Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and clinicians have different views about benefits from treatments. More knowledge is needed how patients assess outcomes in order to update current measurements.Focus group interviews were performed at four Swedish rheumatology clinics. A total of 25 RA included, representing a wide range ages disease duration. Predetermined topics relating important satisfaction/dissatisfaction treatments discussed.The participants' initial outcome assessments...
Abstract Background Clinical decision support systems are implemented in many hospitals to prevent medication errors and associated harm. They however with a high burden of false positive alerts alert fatigue. The aim this study was evaluate drug–drug interaction (DDI) clinical system terms its performance, uptake user satisfaction identify barriers opportunities for improvement. Methods A quantitative evaluation end-user survey were performed large teaching hospital. First, very severe DDI...
Abstract Background Chronic use of hypnotic agents is prevalent in older adults, who as a result are at increased risk for certain adverse events, such day-time drowsiness and falls. Multiple strategies to discontinue hypnotics have been tested geriatric patients, but evidence remains scarce. Hence, we aimed investigate multicomponent intervention reduce drug inpatients. Methods A before-after study was performed on the acute wards teaching hospital. The before cohort received usual care...
Aims We aimed to assess the prevalence, components and evolution of polypharmacy evaluate risk factors associated with polypharmacy. Methods A retrospective dynamic cohort study was performed, using a primary healthcare database comprising Flemish community-dwelling adults aged ≥40 years between 2011 2015. Polypharmacy excessive were defined as use 5-9 or minimum 10 different medications during 1 year, respectively. Temporal changes analysed an autoregressive error model. Risk for evaluated...
The class of new oral anticoagulants (NOACs) has been developed to provide reliable anticoagulation without the need for therapeutic drug monitoring. Based on phase I and II trials pharmacokinetic pharmacodynamic modeling, fixed doses have selected large III clinical each currently available NOAC. In these trials, use dose plasma level assessments was shown be at least as effective safe vitamin K antagonists with continuous Real world evidence reaffirms that a NOAC assessment is in variety...
Interdisciplinary geriatric consultation teams (IGCT) are regularly requested to provide comprehensive assessments in older inpatients. Our primary aim was evaluate whether medication reviews increased the number of IGCT-provided drug-related recommendations. Secondary aims were reduce potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs), and identify acceptance rate determinants for A before-after study performed inpatients not admitted acute wards. The before cohort received usual care (UC); after...
