ABSTRACT

Objective:

To determine the variation in the pharmacotherapy complexity index in HIV+ patients after hospital admission.

Method:

A retrospective, single-center study with HIV+ patients on antiretroviral treatment (ART) who were admitted to hospital between 2008 and 2015 were conducted. Demographic, analytical, clinical and pharmacotherapy variables were collected, as well as those about the use of healthcare resources. The primary endpoint was the variation in the overall complexity index after a hospital admission, measured through the MRCI tool (University of Colorado). There was also an analysis of the variation in adherence to ART, and of the causes that led to an increase in pharmacotherapy complexity after hospitalization.

Results:

The study included 146 patients (84.9% male) with 45.3±9.1 years as mean age; 30.8% of these patients had experienced an admission to hospital in the previous year, with a median stay of seven days (IQR 4-12,5). The mean overall complexity before hospital admission was 14.5±7.2 vs. 16.5±8.0 after admission, with a significant difference (1.97 [CI=0.85;3.09]). The percentage of patients adherent to ART before admission was 58.3% vs. 41.8% after admission (p=0.023). The only factor associated to an increase in complexity was having five or more chronic drugs prescribed before admission (OR=3.146 [1.045-9.471]).

Conclusion:

The overall pharmacotherapy complexity increased after hospital admission, reducing the adherence to ART. Chronic treatment prescribed before admission was the only factor associated with an increase in complexity after admission (AU)
RESUMEN

Objetivo:

Determinar la variación del índice de complejidad farmacoterapéutico en pacientes VIH+ tras un ingreso hospitalario.

Método:

Estudio unicéntrico, retrospectivo de pacientes VIH+ en tratamiento antirretroviral (TAR) que sufrieron un ingreso durante 2008-2015. Se recogieron variables demográficas, analíticas, clínicas, farmacoterapéuticas y de utilización de recursos sanitarios. La variable principal fue la variación del índice de complejidad global tras un ingreso hospitalario, medida a través de la herramienta MRCI (Universidad de Colorado). Además, se analizó la variación de la adherencia al TAR y se analizaron las causas que originaron un incremento de la complejidad farmacoterapéutica tras la estancia hospitalaria.

Resultados:

Se incluyeron 146 pacientes (84,9% hombres) con una media de edad de 45,3±9,1 años. El 30,8% de los pacientes habían registrado un ingreso en el año previo, con una mediana de duración de 7 días (IQR 4-12,5). La media de complejidad global previa al ingreso fue de 14,5±7,2 frente a 16,5±8,0 después del mismo, con una diferencia significativa (1,97 [IC 0,85; 3,09]). El porcentaje de pacientes adherentes al TAR fue 58,3% frente al 41,8%, posterior al ingreso, (p=0,023). El único factor asociado al aumento de la complejidad fue tener prescrito cinco o más fármacos de manera crónica antes del ingreso (OR=3,146 [1,045-9,471]).

Conclusión:

La complejidad farmacoterapéutica global aumentó tras el ingreso disminuyendo la adherencia al TAR. El tratamiento crónico prescrito antes del ingreso fue el único factor asociado a un aumento de complejidad tras el mismo (AU)
