ABSTRACT

Objetivo: describir la evolución y la seguridad de la utilización de colchicina en pacientes no ingresados con diagnóstico de COVID-19 leve-moderado en la Gerencia de Atención Integrada (GAI) de Albacete. Métodos: estudio observacional retrospectivo. De los 389 participantes incluidos en el primer reclutamiento, se seleccionaron 315 con datos válidos. La variable principal del estudio ha sido el fallecimiento o ingreso hospitalario en pacientes con diagnóstico de COVID-19 y tratamiento con colchicina. Se registraron variables sociodemográficas, clínicas y tratamientos y comorbilidades concomitantes. Resultados: fallecieron 6 (1,90%) pacientes y 49 (15,5%) requirieron ingreso hospitalario. A un 58,4% se les prescribió un antibiótico, siendo la azitromicina el más utilizado y el responsable en un 32,7% de las posibles interacciones. Un 34,5% y un 43% de pacientes recibieron heparinas de bajo peso molecular (HBPM) y corticosteroides respectivamente. En el 42,3% de pacientes no se tuvo en cuenta el valor del aclaramiento de creatinina al dosificar la colchicina. La edad elevada muestra una relación estadísticamente significativa con la gravedad de la clínica (68,5 versus 58,9) y con la variable recaída (ingreso + urgencias) (63,25 versus 58,54). Conclusiones: en nuestra muestra, la utilización de colchicina en pacientes ambulatorios no ha modificado el curso de la enfermedad en pacientes diagnosticados de COVID-19.(AU)


Objective: to describe the evolution and safety of the use of colchicine in outpatients with a diagnosis of mild-moderate COVID-19 in the Integrated Care Management of Albacete. Methods: retrospective observational study. Of the 389 participants included in the first recruitment, 315 subjects with valid data were selected. The main variable of the study has been death or hospital admission in patients diagnosed with COVID-19 and treatment with colchicine. Sociodemographic, clinical and treatment variables and concomitant comorbidities were recorded. Results: 6 (1.90%) patients died and 49 (15.5%) required hospital admission. 58.4% of the patients were prescribed an antibiotic, azithromycin being the most used and responsible for 32.7% of the interactions detected. 34.5% and 43% of the patients received LMWH and corticosteroids, respectively. In 42.3% of the patients, the value of creatinine clearance was not taken into account when dosing colchicine. High age shows a statistically significant relationship with the severity of the symptoms (68.5 vs 58.9) and with the variable relapse (admission + emergency room) (63.25 vs 58.54). Conclusions: in our sample, the use of colchicine in outpatients has not modified the course of the disease in patients diagnosed with COVID-19.(AU)

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the incidence of Covid-19 in patients who are chronic users of hydroxychloroquine. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Cross-sectional retrospective observational multicenter study in health areas and districts from Castilla La-Mancha and Andalucia. Of the 4451 participants included in the first recruitment, 3817 with valid data were selected. The main variable of the study is the presence or absence of Covid-19 infection by clinical, serological or polymerase chain reaction diagnosis. Sociodemographic and clinical variables and treatment and concomitant comorbidities were recorded. RESULTS: 169 (4,45%) patients had Covid-19 infection, of which 12 (7.1 %) died and 32 (18.9%) required hospital admission. Previous respiratory pathology was related to Covid-19 infection (P < .05). Maculopathy appears in 5.3% of patients and is significantly related to the dose of hydroxychloroquine consumed (P < .05). CONCLUSION: There is no relationship between chronic use of hydroxychloroquine and the incidence of Covid-19.


OBJETIVO: Analizar la incidencia de la enfermedad del coronavirus 19 (COVID-19) en pacientes consumidores crónicos de hidroxicloroquina. PACIENTES Y MÉTODOS: Estudio multicéntrico observacional retrospectivo transversal en Áreas de Salud de Castilla La-Mancha y distritos sanitarios de Andalucía. De los 4.451 participantes incluidos en el primer reclutamiento se seleccionaron 3.817 sujetos con datos válidos. La variable principal del estudio ha sido la presencia o ausencia de infección por la COVID-19 por diagnóstico clínico, serológico o por reacción en cadena de la polimerasa. Se registraron variables sociodemográficas, clínicas y tratamientos y comorbilidades concomitantes. RESULTADOS: Ciento sesenta y nueve (4,45%) pacientes presentaron infección por la COVID-19, de los cuales fallecieron 12 (7,1%) y 32 (18,9%) requirieron ingreso hospitalario. La enfermedad respiratoria previa se relacionó con la infección por la COVID-19 (p < 0,05). La maculopatía aparece en un 5,3% de los pacientes y está relacionada significativamente con la dosis de hidroxicloroquina consumida (p < 0,05). CONCLUSIÓN: No existe relación entre consumo crónico de hidroxicloroquina e incidencia de la COVID-19.

ABSTRACT

Metotrexato ha sido durante años ampliamente utilizado para el tratamiento de diversas enfermedades. El tratamiento con bajas dosis de metotrexato oral ha alcanzado gran aceptación para su uso en la artritis reumatoide debido a su eficacia y tolerabilidad. La toxicidad del metotrexato es la causa principal para la interrupción del tratamiento. Las complicaciones gastrointestinales son los efectos adversos más comunes del tratamiento con metotrexato oral a bajas dosis, seguido de la estomatitis, hepatotoxicidad, erupción cutánea, pérdida de cabello, toxicidad pulmonar y hematológica, aunque la pancitopenia es un efecto adverso raro de la terapia oral con bajas dosis. El factor de riesgo más importante para la toxicidad de metotrexato es la disminución de la función renal (AU)


Methotrexate has been widely used for many years in the treatment of a variety of diseases. Low-dose oral methotrexate therapy has gained wide acceptance for its use in rheumatoid arthritis because of its efficacy and tolerability. The toxicity of methotrexate is the main reason for cessation of treatment. Gastrointestinal complications are the most common adverse effects of low-dose oral methotrexate therapy, followed by stomatitis, hepatotoxicity, skin rash, hair loss, pulmonary and haematological toxicity, although pancytopenia is a rare adverse effect of low-dose oral methotrexate therapy. The most important risk factor for methotrexate toxicity is impaired renal function (AU)

ABSTRACT

En este artículo recogemos los principios éticos y legales cuando hemos de decidir sobre el uso de un medicamento en condiciones distintas a las de su ficha técnica. Los medicamentos no siempre están disponibles en formulaciones adecuadas para pacientes con dificultades para tragar o pacientes con sondas de alimentación enteral. Por lo tanto, la modificación de las formas farmacéuticas puede ser necesaria. Se proporciona una lista de inyectables que pueden ser administrados por vía enteral mediante sondas de alimentación o por vía oral cuando no hay alternativas disponibles. Sin embargo, la idoneidad para la administración oral o enteral puede variar ampliamente. En este trabajo no consideramos la vía rectal, como una vía enteral adecuada para la administración de inyectables (AU)


In this article we collect the ethical and legal principles when we have to decide on the use of a drug in conditions other than those on its data sheet. Medicines are not always available in formulations which are suitable for patients with swallowing difficulties or patients with enteral feeding tubes. The alteration of medication formulations may therefore be necessary. This text provides a list of injectables that can be administered orally or via enteral feeding tubes when there are no available alternatives. However, they vary widely in their suitability for oral or enteral feeding administration. In this paper we do not consider the rectal route, as an adequate enteral route for administration of injectables (AU)
