Analysis of pharmacotherapy in senior home residents

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Age-related changes demand increased attention paid to pharmacotherapy in geriatric patients. To help to ensure its quality, several lists of potentially inappropriate medicines in elderly were compiled. The aim of the study was to evaluate medicine prescription in senior home residents within the period of one year from the viewpoint of use of potentially inappropriate medicines. 70 patients in institutionalized care from January 1st, 2014 to January 1st, 2015, of the age ? 65 years of age, 41 women and 29 men, were involved in the study. In the first month of the evaluation, 543 items of medicinal products, representing 133 types of medicines were prescribed to 69 residents. In average it was 7.87 medicinal products per person. Upon comparing the prescribed medicines spectrum with the list of potentially inappropriate medicines in elderly it was ascertained that 34.3% of the senior home residents took these medicines. In the observed group were identified 24 potentially inappropriate medicines which were prescribed 90 times. The study revealed that pharmacotherapy in senior home residents during the evaluation period did not change markedly from the viewpoint of number and type of prescribed medicines. A relatively high prescription of potentially inappropriate medicines was observed in the evaluated group. In total, 216 types of potential drug-drug interactions that occurred 314 times were identified in 61 patients.
