Globally, cancer is one of the leading causes mortality. High treatment cost, partly owing to higher prices anti-cancer drugs, presents a significant burden on patients and healthcare systems. The aim present study was survey compare retail drugs between high, middle low income countries in South-East Asia, Western Pacific Eastern Mediterranean regions. Cross-sectional design used for study. Pricing data from ten counties including two seven regions were this Purchasing power parity...
Objective To evaluate the association between adherence to antimalarials and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods Using administrative health databases British Columbia, Canada, we conducted a retrospective, longitudinal cohort study of incident SLE antimalarial use. We established drug courses by defining new course when 90‐day gap is exceeded refills calculated proportion days covered (PDC) for each course. categorized medication taking...
Background: Stroke prevention therapy decisions for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are complex and require trade-offs, but few validated patient decision aids (PDAs) available to facilitate shared making. Objective: To evaluate the effects of a novel PDA on decision-making parameters AF choosing stroke therapy. Methods: We developed an evidence-based individualized online evaluated it in prospective observational pilot study. The primary outcome was decisional conflict. Secondary...
Background Patients with atrial fibrillation are frequently nonadherent to oral anticoagulants (OACs) prescribed for stroke and systemic embolism (SSE) prevention. We quantified the relationship between OAC adherence clinical outcomes using methods not previously applied this problem. Methods Results Retrospective observational cohort study of incident cases from population‐based administrative data over 23 years. The exposure interest was proportion days covered during 90 before an event or...
Our previous study in British Columbia (BC) indicated that pharmacists have a poor perception of their working conditions. The objective this is to assess pharmacists' perceptions conditions 4 other Canadian provinces.This was cross-sectional across Alberta, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland Labrador, using survey adapted from the Oregon Board Pharmacy. Data collected previously BC were also included analyses. emailed all pharmacist registrants. Respondents provided with 6...
ABSTRACTBackground: In many jurisdictions, the pharmacist’s role continues to evolve from drug distribution–based service delivery expanded scopes of practice, including independent prescribing medications. Objectives: To assess health authority–based pharmacists’ attitudes, be-liefs, and perceptions about prescribing, determine how may affect their behaviour, identify perceived barriers enablers incorporating it into practice.Methods: An anonymous, cross-sectional online survey 677...
Satisfaction with treatment has been identified as an important contributing factor to adherence oral anticoagulant (OAC) therapy in patients atrial fibrillation (AF). We aimed evaluate the satisfaction level of AF regarding OAC use over time, using validated patient-reported outcome instruments, and identify associated patient characteristics.Participants were recruited from specialized clinics Canada. Eligible who prescribed OACs followed for up 2 years. Participants interviewed via...
Abstract Our objectives were to measure long-term adherence oral anticoagulants (OACs) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and identify patient factors associated adherence. Using linked, population-based administrative data from British Columbia, Canada, an incident cohort of adults prescribed OACs for AF was identified. We calculated the proportion days covered (PDC) as a time-dependent covariate each 90-day window OAC initiation until end follow-up. Associations between attributes...
