RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To develop a clinical practice guideline for a simplified approach to medical cannabinoid use in primary care; the focus was on primary care application, with a strong emphasis on best available evidence and a promotion of shared, informed decision making. METHODS: The Evidence Review Group performed a detailed systematic review of 4 clinical areas with the best evidence around cannabinoids: pain, nausea and vomiting, spasticity, and adverse events. Nine health professionals (2 generalist family physicians, 2 pain management-focused family physicians, 1 inner-city family physician, 1 neurologist, 1 oncologist, 1 nurse practitioner, and 1 pharmacist) and a patient representative comprised the Prescribing Guideline Committee (PGC), along with 2 nonvoting members (pharmacist project managers). Member selection was based on profession, practice setting, location, and lack of financial conflicts of interest. The guideline process was iterative through content distribution, evidence review, and telephone and online meetings. The PGC directed the Evidence Review Group to address and provide evidence for additional questions as needed. The key recommendations were derived through consensus of the PGC. The guideline was drafted, refined, and distributed to a group of clinicians and patients for feedback, then refined again and finalized by the PGC. RECOMMENDATIONS: Recommendations include limiting medical cannabinoid use in general, but also outline potential restricted use in a small subset of medical conditions for which there is some evidence (neuropathic pain, palliative and end-of-life pain, chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, and spasticity due to multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injury). Other important considerations regarding prescribing are reviewed in detail, and content is offered to support shared, informed decision making. CONCLUSION: This simplified medical cannabinoid prescribing guideline provides practical recommendations for the use of medical cannabinoids in primary care. All recommendations are intended to assist with, not dictate, decision making in conjunction with patients.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To develop clinical practice guidelines for a simplified approach to primary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD), concentrating on CVD risk estimation and lipid management for primary care clinicians and their teams; we sought increased contribution from primary care professionals with little or no conflict of interest and focused on the highest level of evidence available. METHODS: Nine health professionals (4 family physicians, 2 internal medicine specialists, 1 nurse practitioner, 1 registered nurse, and 1 pharmacist) and 1 nonvoting member (pharmacist project manager) comprised the overarching Lipid Pathway Committee (LPC). Member selection was based on profession, practice setting, and location, and members disclosed any actual or potential conflicts of interest. The guideline process was iterative through online posting, detailed evidence review, and telephone and online meetings. The LPC identified 12 priority questions to be addressed. The Evidence Review Group answered these questions. After review of the answers, key recommendations were derived through consensus of the LPC. The guidelines were drafted, refined, and distributed to a group of clinicians (family physicians, other specialists, pharmacists, nurses, and nurse practitioners) and patients for feedback, then refined again and finalized by the LPC. RECOMMENDATIONS: Recommendations are provided on screening and testing, risk assessments, interventions, follow-up, and the role of acetylsalicylic acid in primary prevention. CONCLUSION: These simplified lipid guidelines provide practical recommendations for prevention and treatment of CVD for primary care practitioners. All recommendations are intended to assist with, not dictate, decision making in conjunction with patients.

RESUMO

OBJECTIF: Élaborer des lignes directrices de pratique clinique visant à simplifier l'approche à l'emploi de cannabinoïdes à des fins médicales en soins de première ligne; le projet visait l'application en soins de première ligne, en insistant fortement sur les meilleures données probantes disponibles, et la promotion de la prise de décision éclairée et partagée. MÉTHODES: Le Groupe d'examen des données a effectué une revue systématique détaillée de 4 domaines cliniques dotés des meilleures données probantes en matière de cannabinoïdes : douleur, nausées et vomissements, spasticité et événements indésirables. Neuf professionnels de la santé (2 omnipraticiens, 2 médecins de famille spécialisés en gestion de la douleur, 1 médecin de famille en milieu urbain, 1 neurologue, 1 oncologue, 1 infirmière praticienne et 1 pharmacien) et une représentante de patients composaient le Comité des lignes directrices en matière de prescription (CLDP), de même que 2 membres sans droit de vote (pharmaciens gestionnaires de projet). Les membres ont été sélectionnés en fonction de leur profession, et de leur contexte et de leur lieu de pratique, de même qu'en fonction de l'absence d'un conflit d'intérêts de nature financière. Les lignes directrices sont le fruit d'un processus itératif incluant la distribution de contenu, l'examen minutieux des données probantes, et des rencontres téléphoniques et en ligne. Le CLDP a confié au Groupe d'examen des données la responsabilité de répondre aux questions additionnelles et de fournir des données probantes, au besoin. Les principales recommandations découlent d'un consensus au sein du CLDP. Les lignes directrices ont été rédigées, peaufinées et distribuées à un groupe de cliniciens et de patients aux fins de commentaires, puis ont été peaufinées à nouveau et finalisées par le CLDP. RECOMMANDATIONS: Les recommandations consistent à limiter la consommation générale de cannabinoïdes médicaux, mais elles décrivent aussi l'emploi restreint potentiel dans un petit sous-groupe de conditions de santé pour lesquelles des données probantes existent (douleur neuropathique, douleur en soins palliatifs et en fin de vie, nausées et vomissements induits par la chimiothérapie, et spasticité causée par la sclérose en plaques ou une lésion de la moelle épinière). L'article examine en détail d'autres points importants en matière de prescription, et offre du contenu étayant la prise de décision éclairée et partagée. CONCLUSION: Ces lignes directrices simplifiées en matière de prescription de cannabinoïdes médicaux offrent des recommandations pratiques quant à l'emploi de cannabinoïdes en soins de première ligne. Toutes les recommandations visent à contribuer à la prise de décision conjointement avec le patient et non à la dicter.
