ABSTRACT

Resumen Introducción: desde hace varios años existe preocupación por el incremento específico en el consumo de antimicrobianos por los problemas que estos generan. Por tal motivo se decidió diseñar un programa de atención farmacéutica en pacientes hospitalizados en servicios abiertos para evitar el desarrollo de problemas relacionados con medicamentos asociados con antimicrobianos. Materiales y métodos: se realizó un estudio retrospectivo de utilización de medicamentos, del tipo prescripción-indicación en una muestra de estudio de 25 pacientes que recibieron antimicrobianos de amplio espectro en el área de medicina interna del hospital José María Velasco Ibarra desde abril hasta julio del 2016. Resultados: el 76 % de los pacientes fueron mujeres. La patología más frecuente que requirió la utilización de antimicrobianos fue la infección de vías urinarias complicada (48 %): el 24 % de los pacientes recibió más de un antibiótico de amplio espectro y el más utilizado fue el imipenem/cilastatina (34.4 %), seguido de la piperacilina/tazobactam y el cefepime, ambas con un 28.1 % y la vancomicina (9.4 %). El 48 % de las prescripciones fueron inadecuadas, se detectó la presencia de PRM en el 84 % de los pacientes. Conclusión: el diseño de un programa de atención farmacéutica en pacientes hospitalizados garantiza la identificación, prevención y/o solución de los problemas relacionados con medicamentos, su uso adecuado y la calidad de la atención.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Pharmaceutical care is a professional practice seeking the responsible provision of drug therapy by identifying, resolving, and preventing Drug-Related Problems (DRP). The study aims to describe and evaluate the impact of pharmaceutical care given to patients being treated for tuberculosis (TB). Study concurrent, longitudinal, prospective conducted during pharmaceutical care in the TB outpatient clinic, Clinical Hospital, Federal University of Minas Gerais during the period August 2009 to July 2012. The Pharmacotherapy Workup proposed by Cipolle et al. (2004) was used. Statistical analyses were performed by X2 or Fisher exact test, as appropriate. A total of 62 patients were followed up, and 128 drug-related problems (DRP) were identified: 69.5% related to safety, 13.3% to effectiveness, 12.5% ​​to indication, and 4.7% to treatment adherence, and 62.1% of the DRP were resolved. A total of 115 pharmaceutical interventions were performed. The impact of pharmaceutical care was satisfactory for 73.9% of patients with a resolution rate of 77%. There was a greater impact on pharmaceutical care (index ≥ 0.50) for those patients who were not smokers (p <0.05). The impact of pharmaceutical care was important, so the pharmacist should work alongside the multidisciplinary team to monitor treatment and perform interventions.

ABSTRACT

Background: Pharmaceutical follow-up consists on the detection, prevention, and resolution of drug-related problems (DRP) in a continuous, systematized, and documented way. DRP is a health problem connected to pharmacotherapy, which can interfere with the expected health outcomes in the patient. Aim: To make a pharmacotherapeutic surveillance in HIV/AIDS inpatients attended at "Hospital San Juan de Dios" throughout a year prospective study (January to December 2012). Results: 88.6% (93/105) of patients were in stage AIDS with a median of CD4+ lymphocytes of 29 cells/mm³ and a viral load of 107,000 RNA copies/mL. The 16.2% were admitted to a intensive care unit ICU. 296 DRP (DRP 2.8 per patient) were detected, 72% of DRP (n; 213) were associated with treatment safety, 94 were adverse reactions, 19 required dose adjustments, and 6 interactions had a negative clinical impact; 23.3% (n: 69) experimented the necessity to add or remove a drug and 4.7% (n: 14) presented problems associated with effectiveness. A statistically significant relation was observed when associating the number of DRP with admittance to the ICU and the use of more than six drugs. Conclusion: The results allow the conclusion that inpatients present drug-related problems mainly related to toxicity, becoming risk factors for the development of them admittance to ICU, and concomitant use of more than 6 drugs.


Introducción: El seguimiento farmacoterapéutico, consiste en la detección, prevención y resolución de los problemas relacionados con los medicamentos (PRM), en forma continua, sistematizada y documentada. Un PRM es un problema de salud vinculado con la farmacoterapia, que interfiere o puede interferir con los resultados de salud esperados en el paciente. Objetivo y Métodos: Realizar un seguimiento farmacoterapéutico a pacientes hospitalizados con infección por VIH/SIDA del Hospital San Juan de Dios, a través de un estudio prospectivo de un año (enero a diciembre 2012). Resultados: El 88,6% (93/105) de los pacientes se encontraba en etapa SIDA, con una mediana de linfocitos TCD4+ de 29 céls/mm³ y una carga viral de 107.000 copias ARN/mL. El 16,2% de los pacientes ingresó a una unidad de paciente crítico. Se detectaron 296 PRM (2,8 PRM por paciente); el 72% de los PRM (n: 213) estuvieron asociados a seguridad del tratamiento, objetivándose 94 reacciones adversas, 19 eventos con necesidad de ajustes de dosis y seis interacciones con repercusión clínica negativa; 23,3% (n: 69) a la necesidad de incorporar o eliminar algún fármaco y 4,7 % (n: 14) a problemas asociados a efectividad. Se observó una relación estadísticamente significativa al asociar el N° de PRM con la unidad de pacientes críticos y uso de más de seis fármacos. Conclusión: Los resultados permiten concluir que los pacientes hospitalizados presentan problemas relacionados al uso de medicamentos, principalmente asociado a toxicidad, encontrándose como factores de riesgo para el desarrollo de éstos la permanencia en una unidad de paciente crítico y el uso concomitante de más de seis fármacos.

ABSTRACT

The influence of pharmacotherapeutic follow-up (PTF) on quality of life was evaluated in 45 HIV+ patients, who were undergoing initial antiretroviral therapy at a specialized care center in northeast Brazil. PTF lasted nine months and quality of life was analyzed at the 1st and 9th meetings using a questionnaire validated for Brazil. The study identified 643 problems related to antiretrovirals and there were 590 pharmaceutical interventions during the PTF. The comparative analysis between the results of the 1st and the 9th meeting was statistically significant for all domains of the questionnaire. For asymptomatic patients, only one domain was statistically significant. For symptomatic patients, six domains were significant. Patients with one year of HIV/AIDS diagnosis had statistically significant differences in five domains. The results suggest that the PTF contributed to improving quality of life, particularly for symptomatic patients and those diagnosed for at least one year - important target groups for Pharmaceutical Treatment.


A influência do seguimento farmacoterapêutico (SFT) sobre a qualidade de vida foi avaliada em 45 pacientes HIV+ assistidos em serviço de atendimento especializado do nordeste brasileiro. O SFT teve duração de 9 meses e a qualidade de vida foi analisada no 1º e 9º encontros através de questionário validado no País. Identificaram-se 643 problemas relacionados aos antirretrovirais e realizaram-se 590 intervenções farmacêuticas durante o SFT. A análise comparativa entre os resultados de qualidade de vida do 1º e 9º encontro foi estatisticamente significativa em todos os domínios do questionário. Quando analisados somente os pacientes assintomáticos, apenas um domínio apresentou significância estatística. Entre os sintomáticos, seis domínios foram significativos. Pacientes com até um ano de diagnóstico de HIV/AIDS apresentaram validade estatística em cinco domínios. Os resultados sugerem que o SFT contribuiu para a melhoria da qualidade de vida dos pacientes, sobretudo dos sintomáticos e/ou com até um ano de diagnóstico, representando grupos-alvo para a prática da Atenção Farmacêutica.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste trabalho foi fornecer o serviço de Atenção Farmacêutica e acompanhamento farmacoterapêutico a hipertensos usuários da Farmácia Popular de Alfenas-MG, avaliando seu impacto no controle da pressão arterial. Este trabalho foi desenvolvido com pacientes de ambos os sexos com faixa etária entre 40 ? 70 anos ou mais, usuários da Farmácia Popular de Alfenas-MG. Foram selecionados a esmo 27 pacientes que foram alocados em grupo controle (GC) (n= 12) e teste (GT) (n=15). O método de Acompanhamento Farmacoterapêutico utilizado foi o Programa Dáder. Os pacientes do grupo controle tiveram sua pressão arterial aferida periodicamente, mas sem receber as intervenções farmacêuticas. O grupo teste recebeu o acompanhamento farmacoterapêutico por 12 meses. Os dados foram analisados quanto à distribuição normal (Shapiro Wilk) e uma vez confirmada a normalidade, foi realizado o teste ?t? de Student para avaliar a significância dos dados obtidos. No início a média das pressões do grupo controle era 143,3 mmHg (sistólica) e 75,83 mmHg (diastólica) reduzindo para 137,5 mmHg (p=0,0945) e 75,83 mmHg (p=0,5) ao final do estudo. A média das pressões do GT ao final do acompanhamento teve uma redução de 19 mmHg (sistólica) (p<0,0001) e 12,67 mmHg (diastólica) (p<0,0001). A redução da pressão sistólica do GT foi maior que a do GC (p=0,0244).


The purpose of this study was to provide the service of Pharmaceutical Care and pharmacotherapeutic follow-up to hypertensive patients who attend the Popular Pharmacy of the city of Alfenas, in Minas Gerais- Brazil, through the assessment of its impact on arterial pressure control. The present study was conducted with patients of both sexes aged between 40 and 70 years and above, who attend at the Popular Pharmacy of Alfenas, Minas Gerais. So it was selected 27 patients and they were allocated to control groups (CG) (n= 12) and test groups (TG) (n=15). The pharmacotherapeutic follow-up used was the Dáder Program. The patients in the control group had their arterial pressure periodically measured but they did not receive pharmaceutical care. The test group received pharmacotherapeutic follow-up for 12 months. The data were analyzed as to normal distribution (Shapiro Wilk) and when its normality was confirmed, it was performed the test ?t? of Student to assess the significance of the obtained data. In the beginning, the average arterial pressure of patients in the control group was 143.3 mmHg (systolic) and 75.83 mmHg, which was reduced to 137.5 mmHg (p=0.0945) and 75.83 mmHg (p=0.5) at the end of the study. The average arterial pressure of patients in the test group (TG) at the end of follow-up was reduced in 19 mmHg (systolic) (p<0.0001) and 12.67 mmHg (diastolic) (p<0.0001). The reduction in the systolic pressure of the TG was higher than that of the CG (p=0.0244).

ABSTRACT

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi proporcionar o serviço de Acompanhamento Farmacoterapêutico (AFT) a pacientes hipertensos usuários da Farmácia Popular de Alfenas (MG), além de avaliar a adesão do usuário aos medicamentos antes e após o AFT e o grau de satisfação com o serviço prestado. O trabalho foi realizado com 27 pacientes de ambos os sexos e com faixa etária entre 40 e 70 anos ou mais. Os pacientes foram divididos em grupo controle e teste, ambos responderam ao questionário de adesão no início do estudo e, ao final, apenas os pacientes do grupo teste o fizeram. Os pacientes do grupo teste receberam Acompanhamento Farmacoterapêutico durante dez meses (2008) e, ao final desse período, responderam o questionário de satisfação pelo serviço. Um dos motivos mais importantes para a não adesão foi o esquecimento de administrar o medicamento (67% para ambos os grupos). Outros fatores, como a falta de informação sobre a doença e a não compreensão sobre como utilizar os medicamentos, foram sanados com a intervenção farmacêutica. Dos pacientes participantes desta pesquisa, 80% achavam importante o trabalho conjunto do farmacêutico com o médico e 100% disseram que continuariam a utilizar o serviço prestado e o indicariam a amigos e parentes. Os dados sugerem que as intervenções farmacêuticas foram efetivas no sentido de aumentar a adesão no grupo que recebeu AFt e que os pacientes ficaram satisfeitos com o serviço prestado.


This research was designed to provide a Pharmacotherapeutic Follow-up (PF) service to hypertensive patients who attend the Popular Pharmacy in Alfenas (Minas Gerais, Brazil) and to assess user adherence to medication before and after the PF and the degree of satisfaction with the service rendered. This study was carried out with 27 patients of both sexes, aged 40 years and above. The patients were divided into two groups, control and test; all patients answered the adherence questionnaire at the beginning of the study and, at the end, only those in the test group. The patients in the test group received PF for ten months (2008) and, at the end of this period, they were asked to complete a questionnaire regarding their satisfaction with the service. One of the commonest reasons given for non-adherence to medication was forgetfulness (67% for both groups). Other problems, such as lack of information on the disease and poor understanding of how to take the medicines, were solved by pharmaceutical intervention. According to 80% of the patients involved, this teamwork between pharmacist and physician is important, and 100% reported they would continue to use the service and would recommend it to friends and relatives. The data suggest that pharmaceutical interventions were effective in improving adherence to medication among patients in the group that received PF and that the patients were satisfied with the service given.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Avaliar os resultados econômicos do seguimento farmacoterapêutico (SFT) em pacientes com diabetes melito tipo 2 em farmácias comunitárias privadas do sistema suplementar de Saúde. MÉTODOS: Foi realizado estudo clínico prospectivo com 161 pacientes separados em dois grupos, dos quais somente um recebeu SFT durante 12 meses. A partir dos resultados, foram calculados os dados de efetividade e os custos. O desfecho primário foi a avaliação econômica do SFT por meio da utilização de um indicador de efetividade (variação de hemoglobina glicada), relacionada aos custos do atendimento farmacêutico. Os desfechos secundários foram os valores de pressão arterial, circunferência abdominal e índice de massa corporal dos pacientes, que foram utilizados e relacionados a custos do atendimento do farmacêutico. RESULTADOS: Foi observada uma redução adicional de 1,3 por cento da HbA1 no grupo que recebeu SFT em comparação ao grupo controle. Os custos anuais por paciente do grupo SFT relacionados à redução de 1 por cento nos valores da HbA1 foram de R$ 78,83. Para melhoria no controle dos pacientes diabéticos tipo 2, esse recurso pode ser implementado com o investimento anual médio de R$ 456,05 por paciente, utilizando SFT e monitorização com testes de glicemia. CONCLUSÕES: É possível obter redução da HbA1 para níveis desejados por meio da utilização do SFT. Este pode ser considerado um recurso adicional para o alcance do controle metabólico, resultando, nesse estudo, em um custo de R$ 76,00 paciente/ano, para redução de 1 por cento nos valores da HbA1.


OBJECTIVE: Assess economics results of Pharmacotherapeutic Follow-up (PF) in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 in community pharmacies from additional Health system. METHODS: In a prospective clinic study, 161 patients were divided into two groups, of which only one group received PF for 12 months. From the results, we calculated data of effectiveness and costs. The primary endpoint was the economic evaluation PF by using an indicator of effectiveness (changes in glycated hemoglobin), which was related to the costs of pharmaceutical care. Secondary endpoints were values of blood pressure, waist circumference and body mass index of patients, also related to costs of pharmaceutical care. RESULTS: A real reduction of 1.3 percent of HbA1 was observed in the PF group, in comparison to control group. The annual cost of the reduction in 1 percent in HbA1 values in the PF group patients was $45.15. This feature to improve the control of type 2 diabetic patients can be implemented with annual investments of about $225.76 per patient, using PF and monitoring of blood glucose test. CONCLUSIONS: It is possible to reduce the HbA1 values to desired levels by using PF. This can be considered an additional resource for the attainment of metabolic control, resulting in this study a cost of $37.62 per patient, per year, to reduce 1 percent in the HbA1 values.

ABSTRACT

This present observational, longitudinal, and non-concurrent study was developed with the purposes of evaluate the profile of patients attended by a pharmacotherapeutic follow-up service and describe the Drug-Related Problems (DRPs) found over there; determine the proportion of DRPs between the health problems presented by the studied population, classifying them and identifying the situations related with their appearance. The study was developed at the School Pharmacy of Newton Paiva University Center, Belo Horizonte, MG, during the period from 2001 November up to 2003 November. Ninety seven patients have been evaluated, the majority of female sex (66.0 percent), with up to 8 years of scholarship (45.4 percent), mean age of 56.7 ± 13.0 years; mean of 4 ± 2 diagnosed diseases; 7 ± 6 complaints and 4 ± 2 medications per patient. Nine hundred and twelve health problems have been identified: 56.5 percent uncontrolled. From the uncontrolled problems, 380 (73.6 percent) were DRPs and between these, 81 (21.3 percent) were risks for DRP. From the 97 followed-up patients, 89 (91.7 percent) have presented at least one DRP during the follow-up. The more frequent DRPs were related to effectiveness (53.2 percent), to necessity (25.2 percent) and to safety (21.6 percent). A great number of uncontrolled problems was observed, as well as the possibility to resolve them by means of pharmaceutical care, indicating so the resolutive potential of this practice.


O presente estudo observacional, longitudinal, não concorrente teve por objetivos avaliar o perfil dos pacientes atendidos por um serviço de acompanhamento farmacoterapêutico e descrever os 'problemas relacionados com medicamento' (PRM) encontrados; determinar a proporção de PRM dentre os problemas de saúde apresentados pela população estudada, classificá-los e identificar situações relacionadas com seu surgimento. O estudo foi realizado na Farmácia Escola do Centro Universitário Newton Paiva, em Belo Horizonte, MG, durante o período de novembro de 2001 a novembro de 2003. Foram avaliados 97 pacientes, maioria mulheres (66,0 por cento), com até 8 anos de escolaridade (45,4 por cento), média de idade de 56,7 ± 13,0 anos; média de 4 ± 2 doenças com diagnóstico; 7 ± 6 queixas e 4 ± 2 medicamentos por paciente. Foram identificados 912 problemas de saúde: 56,5 por cento não controlados. Dos problemas não controlados, 380 (73,6 por cento) eram PRM e desses 81 (21,3 por cento) eram riscos de PRM. Dos 97 pacientes acompanhados 89 (91,7 por cento) apresentaram pelo menos um PRM durante o acompanhamento. Os PRMs mais frequentes foram relacionados à efetividade (53,2 por cento), à necessidade (25,2 por cento) e à segurança (21,6 por cento). Observou-se grande número de problemas não controlados e a possibilidade de resolvê-los por meio da atenção farmacêutica, demonstrando o potencial resolutivo dessa prática.

ABSTRACT

Leucemia mieloide crônica (LMC) é uma desordem genética de etiologia desconhecida, caracterizada por crescimento aumentado e não regulado de células precursoras mieloides na medula óssea. LMC está associada com uma característica translocação cromossômica chamada de cromossoma Philadelphia. Esse é um estudo observacional descritivo de pacientes com LMC do Hospital Universitário Walter Cantídio, Universidade Federal de Ceará, Brasil. O objetivo foi estudar a eficácia e a frequência de efeitos colaterais da terapia com mesilato de imatinibe. Vinte e seis pacientes foram incluídos: 09 em fase crônica (34,61 por cento), 06 em fase acelerada (23,08 por cento) e 11 em crise blástica (42,31 por cento). Os casos em fase crônica tiveram intolerância prévia para interferon alfa (IFN- α). Resposta hematológica completa foi observada em sete pacientes, cinco em fase crônica, um em acelerada e um em crise blástica. Durante o primeiro ano de tratamento, quatro pacientes em fase crônica mostraram resposta citogenética completa. Um destes pacientes perdeu a resposta posteriormente. Nenhum paciente em fase acelerada ou crise blástica mostrou resposta citogenética completa. Entre os 18 pacientes que estavam vivos no fim do estudo, apenas quatro (22,22 por cento) não tiveram nenhuma queixa. Os mais comuns efeitos adversos foram: edema (50 por cento), adinamia (33,33 por cento), dor óssea e/ou articular (33,33 por cento), cefaléia (27,78 por cento), cãimbra (16,67 por cento), diarreia (16,67 por cento), insônia (16,67 por cento), prurido (16,67 por cento), equimoses (11,11 por cento), náuseas (11,11 por cento), dor epigástrica (5,55 por cento), eritema (5,55 por cento), lacrimejamento (5,55 por cento), ressecamento da pele e lábios (5,55 por cento), rush (5,55 por cento), sudorese (5,55 por cento). Uma minoria de pacientes desenvolveu resistência ao imatinibe. Para superar a resistência e aumentar a resposta positiva aos inibidores de tirosino- quinase...


Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a genetic disorder of unknown etiology characterized by increased and unregulated growth of myeloid precursor cells in the bone marrow. CML is associated with a characteristic chromosomal translocation known as the Philadelphia chromosome. This is a descriptive observational study of CML patients in the Walter Cantídio University Hospital, Federal University of Ceará, Brazil. The aim of the study was to investigate the efficacy and common side effects of imatinib mesylate therapy. Twenty- six patients were included in the study: 9 in the chronic phase (34.61 percent), 6 in the accelerated phase (23.08 percent) and 11 in blast crises (42.31 percent). The cases in the chronic phase had previous intolerance to interferon alpha (IFN- α). Complete hematological responses were observed in 7 patients: 5 in the chronic phase, 1 in the accelerated phase and 1 in blast crisis. During the first year of treatment, 4 patients in the chronic phase presented complete cytogenetic responses. One of these patients subsequently lost response. No patient in the accelerated phase or blast crisis showed complete cytogenetic response. Complete molecular response was confirmed in 1 patient in the chronic phase. Among the 18 patients who were alive at the end of the study, only 4 patients (22.22 percent) had no complaint. The most commonly reported adverse events were: edema (50 percent), adynamia (33.33 percent), bone and / or joint pain (33.33 percent), headaches (27.78 percent), cramps (16,67 percent), diarrhea (16.67 percent), insomnia (16.67 percent), itching (16.67 percent), ecchymosis (11.11 percent), nauseas (11.11 percent), epigastric pain (5.55 percent), erythema (5.55 percent), shedding of tears (5.55 percent), dehydration of the skin and lips (5.55 percent), rush (5.55 percent), and sweating (5.55 percent). A minority of patients evolved with imatinib resistance. Newer drugs and trials are being developed to...
