RESUMEN

Introducción:

Se denominan interacciones farmacológicas (IF) a las relaciones que se establecen entre los fármacos dentro del organismo, que pueden resultar en cambios en la eficacia y seguridad de los mismos, a veces con efectos desfavorables. La polifarmacia genera una inmensa cantidad de combinaciones de drogas que aumenta el riesgo de IF. Este crecimiento es exponencial. Existen softwares que permiten conocer los pares de drogas capaces de generar IF. Estudiamos uno de ellos Interdrugs® "http//www.medicamentos-rothlin.com.ar/” para conocer su desempeño y utilizarlo para estudiar el riesgo de IF en pacientes ancianos hospitalizados. Materiales y

Métodos:

Estudio transversal. Se ingresaron pacientes hospitalizados mayores de 65 años. Se consignaron datos demográficos, motivos de ingreso, patologías crónicas y medicación utilizada durante las primeras 24 hs de hospitalización. Las prescripciones se analizaron con el software "Interdrugs®” para pesquizar IF. Fueron clasificadas en leves, moderadas y severas. Se estimaron las frecuencias de motivos de ingreso, drogas prescriptas y severidad de las IF. Se correlacionaron y compararon las frecuencias de IF moderadas a severas con los pacientes sin riesgo de IF o con IF leves. Se utilizaron los programas estadísticos SPSS 17 y EpiDat 3.
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Drug interactions (DI) are the relationships established between drugs inside the body, which can result in changes in the efficacy and safety of themselves, sometimes with adverse effects. Polypharmacy generates an immense amount of drug combinations that makes DI more frequent. There are software that allow to know the pairs of drugs capable of generating DI. We studied Interdrugs® http//www.medicamentosrothlin.com.ar/" for their performance and use it to study the risk of DI in a group of hospitalized older patients. Materials and

Methods:

A cross-sectional study. We included patients 65 years old or older admitted to common room in three hospitals at Cordoba.We recorded demographic data, reason for admission, diagnoses of chronic diseases and medication used during the first 24 hours of hospitalization. The prescriptions were analyzed with the software "Interdrugs®" to search for DI. These were classified as mild, moderate, or severe. Frequencies were estimated for admission reasons, drugs prescription and severity of DI. Were correlated and compared moderate to severe DI frequencies with patients who had no risk of DI or mild DI. We used SPSS 17 and EpiDat 3 for statistical analysis.
