Paratuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP), is a significant concern in the camel population of Saudi Arabia. This study aimed to provide epidemiological insights into disease estimating true prevalence camels Eastern Province and Riyadh, using Bayesian estimation framework, exploring associated risk factors through frequentist approach. A total 1200 blood samples were collected analyzed an indirect ELISA method. The herd-level was estimated at 0.7 (95%...
This study estimated, for Saudi Arabia, the cost-efficiency of converting patients from reference Neupogen and Neulastim to one two filgrastim biosimilars (Nivestim, Zarzio); budget-neutral expanded access supportive care with biosimilar therapeutic ado-trastuzumab emtansine thus afforded; number-needed-to-convert (NNC) provide or treatment patient.Replicating prior studies, we modeled cost-efficiencies gained varying proportions a hypothetical panel 4,000 undergoing six cycles cancer G-CSF...
The pharmacokinetics of vancomycin vary significantly between specific groups patients, such as critically ill patients and with hematological malignancy (HM) febrile neutropenia (FN). Recent evidence suggests that the use usual standard dose antibiotics in FN may not offer adequate exposure due to pharmacokinetic variability (PK). Therefore, purpose this study is assess effect on AUC0-24 a key parameter for monitoring, well determine which PK parameters are affected by presence using...
Introduction Most computerized physician order entry (CPOE) software come with clinical decision-support components (CDS) that provide prescribers assistance and notify them about adverse drug reactions. An excessive number of alerts in a repeated non-relevant manner leads to alert fatigue enforces physicians pharmacists overrides. King Abdulaziz Medical City (KAMC) Jeddah still reports higher percentage overridden by clinicians pharmacists. Thus, this study was conducted evaluate CDS...
Vancomycindosing error and inappropriate monitoring is a common problem in hospital daily practice. In King Abdulaziz Medical City (KAMC) Jeddah, high percentage of abnormal vancomycin trough levels still detected despite using the recommended dose. Therefore, current research objective to study major causes dosing errors. This retrospective, single-center, cross-sectional was carried out at KAMC Jeddah from January 1st until December 31st 2019. All adult patients (≥15 years) who received...
The AUC0-24 is the most accurate way to track vancomycin level while Cmin not an surrogate. Most hospitals in Saudi Arabia are under-practicing AUC-guided dosing and monitoring. No previous work has been conducted evaluate such practice whole kingdom. current study objective calculate using Bayesian software (PrecisePK), identify probability of patients who receive optimum dose vancomycin, accuracy precision platform. This retrospective was at King Abdulaziz medical city, Jeddah. All adult...
Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is a critical and potentially fatal complication linked to specific types of cancer. Rasburicase stands as crucial medication necessary for the prevention treatment hyperuricemia, condition commonly associated with TLS. Due shortage rasburicase during COVID-19 pandemic, fixed-dose strategy 3 mg was used in many adult cancer patients our center.
Patient satisfaction with pharmacy services, particularly in outpatient and discharge settings, has become a vital metric for assessing medical quality. However, there's limited research on patient services the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). This study aims to systematically investigate delineate various patient-related non-patient-related factors that significantly impact realm services.
Pharmacist intervention has valuable input to the healthcare system by reducing medication errors, costs of treatment and improving therapeutic outcomes. This study aimed analyze pharmacists’ interventions during verification computerized physician order entry determine association between prescribers’ level type prescribing errors. In this cross-sectional, observational study, data collection was carried out over three months starting from 1 January 2020 31 March 2020. Included were 2405...
Since early December 2019, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been relentlessly spread worldwide and hit healthcare systems with terrible force. Pharmacists play a vital role in system providing medicines, therapeutics, vaccines, clinical services, other pharmaceutical care services to patients. Therefore, ensure all these continued at King Abdulaziz Medical City - Jeddah during COVID-19 pandemic, Department of Pharmaceutical Care initiated departmental crisis preparedness plan, as...
1524 Background: Despite the relatively low incidence in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) compared to Western countries, breast cancer (BC) is most common among females for past 11 consecutive years (National Cancer Registry 1994–2004). The objective this study report results first public national BC screening program KSA and evaluate relationship between imaging pathological findings known risk factors. Methods: Asymptomatic women 40 age or older underwent at Abdulatif Charitable Screening...
