using appropriate terms on telepharmacy, COVID-19, and patient outcomes. Only studies that investigated the impact of telepharmacy on patient outcomes during COVID-19 were included. Results: A total of three studies were included in the review. The telepharmacy services were offered via virtual anticoagulation clinic, retail community telepharmacy through information technology tools, and RxLive® telepharmacy program. All studies included in the review demonstrated that the provision of telepharmacy services during COVID-19 had an overall positive impact on the patient outcomes such as a reduction in the rates of hospitalisation and medication-related problems and maintaining the international normalized ratio values within the therapeutic range (AU)

RESUMO

Introducción: Las personas con cáncer necesitan recibir cuidados enfocados en aspectos biopsi-cosociales considerando la experiencia con la medicación (MedExp), la evolución de esta enfermedad y la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud (CRVS). Se presentan los resultados del Compre-hensive Medication Management (CMM) implanta-do en una institución colombiana especializada en oncología. Método: Diseño cuali-cuantitativo mixto observacional, descriptivo y prospectivo. Los datos se obtuvieron mediante triangulación de técnicas cualitativas (entrevistas en profundidad y observación participante) y cuantitativas (entrevistas clínicas con cuestionarios validados). Las entrevistas fueron presenciales y telemáticas por la pandemia (febrero-octubre 2021). Según los estándares del CMM, se generó la historia farmacoterapéutica, se registró la información biopsicosocial y se analizó la MedExp y la CVRS utilizando Medicines Optimisation Software®. Resultados: Se evaluaron los estándares antes y después de su implantación. La valoración inicial tuvo un análisis DAFO (Debilidades, Amenazas, Fortalezas, Oportunidades) consensuando estrategias para desarrollar CMM. El servicio de oncología derivó 17 personas, 10 mujeres aceptaron participar. Se completaron 30 entrevistas recogiendo narrativas sobre experiencias, observaciones y datos clínicos contextualizados a partir de las que se realizaron intervenciones biopsicosociales. Se resolvieron 2 condiciones clínicas, 2 mejoraron, 7 permanecieron estables, 9 mejoraron parcialmente y 4 no tuvieron mejoría. Tras recibir CMM, las participantes mejoraron su autopercepción en salud, y mejoraron principalmente las dimensiones de movilidad, realización de actividades cotidianas y ansiedad/depresión. Conclusiones: En la implantación del CMM se integró el modelo biopsicosocial considerando las experiencias reales de padecer cáncer alcanzando mejoría en condiciones clínicas y en CVRS de las pacientes atendidas. (AU)


Introduction: People with cancer need to receive care focused on biopsychosocial aspects, consid-ering medication experience (MedExp), disease and illness progression, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The results of the Comprehensive Medication Management (CMM) implemented in a Colombian institution specialized in oncology are presented. Method: Mixed observational, descriptive, and pro-spective qualitative-quantitative design. Data were obtained by triangulating qualitative (in-depth inter-views and participant observation) and quantitative techniques (clinical interviews with validated ques-tionnaires). Data was collected through interviews carried out face-to-face and remotely due to the pandemic situation during February-October 2021. According to CMM standards, the pharmacothera-peutic history was obtained, recorded, and MedExp and HRQoL were analyzed using Medicines Optimi-zation Software®. Results: The standards of pharmaceutical care practice were established through the implemen-tation of a SWOT analysis to support care process. The oncology service referred 17 people; 10 women agreed to participate. Thirty interviews were completed collecting narratives about experiences, observations and contextualized clinical data from which biopsychosocial interventions were carried out. Clinical results obtained were: 2 clinical condi-tions resolved, 2 improved, 7 stable, 9 partially im-proved and 4 unimprovement. After receiving CMM, the participants improved their self-perception of health, and HRQoL dimensions of mobility, daily activities, and anxiety/depression improved. Conclusions: Through the implementing of CMM, clinical conditions related to the patients’ medica-tions were improved. Results guided the actions to be followed when implementing this biopsychoso-cial model in the institution. Providing benefits for patients and caregivers, in terms of avoiding the deterioration of quality of life despite suffering from of oncological diseases.

RESUMO

Introducción: La propuesta para elaboración de un protocolo de dispensación activa de antineoplási-cos orales para pacientes de novo responde a una necesidad detectada por el Servicio de Oncología y el Servicio de Farmacia de Consulta Externa y Urgencias del Hospital México. Actualmente los pacientes recién diagnosticados retiran los medica-mentos sin la dispensación activa por el farmacéu-tico, lo cual puede comprometer la adherencia al tratamiento. Objetivo: Proponer un protocolo de dispensación activa de antineoplásicos orales para pacientes de novo para la farmacia de consulta externa del Hospital México que le permita al personal farma-céutico brindar este servicio.Método: Se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica sobre los cánceres de próstata, pulmón y mama. Se seleccionaron los medicamentos a incluir en el programa. Se elaboró un protocolo de dispensación activa y los materiales educativos dirigidos a los pacientes atendidos por el Servicio de Farmacia de Consulta Externa y Urgencias del Hospital México con prescripción de antineoplásicos orales. Resultados: Se incluyeron 11 antineoplásicos ora-les no contemplados en otros servicios de atención farmacéutica del Hospital México. Se desarrolló el procedimiento de dispensación activa según los lineamientos de la Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social para medicamentos de compra. Se elabora-ron 11 boletines educativos para pacientes. Conclusiones: El protocolo de dispensación activa de antineoplásicos orales propuesto permitirá que la farmacia de consulta externa del Hospital México brinde este servicio de forma estandarizada a los pacientes.

Introduction: New patients prescribed with oral an-tineoplasics do not receive any indications on how to take their treatments properly. The outpatient pharmacy service of the Hospital México is in need for a protocol for active dispensing of oral antineo-plasics to promote therapy adherence. Objective: The aim of this work was to propose an active dispensing protocol of oral antineoplasics for the outpatient pharmacy service of the Hospi-tal México that enables pharmacists to offer this service to patients. Method: A literature review was conducted on pul-monary, prostate and breast cancer, as well as on different pharmaceutical care programs to develop the active dispensing protocol and the information materials for patients. Results: 11 oral antineoplasics were included in the program. A protocol for active dispensing of oral antineoplasics was developed, according to the guidelines of the Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social. Eleven patient information brochures were made. Conclusion: The active dispensing program of oral antineoplasics developed will allow the outpatient pharmacy service of the Hospital México to offer a standardize service to patients. (AU)

RESUMO

Pharmacy service is to provide individualized pharmaceutical care for patients, which should follow the current evidence-based pharmacy, and constantly verify the evidence and then produce new evidence. In pharmaceutical care, differences are often found in the efficacy and adverse reactions of drugs among individuals, even within individuals, which are closely related to patient's genetics, liver and kidney functions, disease states, and drug interactions. Back in the 1980s, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) has been applied to routinely monitor the blood drug concentration of patients taking antiepileptic drugs or immunosuppressants after transplantation to provide individualized dosage recommendations and accumulate a large amount of pharmacokinetic (PK)/pharmacodynamic (PD) data. As individualized pharmaceutical care proceeds, the concept of precision medicine was introduced into pharmacy services in combination with evidence-based pharmacy, PK/PD theories and big data to further promote the TDM technology and drugs, and carry out pharmacogenomics analysis. The TDM and pharmacogenomics have been applied gradually to the fields of antimicrobial, antitumor and antipsychotic drugs and immunosuppressants. Based on the concept of precision pharmacy, we adpoted approaches including PK/PD, quantitative pharmacology, population pharmacokinetics, and big data machine learning to provide more personalized pharmacy services, which is mainly for special patients, such as critical patients, patients with interaction risk of multiple drugs, patients with liver and renal insufficiency, pregnant women, children and elderly patients. As the service pattern of precision pharmacy has been constructed and constantly improved, better evidence in clinical practice will be produced to provide patients with better precision pharmacy service.

El servicio de farmacia se encarga de prestar atención farmacéutica personalizada a los pacientes. Los servicios de farmacia deben utilizar aquellas prácticas con mayor nivel de evidencia, y realizar una continua validación de dicha evidencia antes de elaborar nuevas prácticas. En la terapia farmacológica, se observan diferencias inter e intra individuales respecto a los efectos terapéuticos y a las reacciones adversas de los medicamentos, lo que está estrechamente relacionado con las variaciones genéticas, la función hepática y renal, el estado de la enfermedad y la interacción entre medicamentos. Desde la década de los 80 del siglo pasado, se utiliza la monitorización terapéutica de fármacos (MTF) de forma rutinaria para controlar las concentraciones sanguíneas de fármacos antiepilépticos o de inmunosupresores postrasplante y elaborar recomendaciones de dosis personalizadas y recoger una gran cantidad de datos farmacocinéticos (PC)/farmacodinámicos (PD). Con el desarrollo de la atención farmacéutica personalizada, el concepto de medicina de precisión se introduce en la atención farmacéutica, combinando la farmacia basada en evidencias, los enfoques PC/PD y los macrodatos (big data), promover técnicas de MTF en medicamentos, y la realización de análisis farmacogenómicos. La MTF y la farmacogenómica se están aplicando de forma gradual en el tratamiento con antimicrobianos, antitumorales, antipsicóticos e inmunosupresores. Sobre la base del concepto de farmacia de precisión, utilizamos métodos de PC/PD, farmacología cuantitativa, farmacocinética poblacional y aprendizaje automático con big data para ofrecer una atención farmacéutica más personalizada, principalmente a pacientes con necesidades especiales, como los pacientes en estado crítico, con riesgo de interacciones farmacológicas múltiples, pacientes con insuficiencia hepática y renal, mujeres embarazadas, niños y ancianos...

RESUMO

Objetivo: analizar la literatura científica sobre investigaciones cualitativas que estudian la experiencia con la medicación (MedExp) y las intervenciones farmacéuticas relacionadas que aportan cambios en la salud de los pacientes. A través del análisis de contenido de esta revisión de alcance se pretende: 1) comprender cómo analizan los farmacéuticos la MedExp de sus pacientes que reciben Comprehensive Medication Management (CMM) y 2) explicar cuáles categorías establecen y cómo explican las dimensiones individuales, psicológicas y culturales de MedExp. Métodos: la revisión de alcance siguió las recomendaciones PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews. Se hizo una búsqueda en Medline (Pubmed), SCOPUS, Web of Science y Psycinfo para identificar investigaciones sobre MedExp de pacientes atendidos por farmacéuticos y que cumplieran con estándares de calidad, Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research. Se incluyeron artículos publicados en inglés y español. Resultados: se identificaron 395 investigaciones cualitativas, se excluyeron 344. En total 19 investigaciones cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión. Concordancia entre los revisores, índice de kappa 0,923; IC 95% (0,836-1,010). Las unidades de análisis de los discursos de los pacientes se relacionaron con una construcción de la MedExp en el transitar de las personas con sus medicamentos, la influencia que tiene en la experiencia de enfermar, la conexión con aspectos socioeconómicos y las creencias. A partir de la MedExp, los farmacéuticos plantearon propuestas culturales, redes de apoyo, a nivel de políticas sanitarias, y brindar educación e información acerca de la medicación y la enfermedad. Adicionalmente, se identificaron características de las intervenciones como modelo dialógico, relación terapéutica, toma de decisiones compartidas, abordaje integral y derivaciones a otros profesionales.

Objective: Analyze scientific literature on qualitative research that studies the medication experience -MedExp- and related pharmaceutical interventions that bring changes in patients’ health. Through the content analysis of this scoping review, we intend to: 1) understand how pharmacists analyze the MedExp of their patients who receive Comprehensive Medication Management and 2) explain which categories they establish and how they explain the individual, psychological and cultural dimensions of MedExp. Methods: The scoping review followed recommendations from PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews. Medline (Pubmed), SCOPUS, Web of Science, and Psycinfo were used to identify research on MedExp from patients attended by pharmacists; and that they comply with quality standards, Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research. Articles published in English and Spanish were included. Results: 395 qualitative investigations were identified, 344 were excluded. In total, 19 investigations met the inclusion criteria. Agreement between reviewers, kappa index 0.923 95% CI (0.836-1.010). The units of analysis of the patients' speeches were related to how they were progressing in their medications and how it was built through MedExp, the influence it has on the experience of becoming ill, the connection with socioeconomic aspects, and beliefs. Based on MedExp, the pharmacists raised cultural proposals, support networks, health policies, and provide education and information about medication and disease. Additionally, characteristics of the interventions were identified, such as a dialogic model, therapeutic relationship, shared decision-making, comprehensive approach, and referrals to other professionals.

RESUMO

Objetivo: El propósito de este estudio es evaluar las intervenciones farmacéuticas (IF) realizadas sobre PRM y los factores asociados a su aceptación. Método: Se trata de un estudio descriptivo y transversal que analizó las IF realizadas a pacientes adultos de dos UCI de Fortaleza, Brasil, en 2019. Las IF se analizaron en las categorías cantidad de fármaco y estrategia farmacológica, utilizando la clasificación propuesta por Sabater et al. Los fármacos se clasificaron además por el Sistema de Clasificación Anatómica, Terapéutica, Química y por la clasificación de Fármacos de Alta Vigilancia (FAV). Resultados: Se incluyeron 305 pacientes, siendo la mayoría del sexo masculino (55,1 %), ancianos (52,8 %) y atendidos en la UCI quirúrgica (51,4 %). Se analizaron 1.317 IF y se aceptaron el 88,0 %, siendo la sustitución de uno o más fármacos (28,0 %) y la adición de uno o más fármacos (27,7 %) las más frecuentes. La clase terapéutica más prevalente fue antiinfeccioso de uso sistémico (24,1 %) y los FAV estuvieron implicados en el 21,7 % de las IF. Se observó asociación entre las IF aceptadas e ingreso en UCI clínica (p<0,0001), FAV (p=0,0013), sustitución de uno o más fármacos (p=0,0062) y la clase sustitutos sanguíneos y soluciones de perfusión (p= 0,0187). Conclusiones: Se realizaron y aceptaron un elevado número de IF, lo que refuerza la importancia del farmacéutico en la revisión de las prescripciones médicas en UCI. (AU)


Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmaceutical interventions (PI) performed in PRM and the factors associated with their acceptance.Method: This is a descriptive and cross-sectional study that analyzed PIs performed on adult patients from two ICUs in Fortaleza, Brazil, in 2019. PIs were analyzed in the categories quantity of drug and pharmacological strategy, using the classification proposed by Sabater et al. The drugs were also classified by the Anatomical, Therapeutic, and Chemical Classification System and by the High Surveillance Drugs (FAV) classification.Results: 305 patients were included, most of them male (55.1 %), elderly (52.8 %) and treated in the surgical ICU (51.4 %). 1,317 PIs were analyzed and 88.0 % were accepted, being to replace one or more drugs (28.0 %), to add one or more drugs (27.7 %) and to change the dose (24.8 %) the most frequent types. The most prevalent therapeutic class was anti-infectives for systemic use (24.1 %) and AVFs were involved in 21.7 % of the PIs. An association was observed between PIs accepted and admission to the clinical ICU (p<0.0001), AVF (p=0.0013), substitution of one or more drugs (p=0.0062) and the class of blood substitutes and perfusion solutions. (p= 0.0187).Conclusions: A high number of PIs were performed and accepted, which reinforces the importance of the pharma-cist in the review of medical prescriptions in the ICU. (AU)

RESUMO

Introducción. El objetivo del estudio es determinar la prevalencia de los resultados negativos asociados a la medicación (RNM) y reacciones adversas a medicamentos (RAM) que tienen los pacientes que acuden al servicio de urgencias (SU) de un centro de salud. Método. Estudio observacional exploratorio, de corte transversal, en pacientes con RNM que consultan en un servicio de urgencias. La información, acorde con las variables de interés, se recolectó con un instrumento diseñado y evaluado para ello. Se aplicó un modelo de regresión logística multivariante sobre los RNM encontrados, para determinar las variables más importantes que predisponen a la aparición de RNM. Además, se determinó la evitabilidad de RNM (criterio de Baena et al.), la gravedad de RNM (clasificación de Schneider) y la causalidad de RAM (algoritmo de Naranjo). Resultados. Un total de 158 pacientes fueron incluidos en el estudio. La prevalencia de visitas al SU motivados por RNM fue 35,0 % (55 pacientes) y de RAM fue de 5,1 % (8 pacientes). El 88,0 % de los RNM se consideraron evitables y el 74,0 % fueron de gravedad leve. Por otra parte, el 37,5 % (n=3) de RAM fueron clasificadas como evitables y el 50,0 % como probables. El modelo logístico multivariado indica una posible asociación entre los RNM con bajos niveles de escolaridad, la utilización de plantas medicinales y el número de enfermedades concomitantes. Conclusiones. La visita de 1 de cada 3 pacientes al servicio de urgencias está asociado a un RNM; mientras que 1 de cada 20 lo está a una RAM. Otros estudios son necesarios (AU)


Introduction. The aim of the study is to determine the prevalence of negative outcomes associated with medication (NOMs) and adverse drug reactions (ADRs) occurring in the emergency department (ED) of a health centre.Method. An exploratory observational, cross-sectional study of patients with NOMs consulting in an ED. According to the variables of interest, the information was collected with an instrument designed and evaluated for this pur-pose.A multivariate logistic regression model was applied to the NOMs and found the most important variables predis-posing to the appearance of NOM. In addition, the avoid ability of NOM (Baena et al. criteria), the severity of NOM (Schneider classification) and the causality of ADR (Naranjo algorithm) were shown.Results. A total of 158 patients were included in the study. The prevalence of visits to the ED due to NOM was 35.0 % (55 patients) and ADR was 5.1 % (8 patients). Overall, 88.0 % of the ADRs were considered avoidable and 74.0 % were of mild severity. On the other hand, 37.5 % (n=3) of suspected ADR were classified as avoidable and 50.0 % as probable. The multivariate logistic model indicates a possible association between NOMs with lower levels of schooling, the use of medicinal plants and the number of diseases.Conclusions. The visit of 1 in 3 patients to the emergency department is associated with a NOM, while 1 in 20 is associated with an ADR. Further studies are needed. (AU)

RESUMO

Background: Immunochromatographic rapid tests in pharmacies allow the discovery of specific antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 or viral antigens and provide a broader and more effective screening of the virus. However, in many countries, this process is still not well defined. In this sense, the perception of pharmacists about these screening practices presents an overview of how the service is being carried out in the country. Objective: This study was to evaluate the performance of rapid immunochromatographic tests and their clinical results in community pharmacies in northern Brazil. Method: A retrospective study was carried out between May 2020 and December 2021 in community pharmacies in the northern region of Brazil. Participants were 18 years of age or older, of both sexes, who spontaneously sought the SARS-CoV-2 rapid testing service at pharmacies located in the municipality of Belem and who had had close contact with the virus or symptoms infection-related. Data were expressed as median and range or as frequency of occurrence. Chi-square t-test and Fisher’s exact test were used to compare variables. The accepted significance level was 5%. This study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee (number: 4,865,206). Results: A total of 78,849 patients were recruited into the study. Most patients, 37,847 (48%), were tested antibody positive for SARS-CoV-2. There were no severe signs and symptoms of the disease. The results showed the great demand for carrying out the rapid test in pharmacies and these places could contribute to the understanding of this health establishment, to curb the speed of SARS-CoV-2 dissemination.
