Abstract:

Background: In the treatment of hypertension, physicians’ attitudes and practice patterns are receiving increased attention as contributors to poor blood pressure (BP) control. Thus, current use of antihypertensive drugs in primary care was analyzed and the association with selected physician and patient characteristics was assessed. Methods: The Hypertension and Diabetes Risk Screening and Awareness (HYDRA) study is a cross-sectional point prevalence study of 45,125 primary care attendees recruited from a representative nationwide sample of 1912 primary care practices in Germany.

Abstract:

Background: According to the United Nations AIDS Reference Group (2010) and World Health Organization (2010:2), approximately 33 million people in the world had HIV/AIDS in 2009 of which 2.6 million were children. More than 30 million of these individuals resided in low– and middle–income countries. South–Africa had the highest prevalence of HIV/AIDS in the world with an estimated 5.2 million patients in 2009 (Statistics South Africa, 2010:2). Although the prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection among children is reported to be high, little is known about other medication ad

Abstract:

The American Medical Association (AMA) has estimated that as many as 40 percent of all prescriptions are issued for off-label use. Off-label prescribing is considered to be clinically beneficial and rational in certain life-threatening situations. However, off-label use can pose risks to patients in terms of adverse drug events as well as contribute to rising pharmaceutical costs. The anti-anemic drugs erythropoietin and darbepoetin are costly, and there are significant off-label uses for these drugs some of which are not supported with clinical evidence, hence were selected as study drugs.

Abstract:

Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death worldwide (Kishore et al., 2011), therefore how to prevent and treat this condition is of great importance to health care professionals and patients. Patients struggle to afford these medications which can ultimately influence their health outcome. Treatment of cardiovascular disease conditions may require several drugs and this causes an increase in health cost to the patient (Burapadaja Siriporn et al., 2007).The promotion of the use of generic medication and generic substitution is seen as one of the approaches to improve access to cardiova

Rationale: The changing demographics of HV/AIDS have implications for the future use of health care resources. Objective: To determine the location of death (hospital, community hospice, home) of HIV-infected injection drug users (IDU's) and type of care (intensive, acute, palliative) at time of death; and to examine demographic, behavioral, and other variables in order to identify factors associated with receiving palliative care. Methods: IDU's who died with HIV/AIDS in Vancouver between 1991 and 1996 were identified through seven sources, including hospital data bases and direct services

Abstract:

The primary purpose of this dissertation was to understand if emergency department utilization patterns are associated with subsequent drug overdose death. Specifically, it was hypothesized that that increasing emergency department (ED) utilization (as measured by such indices as two or more visits in 72-hours, two or more visits in a 30-day period, four or more visits in a 365-day period) was associated with increasing risk of fatal unintentional drug overdose compared with patients without two or more visits in a given time frame. Using ED data from the New York State Department of He

It has been proven in the literature that kidney disease in dialysis pateints、number of comorbidity、number of medication use and diabetes are risk factors for drug related problems. Nevertheless, among the various drug related problems in pre-ESRD and dialysis patients, the prescription patterns of inappropriate drugs (contraindication drug

Despite more hazardous exposure of COPD risk factors in Asia area than in Western countries, the disease burden remains unmeasured in most of the Asian countries, including Taiwan. Besides, there is also lack of drug utilization pattern of COPD in Taiwan to evaluate the rationality of drug use. Furthermore, comorbidities contribute to overall severity and increase mortality and hospitalization rates of COPD patients. Especially, coronary

However, the information of use of medication and disease flare up in Taiwan is still limited. Thus, we conducted a longitudinal study by National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD). The study included the patients who applied catastrophic illness certificate between 2000 and 2008 and analyzed the cumulative probabilities of medication and disease flare up in follow-up period. We also analyzed the risk factors of disease flare u

In contrast, there was limited evidence on the use of zolpidem one day before and the risk of MVC. Objectives: To determine whether the use of zolpidem one day before is associated with increased risk of MVC. Methods: We identified 12,929 subjects ever hospitalized due to MVC from the data of 1,000,000 people randomly sampled from the reimbursement database 1998-2004
