ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT

Objective:

To determine the frequency and nature of the Drug Related Problems (DRP) in neonates with cardiac diseases admitted to an Intensive Care Unit.

Methods:

This prospective cross-sectional study was developed at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of a teaching maternity hospital in Brazil from January 2014 to December 2016. All neonates diagnosed with any heart disease (congenital heart disease, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias, etc.) and who were admitted to the NICU for more than 24 hours with at least one prescribed drug were included in the study. Demographic and clinical data were collected from the records of the institution's clinical pharmacy service. DRP and their respective interventions were independently reviewed and classified by two pharmacists. DRP classification was performed through the Pharmaceutical Care Network Europe v6.2 system.

Results:

122 neonates were included in the study. The frequency of neonates exposed to DRP was 76.4% (confidence interval of 95% [95%CI] 65.9-82.0), with a mean of 3.2±3.8 cases/patient. In total, 390 DRP were identified, of which 49.0% were related to "treatment effectiveness", 46.7% to "adverse reactions" and 1.0% to "treatment costs". The medicines most involved in DRP were Vancomycin (10.2%; n=46), Meropenem (8.0%; n=36) and Furosemide (7.1%; n=32). Pharmacists performed 331 interventions, of which 92.1% were accepted by physicians and nurses.

Conclusions:

The study showed that DRP are very frequent in patients with cardiac diseases hospitalized in the NICU, predominating problems related to the effectiveness and safety of the drug treatment.
RESUMO
RESUMO

Objetivo:

Determinar a frequência e a natureza dos problemas relacionados a medicamentos (PRMs) em neonatos cardiopatas internados em uma unidade de terapia intensiva.

Métodos:

Trata-se de um estudo transversal prospectivo desenvolvido na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal (UTIN) de uma maternidade de ensino do Brasil, de janeiro de 2014 a dezembro de 2016. Todos os neonatos diagnosticados com alguma doença cardíaca (cardiopatias congênitas, cardiomiopatias, arritmias etc.) e internados na UTIN por período superior a 24 horas, com pelo menos um medicamento prescrito, foram incluídos no estudo. Dados demográficos e clínicos foram coletados a partir dos registros do serviço de farmácia clínica da instituição. Os PRMs e suas respectivas intervenções foram revisadas e classificadas independentemente por dois farmacêuticos. A classificação dos PRMs foi realizada por meio do sistema Pharmaceutical Care Network Europe versão 6.2.

Resultados:

Cento e vinte e dois neonatos foram incluídos no estudo. A frequência de neonatos expostos a PRM foi de 76,4% (intervalo de confiança de 95% [IC95%] 65,9-82,0), com média de 3,2±3,8 casos por paciente. Ao todo, 390 PRM foram identificados, sendo que 49,0% estiveram relacionados à "efetividade do tratamento", 46,7% a "reações adversas" e 1,0% a "custos do tratamento". Os medicamentos mais envolvidos em PRM foram vancomicina (10,2%; n=46), meropenem (8,0%; n=36) e furosemida (7,1%; n=32). Os farmacêuticos realizaram 331 intervenções, sendo 92,1% aceitas por médicos e enfermeiros.

Conclusões:

O estudo mostrou que PRMs são muito frequentes em pacientes cardiopatas internados em UTIN, predominando problemas relacionados à efetividade e segurança do tratamento medicamentoso.
