RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The management of medication for patients undergoing urological surgery is a subject of ongoing controversy, especially in elucidating the effect of clinical pharmacists on medication rationality. This study aims to assess the influence of clinical pharmacist service on the utilization of antibacterial and hepatoprotective drugs in urological surgery patients during the perioperative period. METHODS: Patients undergoing urological surgery in our hospital from January 2020, to January 2023, were consecutively selected. The patients were divided into control group (routine procedure) and observation group (routine procedure + clinical pharmacist service). The baseline data were balanced by 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM). The t test and chi-square test were used to compare the drug use, adverse reactions, and hospitalization-related indicators between the two groups. RESULTS: A total of 292 patients were included, with 100 patients in each group after PSM. No significant difference was found in the baseline data between the two groups (p > 0.05). The rationality of drug use (drug type, administration time, course of treatment, and combination) in the observation group was significantly better than that in the control group (χ2 = 8.489, 10.607, 10.895, 10.666; p = 0.004, 0.001, 0.001, 0.001). The incidence of adverse reactions (6.00%) and postoperative complications (7.00%) was significantly lower (χ2 = 4.903, 5.531; p = 0.027, 0.019). The length of hospital stay and total cost were similar (p > 0.05). The use time and cost of antibacterial and hepatoprotective drugs in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (t = 2.935, 3.450, 3.243, 3.532; p = 0.004, 0.001, 0.001, 0.001). The types and rates of antibacterial and hepatoprotective drugs in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Clinical pharmacist service can effectively improve the rationality of drug use in urological surgery patients and reduce adverse reactions and postoperative complications, hence its clinical promotion value.

As a major concern in the healthcare sector, polypharmacy is correlated with an increased risk of potential drug-drug interactions (pDDIs), treatment costs and adverse drug reactions (ADR). To assess the prevalence of polypharmacy and its associated factors among postoperative cardiac patients admitted to the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD), a hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted between November 2021 and April 2022. Medication charts of postoperative patients were reviewed for medication utilization and polypharmacy. Data was collected using a form approved by the Ethical Review Committee (ERC) regarding patient's clinical and demographic characteristics and medications administered. Statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS software version 25.0. Patients were taking an average of 10.3±1.7 medications. The minimum number of drugs taken per patient was 5, while the maximum was 15 drugs. Only 114 (29.7%) received polypharmacy (5-9 drugs) and hyper-polypharmacy (≥10 drugs) was 270 (70.3%). The mean±SD cardiovascular drugs used were 5.45±1.18 and the mean±SD non-cardiovascular drugs were 4.83±1.18. The prevalence of hyper-polypharmacy suggests a critical need for optimized medication management strategies in this population. Incorporating clinical pharmacists within public healthcare institutions can address polypharmacy-related challenges and enhance medication safety, adherence and patient outcomes.

BACKGROUND: The Defense Health Agency comprises more than 700 military medical, dental, and veterinary facilities and provides care to more than 9.6 million beneficiaries. As medication experts, pharmacists identify opportunities to optimize medication therapy, reduce cost, and increase readiness to support the Defense Health Agency's mission. The Tripler Pilot Project and the Army Polypharmacy Program were used to establish a staffing model of 1 clinical pharmacist for every 6,500 enrolled beneficiaries. No large-scale cost-benefit study within the military health care system has been done, which documents the number of clinical interventions and uses established cost-avoidance (CA) data, to determine the cost-benefit and return on investment (ROI) for clinical pharmacists working in the medical treatment facilities. OBJECTIVE: To validate the patient-centered medical home staffing model across the military health care system using the Tripler Pilot Project results to provide a cost-benefit analysis with an ROI. The secondary goal is to describe the interventions, staffing levels, and US Department of Defense-specific requirements impacting the provision of clinical pharmacy. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of 3 years of encounters by clinical pharmacists in which an intervention was documented in the Tri-Service Workflow (TSWF) form as part of the electronic health record was completed. The analysis used 6 steps to assign CA intervention types and to prevent duplication and overestimation of the ROI. The absolute number of clinical pharmacists was determined using workload criteria defined as at least 20 encounters per month for at least 3 months of each calendar year. The number of clinical pharmacist full-time employees (FTEs) was determined by dividing the number of total active months by 12 months. Attrition was calculated comparing the presence of a unique provider identification between calendar years. The ROI range was calculated by dividing the CA by the total cost of clinical pharmacists using the variables' raw and extrapolated CA based on percentage of documentation template usage and the active clinical pharmacist calculation (absolute and FTE-based). RESULTS: Between January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2019, a total of 1,069,846 encounters by clinical pharmacists were documented in the electronic health record. The TSWF Alternative Input Method form was used by pharmacists to document 616,942 encounters. Forty-three percent of TSWF documented encounters had at least 1 CA intervention. The absolute number of clinical pharmacists associated with a documented encounter in any medical treatment facility ranged from 404 in 2017 to 374 in 2018 and the clinical pharmacist FTEs ranged from 324 in 2017 to 314 in 2019. Annual attrition rates for clinical pharmacists ranged from 15% to 20% (58 to 81 clinical pharmacists) annually. The total CA range was $329,166,543-$534,014,494. The ROI range was between $2 and $4 per dollar spent. CONCLUSIONS: This analysis demonstrated that ambulatory care clinical pharmacists in the Military Health System bring value through a positive ROI. Our study also identified a potential shortage of clinical pharmacists within the Air Force and Navy branches impacting medication management. This can have a negative impact on the readiness of service members, one of the leading priorities of the US Department of Defense.

We conducted a multicenter survey of emergency room nurses to obtain information that would be useful for the establishment of pharmacist services in emergency rooms. Notably, 199 valid responses were obtained from 12 hospitals. The most common expectation from pharmacists in the emergency room was "drug management" (70.9%), followed by "providing information to physicians regarding the patient's medication history" (59.3%), and "auditing of dosage and interaction" (57.3%). The working arrangements that the survey respondents wanted regarding pharmacists in emergency rooms were: 24 h pharmacist (41.7% wanted this arrangement), day-shift pharmacist (24.6% wanted this arrangement), 24 h on-call (17.1% wanted this arrangement), day-shift on-call (5.0% wanted this arrangement), telephone support (11.1% wanted this arrangement), and 0.5% said that there was no need for pharmacists. In the analysis of factors affecting nurse satisfaction, day-shift pharmacist was a significant factor. We hope that the results of this survey will be used as a guide for the development of emergency room pharmacist services tailored to the unique characteristics and actual working conditions of each hospital.

Objetivo: aportar evidencia de la efectividad de certolizumab pegol (CZP) en la práctica clínica real en pacientes adultos afectados por psoriasis (PsO) en placas moderada-grave, dentro del contexto de un acuerdo de riesgo compartido (ARC). Métodos: estudio observacional retrospectivo a partir de las variables recogidas en un ARC en los pacientes adultos con PsO en placas moderada-grave tratados con CZP. Participaron 10 hospitales españoles donde se estableció el ARC. Se evaluó el porcentaje de pacientes que alcanzaron la respuesta clínica objetivo del ARC en la visita de seguimiento (semana 16): valor de Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) absoluto ≤3 para la población naive a biológicos, y ≤5 ante el fracaso previo a un único fármaco biológico. Además, se analizó la mejora en la puntuación de otras escalas: Body Surface Area (BSA), Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), Physicians Global Assesment (PGA) y Nail Psoriasis Severity Index (NAPSI). Se realizó un análisis descriptivo del total de la población y por subgrupos de pacientes (naive vs. no naive a biológico, hombre vs. mujer, y con vs. sin interrupción). Resultados: se incluyeron 66 pacientes, 12 hombres y 54 mujeres. El 90,9% alcanzaron la respuesta clínica objetivo, con una reducción media de 8 (−78,4%) puntos de PASI absoluto. Se observó una mejora en BSA, PGA, NAPSI y DLQI, con una reducción de 11,3 (−80,6%), 1,9 (−65,5%), 3,3 (−30,7%) y 9,0 (−66,4%) puntos del valor absoluto, respectivamente. Pese a no alcanzar el objetivo terapéutico establecido en el ARC en 6 pacientes (9%) (el coste del fármaco fue asumido por el laboratorio), solo 2 (3%) interrumpieron el tratamiento. Conclusión: nuestro estudio muestra que CZP resulta efectivo en la práctica clínica real en los pacientes con PsO en placas moderada-grave con una mejora de PASI absoluto y DLQI, así como de otras escalas, tanto para el total de la población como en los subgrupos analizados...(AU)
Objective: To provide evidence of the effectiveness of certolizumab pegol (CZP) in real clinical practice in adult patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis (PsO) in the context of a risk-sharing agreement (RSA). Methods: Retrospective observational study based on variables collected in the RSA for treatment with CZP of adult patients with moderate-severe plaque PsO. Ten Spanish hospitals where the RSA was implemented participated. The percentage of patients who achieved the target clinical response of the RSA at the follow-up visit (week 16) was evaluated: absolute Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) value ≤3 for biologic naïve population, and ≤5 in case of previous failure to a single biologic drug. In addition, the improvement in the scores of other scales included in the study was analyzed: Body Surface Area (BSA), Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), Physician's Global Assessment (PGA), and Nail Psoriasis Severity Index (NAPSI). A descriptive analysis was performed for the total population and by patient subgroups (naive vs. non-naive to biologic, male vs. female, and with vs. without discontinuation). Results: Sixty-six patients were included, 12 men and 54 women. 90.9% achieved the target clinical response, with a mean reduction of 8 (−78.4%) absolute PASI points. Improvement was observed in BSA, PGA, NAPSI and DLQI, with a reduction of 11.3 (−80.6%), 1.9 (−65.5%), 3.3 (−30.7%) and 9.0 (−66.4%) absolute value points, respectively. Despite not achieving the therapeutic target set in the RSA in six patients (9%) (the cost of the drug was assumed by the laboratory), only two (3%) discontinued treatment. Conclusion: Our study shows that CZP is effective in real clinical practice in patients with moderate-severe plaque PsO, with an improvement in absolute PASI and DLQI, as well as other scales, both for the total population and in the subgroups analyzed. Nearly 91% of patients reached the therapeutic target fixed in the RSA...(AU)

Objetivo: evaluar el perfil de seguridad de nirmatrelvir-ritonavir (NMV-r) en la práctica clínica real y analizar la relevancia clínica de las interacciones farmacológicas en el desarrollo de eventos adversos. Material y métodos: estudio observacional, retrospectivo en el que se evaluaron los datos de seguridad de pacientes tratados con NMV-r entre abril y julio de 2022. Se recopilaron datos demográficos y analíticos antes de comenzar el tratamiento. La duración del seguimiento fue de 28 días y se evaluó el número reacciones adversas reportadas, así como si fueron manejadas de forma ambulatoria o precisaron de asistencia sanitaria especializada y la presencia de deterioro de la función renal y hepática. Se revisó el tratamiento concomitante, identificando interacciones farmacológicas teóricas (IFT) cuya gravedad fue definida mediante la clasificación Lexi-interact. Resultados: el estudio incluyó 146 pacientes, 82 (56,16 %) eran mujeres, cuya mediana de edad fue de 65 años (22-95). El número de IFT detectadas y mantenidas durante el tratamiento con NMV-r fue de 164, siendo el porcentaje de pacientes con al menos una interacción de 62,33%. La mediana de IFT por paciente fue de uno (0-5). En 18 pacientes (11,84%) se reportó al menos un evento adverso (EA). Once EA se relacionaron potencialmente con alguna IFT, 7 pacientes requirieron contacto con asistencia hospitalaria para el manejo del EA, 8 pacientes presentaron deterioro de la función renal y 2 de la función hepática a los 28 días. Los principales grupos de fármacos implicados en la aparición de algún EA fueron los anticoagulantes orales, así como los calcio-antagonistas. Conclusiones: nuestros resultados muestran un elevado número de IFT detectadas entre NMV-r y otros fármacos, aunque la frecuencia de EA asociados fue baja. Este estudio proporciona un mayor conocimiento de los fármacos implicados en dichas interacciones y su potencial relación con la aparición de EA.(AU)
Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the safety profile of nirmatrelvir-ritonavir (NMV-r) in real clinical practice and to analyze the clinical relevance of drug-drug interactions in the development of adverse events. Methods: Observational, retrospective study in which safety data of patients treated with NMV-r between April and July 2022 in an outpatient setting were evaluated. The duration of follow-up was 28 days and the number of adverse reactions reported, as well as whether they were managed on an outpatient basis or required health care, and the presence of renal and hepatic function impairment were assessed. Concomitant treatment was reviewed, identifying theoretical drug-drug interactions (TDDIs) whose severity was defined using the Lexi-interact classification. Results: The study included 146 patients, 82 (56,16%) were women, whose median age was 65 years (22-95). The number of TDDIs detected and maintained during treatment with NMV-r was 164, with the percentage of patients with at least one interaction being 62,33%. The median number of TDDIs per patient was 1 (0-5). At least 1 adverse event (AE) was reported in 18 patients (11,84%). Eleven AEs were potentially related to any TDDI. Seven patients required contact with hospital assistance for AE management. Eight patients had impaired renal function and 2 had impaired liver function at 28 days. The main groups of drugs implicated in the occurrence of an AE were oral anticoagulants and calcium antagonists. Conclusions: Our results show a high number of TDDIs detected were detected between NMV-r and other drugs. This study provides greater knowledge of the drugs involved in such interactions and their potential relationship with the occurrence of adverse events.(AU)

Objective: To adapt the GHEMA report of abemaciclib, an inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6. European Medicines Agency authorization (April 2022) includes, in combination with endocrine therapy, the adjuvant treatment of adult patients with hormone receptor positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative, node-positive, early breast cancer at high risk of recurrence. Method: The efficacy and safety of abemaciclib were evaluated in a randomized, open-label, and multicenter phase III study. A total of 5637 patients diagnosed with early breast cancer with hormone receptor positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative, node positive, and high risk of recurrence were included. High risk was defined as patients with 4 or more positive axillary lymph nodes, or 13 positive axillary lymph nodes and at least one of the following: tumor size ≥5 cm, histologic grade 3, or Ki-67≥20%. Patients were randomized (1:1) to receive adjuvant abemaciclib+endocrine therapy (n = 2808) or endocrine therapy alone (n = 2829) for 2 years, with endocrine therapy prescribed for at least 5 years. Results: With a median follow-up of 15.5 months, abemaciclib+endocrine therapy demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in invasive disease-free survival versus endocrine therapy alone [HR = 0.747 (95% CI 0.5980.932), P = 0.0096]; achieving an absolute improvement of 3.5% invasive disease-free survival rate at 2-years. These results were maintained, with a median follow-up of 27.7 months: absolute improvement of 2.7% and 5.4% in invasive disease-free survival rate at 2 and 3 years, respectively. All-causality grade 3 or 4 adverse events were 45.9% for abemaciclib and 12.9% for endocrine therapy, and included neutropenia (19.6% vs. 0.8%), leukopenia (11.4% vs. 0.4%), and diarrhea (7.8% vs. 0.2%). Conclusions: The results of the pivotal trial are sufficient to consider abemaciclib as adjuvant treatment for...(AU)
Objetivo: Adaptar el informe GHEMA de abemaciclib, un inhibidor de quinasas dependientes de ciclinas 4 y 6, con autorización de la Agencia Europea del Medicamento en abril de 2022 para el tratamiento adyuvante de pacientes adultos con cáncer de mama precoz, receptor hormonal positivo, receptor del factor de crecimiento epidérmico negativo, con afectación ganglionar y riesgo elevado de recaída; en combinación con hormonoterapia. Método: La eficacia y seguridad de abemaciclib se evaluó en un estudio fase III multicéntrico, aleatorizado y abierto. Se incluyeron 5.637 pacientes diagnosticados de cáncer de mama precoz con ganglios positivos, receptor hormonal positivo, receptor del factor de crecimiento epidérmico negativo y alto riesgo de recaída. El criterio de alto riesgo se definió como la presencia de ≥ 4 ganglios positivos, o de 13 ganglios y al menos una de las siguientes características: tamaño del tumor ≥5 cm, grado histológico 3 o Ki-67 ≥ 20%. Los pacientes fueron aleatorizados (1:1) a recibir durante 2 años abemaciclib + hormonoterapia (n = 2.808) u hormonoterapia sola (n = 2.829). En ambos brazos el tratamiento con hormonoterapia se mantuvo mínimo 5 años. Resultados: Con una mediana de seguimiento de 15,5 meses, abemaciclib + hormonoterapia mostró beneficio significativo frente a la hormonoterapia sola [HR = 0,747 (IC95% 0,598-0,932), p = 0,0096], con una mejora absoluta del 3,5% en la tasa de supervivencia libre de enfermedad invasiva a 2 los años. Este beneficio se mantuvo con una mediana de seguimiento de 27,7 meses, logrando una mejora en la tasa de supervivencia libre de enfermedad invasiva del 2,7% y del 5,4% a los 2 y 3 años, respectivamente. La incidencia de efectos adversos grado 34 fue superior en el brazo de abemaciclib (45,9% vs. 12,9%); e incluía neutropenia (19,6% vs. 0,8%), leucopenia (11,4% vs. 0,4%) y diarrea (7,8% vs. 0,2%). Conclusiones: Los resultados del ensayo pivotal son suficientes para considerar abemaciclib como...(AU)

Objectives: Patients with life-limiting illnesses are prone to unnecessary polypharmacy. Deprescribing tools may contribute to minimizing negative outcomes. Thus, the aims of the study were to identify validated instruments for deprescribing inappropriate medications for patients with palliative care needs and to assess the impact on clinical, humanistic, and economic outcomes. Methods: A systematic review was conducted in LILACS, PUBMED, EMBASE, COCHRANE, and WEB OF SCIENCE databases (until May 2021). A manual search was performed in the references of enrolled articles. The screening, eligibility, extraction, and bias risk assessment were carried out by 2 independent researchers. Experimental and observational studies were eligible for inclusion. Results: Out of the 5791 studies retrieved, after excluding duplicates (n = 1050), conducting title/abstract screening (n = 4741), and full reading (n = 41), only 1 study met the inclusion criteria. In this included study, a randomized controlled trial was conducted, which showed a high level of bias risk overall. Adults 75 years or older (n = 130) with limited life expectancy and polypharmacy were allocated to 2 groups [intervention arm (deprescribing); and control arm (usual care)]. Deprescribing was performed with the aid of the STOPPFrail tool. The mean number of inappropriate medications and monthly medication costs were significantly lower in the intervention arm. No statistically significant differences were found in terms of unscheduled hospital presentations, falls, fractures, mortality, and quality of life. Conclusions: Despite the availability of several instruments to support deprescribing in patients with palliative care needs, only 1 of them has undergone validation and robust assessment for effectiveness in clinical practice. The STOPPFrail tool appears to reduce the number of inappropriate medications for older people with limited life expectancy (and probably palliative care needs)...(AU)
Objetivo: Los pacientes con enfermedades terminales son propensos a la polifarmacia innecesaria. Las herramientas de desprescripción pueden contribuir a minimizar los resultados negativos. Por lo tanto, los objetivos del estudio fueron identificar instrumentos validados para la desprescripción de medicamentos inapropiados en pacientes con necesidades de cuidados paliativos y evaluar el impacto en los resultados clínicos, humanísticos y económicos. Métodos: Se realizó una revisión sistemática en las bases de datos LILACS, PUBMED, EMBASE, COCHRANE y WEB OF SCIENCE (hasta mayo de 2021). Se realizó una búsqueda manual en las referencias de los artículos incluidos. La selección, elegibilidad, extracción y evaluación del riesgo de sesgo se llevaron a cabo por dos investigadores independientes. Se aceptó la inclusión de estudios observacionales y experimentales. Resultados: De los 5791 estudios recuperados, después de excluir duplicados (n = 1050), realizar la selección de títulos/resúmenes (n = 4741) y la lectura completa (n = 41), solo un estudio cumplió con los criterios de inclusión. En este estudio incluido, se realizó un ensayo controlado aleatorizado, que mostró un alto nivel de riesgo de sesgo en general. A los adultos de 75 años o más (n = 130) con esperanza de vida limitada y polifarmacia se les asignaron dos grupos [grupo de intervención (desprescripción) y grupo de control (atención habitual)]. Se realizó la desprescripción con la ayuda de la herramienta STOPPFrail. El número promedio de medicamentos inapropiados y los costos mensuales de los medicamentos fueron significativamente más bajos en el grupo de intervención. No se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en términos de presentaciones hospitalarias no programadas, caídas, fracturas, mortalidad y calidad de vida. Conclusiones: A pesar de la disponibilidad de varias herramientas para apoyar la deprescripción en pacientes con necesidades de cuidados paliativos...(AU)

This article argues that drug shortages should be addressed as crises that exacerbate already compromised US health care infrastructure. Clinicians, especially pharmacists, can help limit threats that shortages pose to patients. For example, pharmacists can canvass procurement options, consolidate inventory, and prepare medications to prevent need for some clinical interventions. This article describes how pharmacists' preparation and training equip them to help clinical teams navigate shortages by equitably rationing limited medicines, suggesting appropriate therapeutic alternatives, modifying drug administration routes, or delaying interventions. Pharmacists' roles can be key, since good management of supplies during drug shortages can mitigate risk of worse-than-usual clinical outcomes, mitigate risk of medication errors, and reduce some financial burdens on the overall health care system.

INTRODUCTION: Clinical pharmacy services often involve multifaceted pharmacist-led interventions. However, current pharmacy practice models vary across different countries. Despite the documented benefits of clinical pharmacy services, the characteristics of pharmacist-led interventions in different countries have not yet been adequately explored and described. Therefore, this protocol outlines the methodology for a proposed scoping review aiming to investigate various types of multifaceted pharmacist-led interventions and the outcomes used to evaluate their effectiveness within secondary care settings. Additionally, the scoping review will map the current evidence surrounding the characteristics of interventions and outcomes reported across various countries of socioeconomic status. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The scoping review will be conducted according to the JBI Methodology for Scoping Reviews and reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) Extension for Scoping Reviews. We will systematically search the following electronic databases: MEDLINE (Ovid), CINAHL (EbscoHost), Embase (embase.com), Scopus (scopus.com), Cochrane Library (cochranelibrary.com) and APA PsycInfo (Ovid). Additionally, the reference lists of identified reviews and included full texts will be searched for relevant papers. Grey literature sources, such as International Pharmaceutical Abstracts and the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) website, will be searched. We will include primary studies published in the English language from January 2013 to December 2023, involving secondary care multifaceted pharmacist-led interventions. Two independent reviewers will screen studies against eligibility criteria and use a piloted data extraction form to extract relevant information. We will extract relevant data, complete a tabular summary from each included publication and analyse it. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethical approval is not required as we will be using data from publicly available literature sources. Findings will be disseminated in publications and presentations with relevant stakeholders. We aim to map available evidence across the breadth of studies that have reported multifaceted pharmacist-led interventions and their outcomes.

Pharmacy Intravenous Admixture Services (PIVAS) are places dedicated to the centralized dispensing of intravenous drugs, usually managed and operated by professional pharmacists and pharmacy technicians, and are an integral part of modern healthcare. However, the workflow of PIVAS has some problems, such as low efficiency and error-prone. This study aims to improve the efficiency of drug dispensing, reduce the rate of manual misjudgment, and minimize drug errors by conducting an in-depth study of the entire workflow of PIVAS and applying image recognition technology to the drug checking and dispensing process. Firstly, through experimental comparison, a target detection model suitable for drug category recognition is selected in the drug-checking process of PIVAS, and it is improved to improve the recognition accuracy and speed of intravenous drug categories. Secondly, a corner detection model for drug dosage recognition was studied in the drug dispensing stage to further increase drug dispensing accuracy. Then the PIVAS drug category recognition system and PIVAS drug dosage recognition system were designed and implemented.
