Effect Evaluation of Intervention on Potentially Inappropriate Medication in Elderly Inpatients by Clinical Pharmacists
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the potentially inappropriate medications(PIM) in elderly inpatients in the Aerospace Center Hospital
and probe into the work pattern of PIM pharmaceutical intervention conducted by clinical pharmacists
so as to provide theoretical and practical basis for ensuring rational medication in elder patients. METHODS: Through a single center cohort study
the elder patients hospitalized in the Aerospace Center Hospital from Jan. to Jun. 2021 were selected as research objects. These patients were divided into intervention group and control group based on whether the clinical pharmacists carried out pharmaceutical intervention. The Criteria of Potentially Inappropriate Medications for Older Adults in China(2017 version)(hereinafter referred to as the Criteria) was applied to evaluate the PIM of both groups and analyze the effect of PIM improvements by clinical pharmacists. RESULTS: A total of 455 patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled in the research
including 214 patients in the intervention group and 241 patients in the control group. To eliminate the effect of confounding factors between two groups
propensity score was used to balance the between-group differences. After matching
there were 164 cases in the intervention group and 164 cases in the control group
a total of 328 patients. By applying the Criteria
257 patients(78.35%) had at least 1 PIM
with 1(1 to 2) PIM per capita. In terms of effectiveness
the incidence of PIM(P=0.023)
PIM per capita(P=0.024) and 90 d all-cause readmission rate(P=0.032) were significantly lower in the intervention group compared with the control group
with statistically significant differences; in terms of economy
the average treatment cost of patients in the intervention group was significantly lower compared with the control group
with statistically significant difference(P=0.022). CONCLUSIONS: Pharmaceutical intervention on elderly inpatients by clinical pharmacists can not only reduce the incidence of PIM
per capita PIM and 90 d all-cause readmission rate
but also reduce the treatment cost of patients and improves the rationality of clinical medication in elderly patients.
