Abstract:

Topical corticosteroids (TCs) are commonly prescribed for inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis due to their anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. Despite their effectiveness, prolonged or improper use can lead to adverse effects like skin thinning, steroid-induced dermatitis, and systemic complications such as adrenal suppression. A study was conducted to assess awareness, misuse, and perceptions of TCs among 114 participants, including patients, pharmacists, and doctors. The results revealed significant gaps in knowledge and usage patterns. Whil

Abstract:

Asthma is one of the most common childhood diseases. Most children respond to low doses of corticosteroids and/or anti-leukotrienes. However, a small percentage remain symptomatic. They require high doses of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and anti-leukotrienes, sometimes with long-acting bronchodilators (LABA) and occasionally systemic corticosteroids (SC). However, we frequently observe that the only treatment they receive for exacerbations is short-acting beta-agonists (SABA) and oral corticosteroids (OC) without adding ICS as a maintenance treatment to prevent new episodes. This leads to fre

Abstract:

Background: Corticosteroids are a class of steroid hormones produced by the adrenal gland and are used to treat many diseases, including autoimmune diseases and inflammatory diseases. Besides their role in many diseases, long-term use, misuse, and overuse cause side effects including hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and osteoporosis. Objective: The aim of current study is to evaluate the prescription pattern of corticosteroids in different community pharmacies, among patients, in Lahore. Methods: The cross-sectional stratified convenient study performed using a validated questionnaire to analy

Abstract:

Therapeutic use, overuse, abuse, and diversion of controlled substances in managing chronic non-cancer pain continue to be an issue for physicians and patients. The challenge is to eliminate or significantly curtail abuse of controlled prescription drugs while still assuring the proper treatment of those patients. Some physicians are apprehensive regarding the use of chronic opioid therapy in chronic non-cancer pain due to a perceived lack of proven evidence, the misuse of opioids, tolerance, dependence, and hyperalgesia. However, others have criticized the underuse of opioids, resulting in th

Abstract:

Prescription of oxygen therapy has traditionally poor compliance across the globe and mostly given to patients on verbal orders leading to under or overuse. The British Thoracic Society (BTS) guidelines (2017) recommend that oxygen therapy must be prescribed. Our study aimed to assess the prescription practice of oxygen therapy for patients admitted to acute medical assessment unit and general medical wards at Hamad General Hospital, Qatar and to achieve 80% compliance of valid oxygen therapy prescription implementing the quality improvement model against the BTS guidelines.The prescription pr

Abstract:

Oxygen is an important drug frequently used in the management of acutely unwell hospital patients. However, oxygen overuse can have fatal side effects particularly for those patients at risk of iatrogenic hypercapnia. British Thoracic Society Guidelines state that oxygen must be prescribed for all patients, with target saturations stipulated on the prescription for patient safety. A quality improvement project was undertaken with the aim to improve the oxygen prescription rate across the respiratory ward at a district general hospital, over a period of 3 months. Quality improvement methods wer

Abstract Background Discriminating viral from bacterial lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) in children is challenging thus commonly resulting in antibiotic overuse. The Feverkidstool, a validated clinical decision rule including clinical symptoms and C-reactive protein, safely reduced antibiotic use in children at low/intermediate risk for bacterial LRTIs in a multicentre trial at emergency departments (EDs) in the Netherlands. Objectives Using routine data from an observational study, we simulated the impact of the Feverkidstool on antibiotic prescriptions compared with observed antib

Abstract:

The World Health Organization and the National Malaria Treatment Guideline recommend parasitebased malaria diagnosis by light microscopy or Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDTs). Positive result is the only indication for anti-malarial treatment whereas negative cases should be reassessed for other common causes of fever. However, contrary to this and for reasons not to be cleared, health workers (HWs) still prescribe antimalarial to patients with negative malarial rapid diagnostic test (mRDT) results of antimalarial drug resistance. To explore the possible reasons for this practice, we assessed compl

Abstract:

Osteoporosis demands systematic management for optimum use of resources. Guidelines from the Primary Care Rheumatology Society (PCRS) aim to improve its diagnosis and treatment. We identified all admissions over three months to a district general hospital of patients with fracture of femur, vertebra, or distal forearm and of women who underwent oophorectomy or hysterectomy. We audited their care using the criteria that the diagnosis and risk of osteoporosis should be recorded; that management should follow PCRS guidelines; and that this information should be communicated to general practitione
