RESUMO
OBJECTIVE： To evaluate the medication of elderly inpatients receiving multiple medication， to evaluate the effects of pharmaceutical care provided by clinical pharmacists， and to provide reference for clinical drug use of elderly patients. METHODS： The elderly inpatients receiving multiple medication were selected from Beijing Friendship Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University during Oct. 2018 to Feb. 2019. The process of pharmaceutical care for elderly inpatients was established and developed through the CGA team of the elderly. PCNE classification system was used to analyze drug-related problems； Bayliff tool was used to evaluate the harmfulness of drug-related problems； Morisky questionnaire was used to analyze medication compliance. Drug use was followed up 3 months after discharge to evaluate the effect of clinical pharmacist’s intervention. RESULTS： A total of 71 elderly inpatients with multiple medication were included， 73.24％ of them （52 patients） suffered from 54 drug-related problems， 32 of which were related to therapeutic effects （59.26％）， 13 （24.07％） drug adverse events （possible）， 9 unnecessary drug therapy problems （16.67％）. There were 69 causes of pharmaceutical related problems， of which 58 （84.06％） were doctor’s orders. The main causes were drug selection （36.23％）， drug dosage （24.64％） and drug dosage form （20.29％）. Totally 143 interventions were conducted by clinical pharmacists， including 102 successful interventions， with success rate of 71.33％. The highest acceptance of intervention was adverse drug events reporting（100％）， followed by patient level （97.56％）， doctor level （65.12％） and drug level （52.83％）. Among 54 pharmaceutical-related problems， the most potential hazards were grade 1 hazards， involving 35 problems （64.81％）. The score of medication compliance in patients who received medication education from clinical pharmacists was （6.19±0.58）， which was significantly higher than （4.13±1.62） at the initial stage of admission （P＜0.05）. Follow-up results showed that 6 patients discontinued drugs by themselves， and 13 patients took drugs additionally by themselves. CONCLUSIONS： Drug related problems were common in elderly inpatients receiving multiple medication. Clinical pharmacists can establish a feasible pharmaceutical care process suitable for clinical needs according to the actual clinical situation. With the help of relevant evaluation tools such as relevant drug criteria， drug instructions and drug software， and at the same time， according to the physiological and pathological conditions of patients， they can cooperate with clinicians to select suitable therapeutic drugs for elderly patients to reduce the phenomenon of unreasonable medication and multiple medication， so as to improve the effectiveness and safety of drug use in the elderly.
RESUMO
Objective: To analyze the prescriptions of analgesic drugs for the patients with cancer pain, and promote the rational use of narcotic and analgesic prescriptions. Methods: Using the PCNE classification system, the list of all drug-related problems (DRPs) from 115 patients admitted to the standardized treatment of cancer pain from January to December 2017 was analyzed. Re-sults: In our hospital from January to December 2017, there were 52 cases of prescribed DRPs for narcotic and analgesic drugs in the standardized treatment of cancer pain with the incidence of 45. 22% . DRPs mainly focused on treatment safety with the incidence of 72. 31% . The drug choice caused the highest incidence of DRPs accounting for 63. 24% , followed by dose selection accounting for 20. 59% . Conclusion: There are still unreasonable prescriptions of narcotic analgesia in our hospital. According to the PCNE classifi-cation system, it is necessary to strengthen the communication with clinicians, carry out education for the patients with cancer pain, and further educate pharmacy staff on the knowledge of analgesic drugs. Through the above measures, the regulation of prescription medication for narcotic analgesics can be intensified.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effect and role of Pharmaceutical Care Network Europe (PCNE) classification system (8.0 edition) on drug-related problems (DRPs) in respiration department.METHODS:Clinical pharmacists provided pharmaceutical care for DRPs in a patient with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease of respiration department by using PCNE classification system (8.0 edition).Type,cause,intervention measure,intervention acceptability and state of DRPs were analyzed.RESULTS:PCNE classification system (8.0 edition) mainly included 5 aspects as problems,reasons,plan intervention,the acceptance of intervention plan,the situation of DRPs.Clinical pharmacists confirmed the type of DRPs,with the help of the system and solved two items of DRPs.Physicians accepted intervention and fully implemented it.CONCLUSIONS:Clinical pharmacists can provide standardardized pharmaceutical care systematically,discover and solve DRPs in time through PCNE classification system (8.0 edition) so as to guarantee safe,effective and reasonable drug use.
