RESUMO

Objective: To estimate the prevalence of potentially inadequate drug prescriptions in elderly patients who attend the Emergency Department. Design: A multicentre randomized clinical trial. Patients over 65 years of age attending the Emergency Department are randomized to the control arm or the intervention arm. In the intervention arm, the pharmacist will review the chronic medication of patients and identify any potentially inadequate prescriptions, according to the STOPP-START criteria. The cases are discussed with the Emergency Specialist and, if considered adequate, a recommendation to modify the treatment is sent to the Primary Care Physician. The control arm will receive the standard of care, not including a systematic review of the adequacy to the STOPP-START criteria. This article presents preliminary outcomes regarding the prevalence of potentially inadequate prescriptions. Outcomes: Four hospitals participated in the study, and 665 patients were included (342 in the control arm and 305 in the intervention arm). The mean age in the control arm was 78.2 years vs. 78.99 in the intervention arm. The total number of medications received by patients at the time of inclusion was 3 275. Of these, 9.3% (CI 95%: 8.3-10.4) were considered potentially inadequate prescriptions according to the STOPP criteria. On the other hand, 81.1% (CI 95%: 76.8-85.4) of the patients evaluated presented potentially inadequate prescriptions. Conclusion: This study has detected a high prevalence of potentially inadequate prescriptions in elderly patients attending the Emergency Department (AU)


Objetivo: Estimar la prevalencia de prescripciones potencialmente inapropiadas en pacientes mayores que acuden a urgencias Diseño: Ensayo clínico multicéntrico aleatorizado. Los pacientes mayores de 65 años que acuden a urgencias son asignados al grupo control o al de intervención. En el grupo de intervención, el farmacéutico revisa la medicación crónica de los pacientes e identifica aquellas prescripciones potencialmente inapropiadas de acuerdo a los criterios STOPP START. Los casos se discuten con el médico de urgencias y, cuando se considera indicado, se envía una recomendación al médico de atención primaria para que modifique el tratamiento. El grupo control recibe los cuidados habituales, que no incluyen una evaluación sistemática de la adecuación a los criterios STOPP START. En este artículo se presentan resultados preliminares respecto a la prevalencia de prescripciones potencialmente inapropiadas. Resultados: En el estudio han participado cuatro centros y se han incluido 665 pacientes (342 en el grupo control y 305 en el de intervención). La edad media en el grupo control ha sido de 78,2 años frente a 78,99 en el grupo de intervención. El número total de medicamentos que recibían los pacientes en el momento de la inclusión fue de 3.243. De estos, el 9,3% (IC 95%: 8,3-10,4) fueron considerados prescripciones potencialmente inapropiadas de tipo STOPP. Por otro lado, el 81,1%. (IC 95%: 76,8-85,4) de los pacientes evaluados presentaron prescripciones potencialmente inapropiadas. Conclusiones: En el estudio se ha detectado una alta prevalencia de prescripciones potencialmente inapropiadas en pacientes mayores que acuden a urgencias (AU)

RESUMO

Objetivos. Analizar la efectividad y seguridad del nifedipino en gestantes con amenaza de parto prematuro (APP). Sujetos y métodos. Estudio observacional prospectivo de abril de 2003 a diciembre de 2004 y retrospectivo de enero a diciembre de 2008. Se incluyeron 106 gestantes a las que se aplicó el protocolo de APP del hospital. Se excluyeron 33 por diferentes motivos, principalmente falsos diagnósticos de APP. Resultados. La prolongación del parto fue superior a 48 h en el 56,2% (IC 95%: 44,8-67,5) y se administraron 2 dosis de betametasona en el 69,9% (IC 95%: 59,3-80,4). La incidencia de reacciones adversas maternas fue del 29,4% (IC 95%:7,8-51,2), principalmente hipotensión leve. De los 99 recién nacidos hubo 10 fallecimientos, principalmente por complicaciones infecciosas y bajo peso, y hubo un caso de encefalopatía hipóxico-isquémica. Conclusiones. La tocólisis con nifedipino es efectiva y segura si se respetan las precauciones de uso de forma estricta, registrando una baja incidencia de efectos adversos maternos y fetales (AU)


Objectives. To determine the effectiveness and safety of nifedipine as a tocolytic agent in pregnant women with preterm labor (PL). Subjects and methods. We performed a prospective observational study (April 2003 - December 2004) and a retrospective study (January- December 2008). A total of 106 pregnant women were included and the hospital PL protocol was applied. Thirty-three patients were excluded for different reasons, mainly because of a false PL diagnosis. Results. Pregnancy was prolonged by more than 48 hours in 56.2% [95% CI: 44.8-67.5] and 2 doses of betametasone were administered in 69.9% [95% CI: 59.3-80.4]. The incidence of maternal adverse reactions was 29.4% (95% CI: 7.8-51.2), mainly mild hypotension. Of the 99 newborns, 10 died, mainly because of infectious complications and low birthweight and there was one case of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Conclusions. Tocolysis with nifedipine is safe and effective if precautions for use are strictly respected. In this study, there was a low incidence of maternal and fetal adverse effects (AU)

RESUMO

Objetivo. Detectar y analizar el incumplimiento terapéutico en ancianos institucionalizados que se autoadministran su tratamiento en una residencia geriátrica. Valorar la intervención farmacéutica como herramienta útil para detectarlo. Material y métodos. Estudio observacional sobre una población de 386 residentes. Realización de entrevista clínica por el servicio de farmacia a aquellos que se administran su tratamiento. Elaboración de hoja de recogida de datos individual (datos demográficos, clínicos e incidencias encontradas). Entrevista sobre su tratamiento (medicamentos, dosis, posología, indicación y forma de administración) junto al test validado de cumplimiento de Morinsky-Green. Cálculo de incumplimiento comparando las respuestas con la información farmacoterapéutica del servicio de farmacia y la de prescripción médica de la historia clínica. Resultados. El 11% se administran su tratamiento, su edad media es de 81 años, todos acuden a la entrevista y se detecta incumplimiento en el 41%. El test detecta sólo al 55% de incumplidores. Los principales errores fueron incumplimiento de horario, dosificación incorrecta y dejar el tratamiento al encontrarse bien. El 39% fue incumplimiento involuntario. El grupo aparato cardiovascular fue el más implicado en errores. En el 44% de los pacientes el error podía tener repercusión clínica importante. Conclusiones. La entrevista permite detectar incumplimiento y analizarlo. El test, aunque específico, es poco sensible. Los errores principales fueron fáciles de subsanar y sin problemas de aceptación por los pacientes. Siendo fundamental en geriatría conservar la función y evitar la progresión de cualquier dependencia, e incluyendo esto la administración de medicamentos, la intervención farmacéutica es una herramienta útil para detectar y corregir errores e incrementar la adherencia(AU)


Objective. To detect and analyse therapeutic non-compliance in the institutionalised elderly patient who self-administer their own treatment in a geriatric residence. To assess the pharmaceutical intervention with a useful tool to detect non-compliance. Material and methods. An observational study on a population of 386 residents. A clinical interview was conducted on those who treated themselves by the Pharmacy Department. An individual case report card was prepared to record demographic and clinical data, and incidents found). An interview was conducted on their treatment (drugs, dose, posology, indication and administration form), together with the compliance test validated by Morinsky-Green. Non-compliance was calculated by comparing the responses with the pharmacotherapeutic information from the Pharmacy Department and from the medical prescription of the medical charts. Results. Eleven per cent of patients administered their own treatment. Their mean age was 84years and all attended the interview, which detected a non-compliance of 41%. The compliance test only detected 55% of the non-compliers. The main errors were non-compliance to the time, incorrect dosage and not taking treatment when feeling better. There was 39% involuntary non-compliance. The cardiovascular system drug group was the most involved in errors. The error could have a clinically significant repercussion in 44% of the patients. Conclusions. The interview helped to detect and analyse non-compliance. The test, although specific, was not very sensitive. The main errors were easy to correct and there no problems of acceptance by the patients. With it being fundamental to preserve function and to prevent progression to dependence, and adding to this the administering of drugs, pharmaceutical intervention is a useful tool to detect and correct errors and increase adherence(AU)
