ABSTRACT

Objetivos: Detectar de forma sistemática según los criterios STOPP-START la medicación inadecuada y los fármacos necesarios no prescritos en pacientes del servicio del sistema personalizado de administración de medicamentos (SPD) de una farmacia comunitaria. Métodos: Estudio cuasi experimental pre-post sin grupo control realizado en una farmacia comunitaria de Málaga durante 4 meses (noviembre 2013-febrero 2014). Los sujetos de estudio seleccionados son 84 pacientes mayores de 65 años inscritos en el servicio de SPD. Se registraron los siguientes datos: edad, sexo, medicamentos, criterios STOPP-START identificados. La identificación de los criterios se realizó con la herramienta informática CheckTheMeds®. Resultados: Se revisaron las historias farmacoterapéuticas de 84 pacientes. Un 54,8% de los pacientes presentaron como mínimo un criterio STOPP-START, con una media de 1,07 (DE=1,3) criterios por paciente. De estos pacientes, un 36,9% solo presentaban criterios STOPP, un 32,6% criterios START y un 30,5% criterios STOPP-START. En los criterios START la situación más prevalente corresponde al sistema endocrino (Antiagregantes plaquetarios en la diabetes mellitus si coexisten uno o más factores mayores de riesgo cardiovascular) con un 15,6%. Respecto a los criterios STOPP se ha detectado como la situación más frecuente el sistema nervioso central y psicofármacos con un 14,4% (Uso prolongado de benzodiacepinas de vida media larga o benzodiacepinas con metabolitos de larga acción). Conclusiones: La revisión sistemática de la medicación según criterios STOPP-START en pacientes del servicio de SPD mediante el programa informático CheckTheMeds® puede constituirse en una buena herramienta para mejorar el seguimiento de pacientes ancianos, polimedicados y/o con patologías crónicas. Es necesario mejorar las intervenciones farmacéuticas dirigidas a aumentar la calidad de la prescripción derivando al médico este tipo de situaciones (AU)


Objectives: To detect systematically according to the STOPP-START criteria inappropriate prescribing and necessary drugs not prescribed in patients of the Dose Administration Aids (DAAs) of a community pharmacy. Methods: A pre-post quasi-experimental study without a control group was performed in a community pharmacy in Malaga for 4 months (November 2013-february 2014). The subjects of the study are 84 patients over 65 years old in the PDS service. The following data were recorded: age, sex, medications and STOPP-START criteria identified. The identification of the criteria was performed with the software tool CheckTheMeds®. Results: Pharmacotherapeutic histories of 84 patients were reviewed. 54.8% of patients had at least one STOPP-START criteria, with an average of 1.07 criteria per patient. Of these patients, 36.9% only presents STOPP criteria, START criteria 32.6% and 30.5% STOPP-START criteria. In the START criteria the most prevalent situation corresponds to the endocrine system (Antiplatelet therapy in diabetes mellitus with co-existing major cardiovascular risk factors) with 15.6%. Regarding the STOPP criteria was detected as the most frequent situation the central nervous system and psychotropic drugs with 14.4% (Long-term, long-acting benzodiazepines and benzodiazepines with long-acting metabolites). Conclusions: The systematic review of the medication according to STOPP-START criteria in patients from the PDS service using the CheckTheMeds® software can become a good tool to improve the monitoring of elderly, polymedicated and/or patients with chronic diseases. Pharmaceutical interventions should be improved in order to increase the quality of prescribing by deriving to the physician such situations (AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: Identificar mujeres posmenopáusicas con riesgo de osteoporosis mediante ultrasonografía ósea cuantitativa y valorar la intervención médica tras la determinación de la densidad mineral ósea. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo transversal desarrollado en una farmacia comunitaria mediante la selección de las mujeres posmenopáusicas que acudieron durante el mes de junio de 2005. Se consideró criterio de exclusión estar en tratamiento con calcio, vitamina D, terapia hormonal sustitutiva, raloxifeno, calcitonina o bifosfonatos. A todas las mujeres que acceden a participar se les realizó un ultrasonografía ósea en el calcáneo derecho con el dispositivo Sahara (Hologic). Se aplicaron los criterios de clasificación de la Organización Mundial de la Salud, que clasifican a los pacientes con una DMO de más de 2,5 desviación estándar inferior a la media de una adulto joven (T-Score < -2,5) como osteoporótico, y a los pacientes con T-Score entre -1 y -2,5 como osteopénicos. Resultados: De las 100 mujeres estudiadas, 11 (11%) presentaban riesgo de osteoporosis y 61 (61%) riesgo de osteopenia. El 18,5% de las mujeres con un índice de masa corporal < 30 presentaba riesgo de osteoporosis y el 63% osteopenia. Conclusiones: La ultrasonografía ósea cuantitativa constituye una herramienta útil en farmacia comunitaria para el cribado de osteoporosis y supone una nueva vía de integración en la atención sanitaria (AU)


Objectives: To identify postmenopausal women with risk of osteoporosis through quantitative ultrasound imaging (QUI) and to value the medical intervention after the determination of the bone mineral density (BMD). Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study developed in a community pharmacy. During the month of June of 2005 the community pharmacy enrolled postmenopausal women into the study. Women in treatment with calcium, vitamin D, hormone replacement therapy, estrogen receptor modulators, calcitonin or biphosphonates were considered criteria for exclusion. To all the women that consent to participate, the pharmacist measured BMD with the device Sahara Hologic Ultrasound Bone Densitometer at right calcaneus. Following the World Health Organization, women were classified as osteoporotic if their T-Score was less than -2.5 and as osteopenic if their T-Score ranged between -2.5 and -1.0. Results: Of the 100 women screened, 11 (11%) presented risk of osteoporosis and 61 (61%) of osteopenia. The 18.5% postmenopausal women with body mass index lesser than 30 presented risk of osteoporosis and the 63.0% osteopenia. Conclusions: The QUI constitutes a useful tool in community pharmacy for the screening of osteoporosis and it supposes a greater integration of the community pharmacy within the health care (AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: Describir y analizar las demandas de antibióticos orales sin receta médica en una farmacia comunitaria. Métodos: Estudio observacional prospectivo. El estudio tuvo lugar en una farmacia comunitaria de Benalmádena (Málaga). Durante 7 meses a todos los pacientes que solicitaban un antibiótico sin receta médica se le hacían una serie de preguntas para recoger los siguientes datos: edad, sexo, antibiótico solicitado, a quién va destinado el antibiótico, quién aconsejó el antibiótico y motivo de solicitud (problema de salud). Resultados: Se registraron un total de 397 solicitudes de antibióticos orales sin receta médica. El grupo de edad que más antibióticos solicita es el de 31 a 45 años (39,5%), tanto en hombres como en mujeres. El 47,3% de las solicitudes no las realiza el consumidor final del antibiótico. La automedicación supuso un 57,5% de los antibióticos solicitados y la recomendación médica sin receta fue de un 42,5%. La demanda total de antibióticos por grupo terapéutico, en orden de mayor a menor, fueron penicilinas (57,3%), macrólidos (18,3%), quinolonas y antiinfecciosos urinarios (4,6%), cefalosporinas (4,0%), tetraciclinas (3,6%) y sulfamidas (2,8%). Los principales motivos de solicitud fueron problemas de garganta (29,0%) y problemas dentales (23,4%). Conclusiones: La automedicación con antibióticos en nuestro entorno es un problema importante por lo que es necesario poner en marcha actuaciones de educación sanitaria para eliminar la automedicación y conseguir un uso racional de antibióticos (AU)


Objectives: to describe and analyze the demand for oral antibiotics without a medical prescription in a Community Pharmacy. Methods: prospective observational study.
