Filter by:Optimal perioperative and long-term success in cardiac-surgery require precise management of drug treatment. This study was aimed to determine prevalence, types and associated factors of drug related problems (DRPs) at both preoperative and postoperative stages in patients at cardiac-surgery by using risk analysis method.
Drug-related problems in newborn babies have been reported with a rate of 4-30%. It is estimated that the higher rates of these problems in hospitalized children under the age of two are related to the variety of drugs used and the differences in the age, weight and diagnosis of the patients. In this context, with the clinical parameters and demographic data obtained in the first 24 hours of the patients hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit, machine learning algorithms are used to predict the risks that may arise from possible drug-related problems (prescribing and administration errors, side effects and drug-drug interactions) that may occur during hospitalization. The algorithm, which will be created by modeling with a high number of big data pool, is planned to be transformed into a clinical decision support system software that can be used easily in clinical practice with online and mobile applications. By processing the data of the patients to be included in the model, it is aimed to prevent and manage drug-related problems before they occur, as well as to provide cost-effective medşcation treatment to patients hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit, together with a reduction in the risk of drug-related mortality and morbidity.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical impact of a program for the secondary prevention of drug-realted problems (DRP) focused on the patient empowerment through Digital Health in patients who visit the Emergency Department (ED) of the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau (HSCiSP) for a health problem related to medication in terms of readmissions, revisits and quality of life.
Background: Although Drug- related Problems (DRPs) in polimedicated patients are a major public health problem in western countries and many of them have been considered avoidable, secondary and primary prevention policies have not been systematized, beyond pharmaceutical care programs in certain settings and on specific patients. Objectives: The main objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of implementing the Medication Code (CM) on patients who consult the emergency department for a DRP (secondary prevention of DRP). It is also intended to draw conclusions, based on the knowledge obtained in terms of DRP that will allow the establishment of future actions to reduce its prevalence (primary prevention actions). Method: A single-centre clinical trial is proposed in which adult patients will be selected to consult the Hospital Emergency Department (ED) of the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau (HSCSP) for a primary or secondary diagnosis of DRP and will be randomised with a 1:1 distribution to be included in the medication code (intervention group) or to receive usual care (control group). The intervention will be evaluated in terms of health outcomes (ED consultations and hospital readmission).
The purpose of this study is to measure the effects of an enhanced service where a pharmacists is part of the healthcare team on the ward (focusing on drug-related problems and transferring information between primary and secondary care). Primary outcome measure is visits to hospital during a 12-month follow-up period, and the population is patients 80 years and older.
