RESUMO

Telepharmacy is defined as the practice of remote pharmaceutical care, using information and communication technologies. Given its growing importance in outpatient pharmaceutical care, the Spanish Society of Hospital Pharmacy developed a consensus document, "Guía de entrevista telemática en atención farmacéutica," as part of its strategy for the development and expansion of telepharmacy, with key recommendations for effective pharmacotherapeutic monitoring and informed dispensing and delivery of medications through telematic interviews. The document was developed by a working group of hospital pharmacists with experience in the field. It highlights the benefits of telematic interviewing for patients, hospital pharmacy professionals, and the healthcare system as a whole, reviews the various tools for conducting telematic interviews, and provides recommendations for each phase of the interview. These recommendations cover aspects such as tool/platform selection, patient selection, obtaining authorization and consent, assessing technological skills, defining objectives and structure, scheduling appointments, reviewing medical records, and ensuring humane treatment. Telematic interview is a valuable complement to face-to-face consultations but its novelty requires a strategic and formal framework that this consensus document aims to cover. The use of appropriate communication tools and compliance with recommended procedures ensure patient safety and satisfaction. By implementing telematic interviews, healthcare institutions can improve patient care, optimize the use of resources and promote continuity of care.

RESUMO

Objetivos. Analizar las modificaciones de la terapia antirre troviral (TAR) y su impacto económico en la práctica clínica diaria. Material y métodos. Estudio observacional, retrospectivo de los pacientes que iniciaron TAR entre 01/2017-12/2021 (se guimiento hasta 12/2022). Variables recogidas: TAR, duración, motivo del cambio y costes del tratamiento. Resultados. 280 pacientes iniciaron TAR. La mediana de durabilidad de la 1ª línea fue: 19,9 meses en 2017 (IC95% 13,9-25,9), 12,2 meses en 2018 (IC95% 4,7-19,7), 27,4 meses en 2019 (IC95% 6,8-48,1) y no se alcanzó la mediana para los años 2020 y 2021 (p p<0,001). De un total de 541 líneas prescri tas, la triple terapia con inhibidores de la proteasa se modificó en el 63,8% (81/127), seguido de los inhibidores de la integrasa 52,1% (159/305), mientras que, la terapia dual (DTG/3TC) solo en el 8,3% (7/84). De un total de 261 modificaciones, la simpli ficación/optimización 47,5% (124/261) fue el principal motivo, seguido de efectos adversos 21,8% (57/261), siendo el 2017 el único año donde ambos motivos se encontraban al mismo nivel. El impacto económico de los cambios supusieron una re ducción del coste medio de 34,0€ [-391,4 a +431,4] al mes/ paciente. El año 2019 es el único año donde estos cambios se asociaron con un incremento del coste adicional medio (23,4€ [-358,3 a +431,4]). Conclusiones. Dejando atrás el fracaso virológico, la sim plificación a regímenes de un solo comprimido y de mayor tolerancia han marcado la nueva la era TAR. Con un impacto económico que, a pesar del punto de inflexión del 2019, refleja una reducción progresiva de costes mantenida en el tiempo (AU)


Objectives. To analyze the modifications of antiretrovi ral therapy (ART) and their economic impact on daily clinical practice. Material and methods. Observational, retrospective study of patients who started ART between 01/2017-12/2021 (follow-up until 12/2022). Variables collected: prescribed ART, duration, the reason for the change, and treatment costs. Results. A total of 280 patients initiated ART therapy. The median durability of 1st line was: 19.9 months in 2017 (95%CI 13.9-25.9), 12.2 months in 2018 (95%CI 4.7-19.7), 27.4 months in 2019 (95%CI 6.8-48.1) and the median was not reached for the years 2020 and 2021 (p<0.001). Triple therapy with protease inhibitors was changed in 63.8% (81/127) of cases, followed by integrase inhibitors 52.1% (159/305), while dual therapy (DTG/3TC) only in 8.3% (7/84). The main cause of dis continuation was simplification/optimization 47.5% (124/261), followed by adverse effects 21.8% (57/261), with 2017 being the only year where simplification/optimization was at the same level as adverse effects. The economic impact of ART changes resulted in an average cost reduction of 34.0€ [-391.4 to +431.4] per month per patient. The year 2019 stands out as the only year where these changes were associated with an increase in mean additional cost (23.4€ [-358.3 to +431.4]). Conclusions. Optimization/simplification accounts for almost half of the reasons for TAR change, with an econom ic impact that, despite the inflection point of 2019, each year manages to exceed the previous one, achieving a progressive cost reduction maintained over time (AU)

RESUMO

Introducción: De acuerdo con la Organización Mundial de la Salud el Virus de la Inmunodeficiencia Humana (VIH) continúa siendo uno de los mayores problemas para la salud pública mundial. A día de hoy, la importancia de la adherencia al tratamiento continúa siendo el centro de atención de todos los profesionales sanitarios. La falta de adherencia supone un gran problema económico y sanitario. Método: Este estudio se centra en el servicio de atención farmacéutica (AF) realizado a los pacien-tes VIH en tratamiento con el comprimido coformulado dolutegravir/lamivudina (DTG/3TC) desde su comercialización en julio de 2019 hasta mayo 2021.Variables estudiadas: sexo, edad, adherencia, carga viral, recuento de linfocitos CD4, terapia anti-rretroviral (TAR) previa en paciente no naive, tratamientos concomitantes, interacciones, en pacientes no naive el motivo que ha conducido al cambio de TAR y los efectos adversos (EA) desarrollados. Fuente de datos: programa informático dispensación pacientes externos e historia clínica electrónica. Resultados: En el servicio de AF en la primera entrevista con el farmacéutico se tratan cinco aspectos: adherencia, EA, tratamientos y/o productos de herboristería concomitantes, interacciones y motivo de cambio de TAR. 62 pacientes iniciaron tratamiento con DTG/3TC: 24,1% (15/62) naive y 75,8% (47/62) no naive. El 100% de los pacientes naive presentaron una alta adherencia, solamente el 6,4% de los pacientes pretratados fueron identificados como no adherentes. Se encontró una contraindicación: hipérico. Conclusiones: Los pacientes presentan una alta adherencia, el tratamiento es efectivo y seguro. Se realiza el servicio de AF de forma eficaz. Conocemos la adherencia de nuestros pacientes y realizamos un estrecho seguimiento farmacoterapéutico. (AU)


Introduction: According to the World Health Organization, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) continues being one of the world's major public health problems. Currently, the importance of adherence to treatment continues being the focus of attention of health professionals. Lack of adherence is a major economic and health problem. Method: This study focuses on the pharmaceutical care service performed on all HIV patients (naive and non-naive) on treatment with the coformulated tablet dolutegravir/lamivudine (DTG/3TC) from its commercialization in July 2019 until May 2021. Variables studied: sex, age, adherence, viral load, CD4 lymphocyte count, previous antiretroviral therapy (ART) in non-naïve patients, concomitant treatments, interactions, the reason that led to the change of ART in non-naïve patient and the adverse effects developed. Results: In the first interview with the pharmacist in the pharmaceutical care service, five fundamental aspects are discussed: adherence, adverse effects, concomitant treatments and/or herbal products, interactions and reason for changing antiretroviral drugs in non-naive patients. 62 patients started treatment with DTG/3TC: 24.1% (15/62) naive and 75.8% (47/62) no naive. 100% of naive patients were highly adherent, only 6.4% of pre-treated patients were identified as non-adherent. Only one contraindication was found: hypericum. Conclusions: Patients are highly adherent, the treatment is effective and safe. The pharmaceutical care service is carried out efficiently. We are aware of our patients' adherence and carry out close phar-macotherapeutic monitoring. (AU)

RESUMO

The Spanish Society of Hospital Pharmacy Position Paper on Telepharmacy states that the inclusion of patients should take into account  ethical considerations and, therefore, be based on the concept of equity. Thus, it establishes that Telepharmacy should not be limited to specific  pathologies or medicines, but should be based on the individual needs of each patient: it also highlights the need to rely on selection or prioritisation models to help identify patients who can benefit from  Telepharmacy. The aim of this article is to present the Spanish Society of  Hospital Pharmacy Telepharmacy Patient Prioritisation Model, which establishes  key recommendations and a reference prioritisation model to guide  hospital pharmacists in the identification and prioritisation of patients  who are candidates for inclusion in Telepharmacy programmes. This model was  developed based on the experience of a group of experts in their clinical  practice as well as on a review of the main reference documents available in  this field. It comprises 25 criteria, grouped into 8 minimum inclusion criteria, 5 continuity criteria, and 12 recommended criteria. The latter criteria are divided  into high, medium, and low priority criteria. Patients are prioritised according  to their scores on meeting the recommended criteria, such that those with the  highest scores are given the highest priority. As stated in the Spanish Society  of Hospital Pharmacy Position Paper on Telepharmacy, pharmacotherapeutic  monitoring can be conducted via remote consultation without sending  medication, but not vice versa; thus, the 25 criteria defined apply to  Telepharmacy programmes in the area of the remote dispensing and informed  delivery of medicines, but only 19 of them apply to pharmacotherapeutic  monitoring programmes. The model presented is intended to be a reference  guide and should be adapted to the particular characteristics and  circumstances of each pharmacy service, depending on demand and available  resources.


La Sociedad Española de Farmacia Hospitalaria, en su Documento de  osicionamiento sobre Telefarmacia, establece que la inclusión de pacientes debe tener en cuenta consideraciones éticas y, por tanto, estar  basada en el concepto de equidad. Por ello, establece que la Telefarmacia no  debe restringirse por patologías ni medicamentos, sino en función de las  necesidades individuales de cada paciente, y destaca la necesidad de apoyarse en modelos de selección o priorización que ayuden en la  identificación de los pacientes que puedan beneficiarse de la Telefarmacia. El  objetivo de este artículo es presentar el "Modelo de priorización de pacientes  en Telefarmacia de la Sociedad Española de Farmacia Hospitalaria", que pretende establecer recomendaciones clave y un modelo de priorización de referencia que sirva de orientación a los farmacéuticos especialistas en farmacia hospitalaria para la identificación y priorización de pacientes candidatos a ser incluidos en programas de Telefarmacia. El modelo  a sido desarrollado en base a la experiencia de un grupo de expertos en su práctica clínica y a la revisión de los principales documentos de referencia disponibles en este ámbito y está conformado por un total de 25  criterios, agrupados en 8 criterios mínimos de inclusión, 5 criterios de  continuidad y 12 criterios recomendables. Estos últimos se dividen en criterios  de alta, media y baja prioridad. En función de las puntuaciones obtenidas del  cumplimiento de los criterios recomendables, se establece el orden de  prioridad de pacientes, de modo que aquellos que mayor puntuación obtengan  serán los más prioritarios. Tal como recoge el "Documento de Posicionamiento sobre Telefarmacia de la Sociedad Española de Farmacia Hospitalaria", puede  haber seguimiento farmacoterapéutico por teleconsulta sin envío de medicación, pero no al contrario, por lo que los 25 criterios definidos aplican a  programas de Telefarmacia en el ámbito de la dispensación y entrega informada de medicamentos a distancia, pero solamente 19 de ellos aplican para los programas de seguimiento farmacoterapéutico. El modelo que se  presenta ha sido concebido como un marco de referencia y deberá adaptarse a las características y circunstancias particulares de cada servicio de farmacia,  en función de la demanda y de los recursos disponibles.

RESUMO

Objetivos: Evaluar la efectividad y seguridad de darbepoetina α y epoetina β en la anemia asociada a ERC y estudiar los factores que influyen en la respuesta.Métodos: Estudio observacional, de cohortes, retrospectivo. Pacientes ≥18 años con ERC que inicia-ron tratamiento con AEE entre el 1 de enero 2014 y el 31 de diciembre 2015. Periodo máximo de seguimiento: 24 meses. Variables sociodemográficas, analíticas; de efectividad y relacionadas con la causa de fin de seguimiento. Análisis estadístico: modelos de regresión logística multivariante, regresión lineal múltiple. El estudio obtuvo dictamen favorable del Comité Ético de Investigación Clínica de Aragón (CEICA). Resultados: 198 pacientes: 59,1% varones, edad media: 75,3±12,4 años, 60% ERC estadio 4, Hb me-dia basal: 10,2±1,3 g/dL. El 71,2% inició darbepoetina α (dosis mediana: 18,7 (4,7-100,0) μg/semanal), el 28,8% epoetina β (6000,0 (466,7-20.000,0) UI/semanal). Los pacientes tratados con darbepoetina α presentaban estadios de ERC más avanzados (p<0,001); los que recibieron epoetina β más insuficiencia cardíaca (IC) (p=0,002) y cardiopatía isquémica (p=0,028). El 54,5% de los pacientes alcanzó el objetivo terapéutico a los 3 meses. El tratamiento con estatinas (OR:0,4 (IC95%: 0,174-0,996)) e insulina (OR:2,6 (IC95%:1,1-5,2)) se relacionaron con alcanzar la respuesta terapéutica. La Hb basal (Hb_b) y el Fe basal (Fe_b) influyeron en el ΔHb (%) (p<0,001 y 0,007 respectivamente). El 2,5% presentó un acci-dente cerebrovascular (ACV) isquémico en los 24 meses de seguimiento. El 35,9% (n=71) continuaba tratamiento con AEE a los 24 meses: 40,4% con darbepoetina α vs 24,6% con epoetina β (p=0,001). Conclusiones: Los AEE corrigen y mantienen la concentración de Hb de forma segura con dosis moderadas de AEE.(AU)


Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of darbepoetin α and epoetin β in anemia associat-ed with CKD and to study the factors that influence the response.Methods: It was carried out an observational, group and retrospective study. Patients ≥18 years of age with CKD who started treatment with ESA between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2015. Maximum period of follow-up: 24 months. Sociodemographic, analytical, effectiveness and related to the cause of end of follow-up variables. Statistical analysis: multivariate logistic regression models, multiple linear regression. The study obtained a favorable opinion from the Aragón Clinical Research Ethics Committee (CEICA).Results: 198 patients: 59.1% men, mean age: 75.3 ± 12.4 years, 60% stage 4 CKD, mean baseline Hb: 10.2 ± 1.3 g / dL. 71.2% started darbepoetin α (median dose: 18.7 (4.7-100.0) μg / weekly), 28.8% epoetin β (6000.0 (466.7-20,000.0) IU /weekly). The patients treated with darbepoetin α had more advanced stages of CKD (p <0.001); those who re-ceived epoetin β plus heart failure (HF) (p = 0.002) and ischemic heart disease (p = 0.028). 54.5% of the patients reached the therapeutic objective at 3 months. Treatment with statins (OR: 0.4 (95% CI: 0.174-0.996)) and insulin (OR: 2.6 (95% CI: 1.1-5.2)) were related to achieving the therapeutic response. Baseline Hb (Hb_b) and basal Fe (Fe_b) influenced ΔHb (%) (p <0.001 and 0.007, respectively. 2.5% had an ischemic cerebrovascular accident (CVA) in the 24-month follow-up. 35.9% (n = 71) continued treat-ment with ESA at 24 months: 40.4% with darbepoe-tin α vs 24.6% with epoetin β (p = 0.001). Conclusions: ESAs safely correct and maintain Hb levels with moderate doses of ESAs.(AU)

RESUMO

Introducción: Los inhibidores de la integrasa, y especialmente dolutegravir (DTG), son el tratamiento de primera línea antirretroviral por su eficacia y seguridad. Aunque en los ensayos pivotales la tasa de efectos adversos (EA) era baja (2-3%), en los estudios de vida real parece ser mayor, especialmente los EA neuropsiquiátricos. El objetivo fue determinar el porcentaje de EA e interrupción de DTG en nuestro centro y la relación con los antecedentes psiquiátricos. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo retrospectivo de pacientes que iniciaron DTG entre 2015-2017. Se registraron: interrupción del tratamiento, EA y enfermedad psiquiátrica. Se realizó seguimiento desde el inicio del del tratamiento con DTG y se registraron las hospitalizaciones y las visitas a urgencias y atención primaria. Fue autorizado por el Comité Ético de Investigación Clínica de Aragón. Resultados: Se incluyeron 283 pacientes, entre 11-87 años, 70% varones. El 21% naive. Interrumpieron el tratamiento con DTG el 24%, un 10% por EA. Se detectó un 5% de EA neuropsiquiátricos. Este grupo tenía más antecedentes psiquiátricos (62 vs. 41%; p=0,002) que el de pacientes que continuaron el tratamiento, y precisaron más visitas en atención primaria (18,8 vs. 8,4%; p=0,016) y urgencias (8,7 vs. 3,3%; p=0,061). Conclusión: Los pacientes que interrumpieron el tratamiento con DTG tenían más antecedentes psiquiátricos. Por ello, aunque se precisan más estudios, sería necesario valorar este antecedente previamente al tratamiento con inhibidores de la integrasa. Síntomas como ansiedad, insomnio o depresión pueden ser EA de DTG con una frecuencia mayor de la esperada. Ser identificados por los médicos de atención primaria y urgencias podría evitar una cascada de prescripción innecesaria.(AU)


Introduction: Integrase inhibitors and especially dolutegravir (DTG) are placed as a first-line antiretroviral treatment for their efficacy and safety. Although in the pivotal trials the rate of adverse effects (AEs) was low (2-3%), in real-life studies it appears to be higher, especially neuropsychiatric AEs. The objective is to determine the percentage of AEs and discontinuation of DTG in our site and the relationship with the psychiatric background. Methods: Retrospective descriptive study of patients starting DTG from 2015 to 2017. Discontinuation of treatment, AEs and previous psychiatric pathology were recorded. Follow-up is carried out since the beginning of the treatment, and hospitalizations and emergency room and primary care visits were registered. The study was authorized by the Ethics Committee for Clinical Research of Aragon. Results: Two hundred and eighty-three patients were included, between 11 and 87 years old, 70% male. 21% were naive. 24% of the patients discontinued treatment with DTG, 10% due to AEs. Neuropsychiatric AEs were detected in 5%. This group of patients had a more frequent previous psychiatric history (62 vs. 41%; P=.002) than the ongoing treatment group and they needed more visits to primary care (18.8 vs. 8.4%; P=.016) and emergency room (8,7 vs. 3.3%; P=.061). Conclusion: Patients who discontinued treatment with DTG had more psychiatric history. Although more studies are required, it is necessary to assess this background before starting treatment with integrase inhibitors. Symptoms such as anxiety, insomnia or depression can be DTG AEs more frequently than expected. Being identified by primary care and emergency physicians could avoid the unnecessary prescription of other medications.(AU)

RESUMO

Background HIV-HCV coinfection produces high morbi-mortality. Direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) have shown high efficacy, although special attention should be paid to the risk of drug interactions. However, due to the lack of representativeness of coinfected patients in clinical trials, it is important to know real-world results. Objective To evaluate DAA treatment effectiveness in coinfected patients. We also analyse safety profile of DAA treatment and drug interactions between HCV and HIV therapy. Setting Descriptive study carried in a tertiary hospital of Spain Method HIV-HCV coinfected patients treated with DAAs between November 2014 and June 2016 were included. Main outcome measure Efficacy was measured in terms of sustained virologic response at week 12 after the end of therapy. Adverse events that led to treatment discontinuation were registered to evaluate the safety profile, and also drug interactions between DAAs and antiretroviral treatment were evaluated. Results Main HCV genotypes were 1a (34.9%) and 4 (24.5%). 51.9% were HCV previously treated, 54.7% had grade 4 liver fibrosis. SVR12 was reported in 90.6%. HCV treatment was well tolerated and there were no discontinuations because of adverse events. 30.2% of HIV treatments had to be modified before DAA treatment was started due to interactions, HIV suppression was not compromised. Conclusion DAA treatment in coinfected patients seems to be highly effective and secure. Evaluation of drug interactions must be a priority in order to maximize effectiveness and avoid toxicity.

RESUMO

Background: The increasing number of HIV-patients and their complexity makes it necessary to develop risk classification tools to improve the optimization of resources. Objective: To design a risk-stratified model for pharmaceutical care (PC) in HIV-patients. Methods: A cross-sectional, multicenter study. An expert panel was created by Hospital Pharmacist experienced in PC for HIV-patients. The study was designed in 4 phases. The first phase included a review of literature and the development of a summary of the scientific evidence available. According to their score, patients were stratified into three levels of PC. In the second and third phases, a sample of patients was assessed and data information was recorded. The overall analysis also allowed pharmacists to define the actions to be applied at each level of priority. Finally, each stratification model was applied to a new sample of patients to verify their applicability and usefulness. Results: All variables included in the model were weighted in terms of their relative relevance compared to the rest. A sample of 215 patients was evaluated to obtain their score and distribution: Priority-1: score ≥ 32 and 10% of the sample; Priority-2: 18-31.9 and 30%; Priority-3: ≤ 17 and 60%. The PC interventions corresponding to each level of priority were classified into ‘pharmacotherapeutic monitoring’, ‘training, education and patient tracking’ and ‘coordination of all the healthcare team members’. Conclusions: This study supported the design and adaptation of a selection and stratification model for PC in HIV-patients as a tool to identify those who may benefit from priority intervention (AU)

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The increasing number of HIV-patients and their complexity makes it necessary to develop risk classification tools to improve the optimization of resources. OBJECTIVE: To design a risk-stratified model for pharmaceutical care (PC) in HIV-patients. METHODS: A cross-sectional, multicenter study. An expert panel was created by Hospital Pharmacist experienced in PC for HIV-patients. The study was designed in 4 phases. The first phase included a review of literature and the development of a summary of the scientific evidence available. According to their score, patients were stratified into three levels of PC. In the second and third phases, a sample of patients was assessed and data information was recorded. The overall analysis also allowed pharmacists to define the actions to be applied at each level of priority.Finally, each stratification model was applied to a new sample of patients to verify their applicability and usefulness. Results: All variables included in the model were weighted in terms of their relative relevance compared to the rest. A sample of 215 patients was evaluated to obtain their score and distribution: Priority-1: score ≥ 32 and 10% of the sample; Priority-2: 18-31.9 and 30%; Priority-3: ≤ 17 and 60%. The PC interventions corresponding to each level of priority were classified into "pharmacotherapeutic monitoring", "training, education and patient tracking" and "coordination of all the healthcare team members". CONCLUSIONS: This study supported the design and adaptation of a selection and stratification model for PC in HIV-patients as a tool to identify those who may benefit from priority intervention.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To determine the level of support, knowledge and perceptions of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) by Infectious Disease Specialists and Hospital Pharmacists in Spain. METHODS: Cross-sectional study through an on-line 31-item survey (sociodemographical data, employment status/experience, knowledge of PrEP, use, identified barriers and economic issues). A univariate analysis was performed to evaluate the variables associated with support for PrEP, and compare the assessments by Specialists and Pharmacists. The questions about support for PrEP and agreement with the indication approval were repeated after showing data from published studies. The significance of the change in the answers was analyzed using the McNemar Test. RESULTS: 211 questionnaires were received (80.1% from Pharmacists). 40.3% had low/no familiarity with PrEP (46.2% Pharmacists vs. 16.7% Physicians; p < 0.01). A 53.6% of them would support the use of PrEP (49.7% Pharmacists vs. 69% Physicians; p = 0.038). The minimum acceptable efficacy in order to support PrEP was 85.0 ± 15.5% (82.6 ± 12.1% by Physicians vs. 85.6 ± 15.0% by Pharmacists; p = 0.02). The variables associated with support were: medical profession (OR = 2.26; 95%CI 1.1-4.6; p = 0.038) and lower demand for efficacy (difference = 10.5%; 95%CI 6.9 to 14.1; p < 0.001). After receiving the information, there was an increase in their support for use and indication approval. Most participants (81.5%) did not support its reimbursement. The main barriers identified were: an increase in risk behaviour (24.1%), increase in sexually transmitted diseases (19.0%), resistance (16.6%) and cost (16.0%). CONCLUSIONS: More than half of participants were familiar with PrEP. The majority of them would support its use and the approval of the indication, but would not reimburse it. The use of PrEP in real practice is currently low.


Objetivo: Determinar el grado de apoyo, conocimientos y percepciones respecto a la profilaxis preexposición (PrEP) de los médicos infectólogos y farmacéuticos hospitalarios en España. Métodos: Estudio transversal mediante encuesta de 31 ítems (datos sociodemográficos, situación laboral/experiencia, conocimiento sobre PrEP, uso, opiniones, barreras detectadas y aspectos financieros). Se realizó un análisis univariante para evaluar las variables relacionadas con el apoyo a PrEP y comparar las valoraciones de médicos y farmacéuticos. Las preguntas sobre apoyo a la PrEP y el acuerdo sobre aprobar la indicación se repitieron tras mostrar datos de estudios publicados. Se analizó la significación del cambio en la respuesta mediante la prueba de McNemar. Resultados: Se recibieron 211 cuestionarios (80,1% farmacéuticos). El 40,3% estuvieron nada/poco familiarizados con la PrEP (46,2% farmacéuticos vs. 16,7% médicos; p < 0,01). El 53,6% apoyaría su uso (49,7% farmacéuticos vs. 69% médicos; p = 0,038). La eficacia mínima considerada aceptable fue 85,0 ± 15,5% (82,6 ± 12,1% médicos vs. 85,6 ± 15,0% farmacéuticos; p = 0,02). Las variables relacionadas con el apoyo fueron: profesión médica (OR = 2,26 IC95% 1,1-4,6; p = 0,038) y menor exigencia de eficacia (diferencia 10,5% IC95% 6,9-14,1; p < 0,001). Tras recibir la información, aumentaron el apoyo al uso y la aprobación. El 81,5% no apoyaron la financiación. Las principales barreras señaladas fueron: aumento de conductas de riesgo (24,1%), aumento de enfermedades de transmisión sexual (19,0%), resistencias (16,6%) y coste (16,0%). Conclusiones: Más de la mitad de los encuestados estaban familiarizados con la PrEP. La mayoría apoyaría su uso y la aprobación de la indicación, pero no la financiaría. El uso en la práctica real de la PrEP es escaso en la actualidad.

RESUMO

Objetivo: Conocer el nivel de adherencia en pacientes en tratamiento crónico que acudieron al hospital el 15 de noviembre del 2013 en el marco del 'día de la adherencia' Métodos: Estudio trasversal, observacional, multicéntrico, realizado en 43 hospitales nacionales, para conocer el nivel de adherencia utilizando los cuestionarios de Haynes- Sackett y Morisky- Green, además de una escala analógica visual y preguntas relacionadas con la complejidad del tratamiento y la adherencia selectiva. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo y se calculó la concordancia entre los distintos métodos. Resultados: Se recogieron 723 encuestas principalmente en el área de pacientes externos, siendo el 43% de las encuestadas mujeres, con una mediana de edad de 51 años y tomando 3 medicamentos al día. Según el test de Haynes- Sackett, el 10,8% de los pacientes refirieron tener dificultades para tomar su tratamiento. En cambio, un 56,4% de los pacientes fueron cumplidores totales según el cuestionario de Morisky- Green, aunque al considerar únicamente la pregunta relacionada con la omisión de la toma, eran adherentes un 77% de los pacientes. Al aplicar la escala analógica visual, el 71% de los pacientes consideró su adherencia como buena, superior al 80%. Y un 11% de los pacientes presentaron una adherencia selectiva, refiriendo no tomar por igual todos los fármacos. El test de concordancia entre los distintos cuestionarios, considerando el cuestionario de Morisky- Green como Gold estándar, fue débil. Conclusión: En nuestro estudio solamente un 56% de los pacientes en tratamiento crónico presentaron un nivel de adherencia total o perfecto (AU)


Objetive: The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the adherence level in chronic conditions patients during 'The Adherence Day' celebrated on November 15, 2013. Methods: We performed a transversal, observational and multicenter study at 43 Spanish hospitals, in order to estimate adherence in chronic treatments. We used the validated questionnaires Haynes- Sackett and Morisky- Green to measure medication adherence; but also a visual analogue scale and questions related with treatment complexity and selective adherence were applied. We performed a descriptive analysis and the closeness of agreement between questionnaires results. Results: A total of 723 surveys were collected especially among outpatients. 43% of the participants were women, with a median age of 51 and taking 3 drugs per day. 10.8% of the patients reported to have difficulty taking their pills according to Haynes- Sackett test. However, depending on Morisky- Green questionnaire, 56.4% of the participants were totally compliant; but considering only the question about forgetfulness, more were adherents (77%). 71% of the patients considered their compliance level as good (more than 8) according to visual analogue scale. And 11% presented a selective adherence, no taking equally well all the medications. The closeness of agreement between questionnaires and Morisky- Green test, as gold standard, was poor for Haynes- Sackett and weak for visual analogue scale. Conclusions: In our study only 56% of the patients with chronic treatment had a perfect adherence (AU)

RESUMO

Fundamento y objetivo: El conocimiento de las posibles diferencias de efectividad de los 3 inhibidores del factor de necrosis tumoral alfa (anti-TNF-α) en la artritis reumatoide (AR) tiene importantes implicaciones en la práctica clínica. El objetivo del estudio fue determinar la efectividad de los 3 anti-TNF-α en la AR y estudiar posibles diferencias de resultados entre ellos. Pacientes y método: Se incluyó a todos los pacientes con AR atendidos en consultas del Sector Sanitario II de Zaragoza entre mayo de 2000 y diciembre de 2006 que completaron un año de tratamiento con anti-TNF-α. Se analizaron diferentes parámetros demográficos y clínicos al inicio y al año de tratamiento, y se compararon entre los 3 grupos. Resultados: Un total de 119 pacientes completaron un año de tratamiento con los anti-TNF-α: 38 pacientes con infliximab, 44 pacientes con etanercept y 37 pacientes con adalimumab. Después de un año de tratamiento hubo un descenso medio (desviación estándar) del Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS 28) de 1,82 puntos (1,42) y de 0,3 puntos (0,58) del Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) (p<0,05). Al comparar las variables clínicas de los 3 fármacos al año de tratamiento, el DAS 28 medio fue de 3,8 puntos en los 3 grupos. El valor medio del HAQ fue de 1,2 para los pacientes que estuvieron en tratamiento con infliximab y de 0,9 para los pacientes que estuvieron en tratamiento con etanercept y adalimumab. No se encontraron diferencias significativas en efectividad entre los 3 fármacos. Conclusiones: Los anti-TNF-α son fármacos efectivos para el tratamiento de la AR y se observa una efectividad similar para todos ellos (AU)

The aim of this study was to assess anti-TNF alpha effectiveness and to study possible differences in outcomes between them. Patients and method: We included all patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) attended in consulting room from Zaragoza Area II between May 2000 and December 2006 who completed a year with anti-TNF alpha treatment. Several demographic and clinical parameters at the beginning and after a year with three different agents were analysed and compared. Results: 119 patients completed a year with anti-TNF alpha, 28 with infliximab, 44 with etanercept and 37 with adalimumab. After a year with treatment, DAS 28 descended 1,82 (1,42) points and HAQ 0,3 (0,58) (p<0,05). Comparing the clinical parameters after a year DAS 28 was 3,8 in the three groups. HAQ was 1,2 for patients in treatment with infliximab and 0,9 for patients with etanercept and adalimumab. There were no significant differences in effectiveness between the 3 drugs. Conclusions: Anti-TNF alpha drugs are effective to treat RA and the effectiveness is similar in all them (AU)
