Abstract:

Background: Since older patients with dyslipidemia frequently receive many prescriptions, medication errors are typical and expected in this population. This risk has increased by using potentially inappropriate medications. The 2019 Beers criteria were used in this study to investigate potentially inappropriate medication use among older individuals with dyslipidemia. Methods: A cross-sectional retrospective analysis used data from electronic medical records from an ambulatory-care environment. Patients with dyslipidemia who were older adults (>65 years old) were included. To describe and

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION: The ageing population means prescribing for chronic illnesses in older people is expected to rise. Comorbidities and compromised organ function may complicate prescribing and increase medication-related risks. Comorbid depression in older people is highly prevalent and complicates medication prescribing decisions. AIM: To determine the prevalence of potentially inappropriate medication use in a community-dwelling population of older adults with depressive symptoms. METHODS: The medications of 191 community-dwelling older people selected because of depressive symptoms for a random

Abstract Introduction Inappropriate prescription of medications is a problem of growing interest in geriatrics. Initiatives have been ongoing to evaluate interventions targeting the hazards of inappropriate prescription of medications; Deprescribing is one of these initiatives. However, no current study has examined medicine-related perceptions toward deprescribing inappropriate medications among older adults. Methods A convenience sample of older adults who regularly visited the outpatient clinics during July 2023 for regular checkups were recruited. Data were collected by a graduate nursing

Abstract:

ImportanceInappropriate use of antipsychotic medications in nursing homes is a growing public health concern. Residents exposed to higher levels of socioeconomic deprivation in the area around a nursing home may be currently exposed, or have a long history of exposure, to more noise pollution, higher crime rates, and have less opportunities to safely go outside the facility, which may contribute to psychological stress and increased risk of receiving antipsychotic medications inappropriately. However, it is unclear whether neighborhood deprivation is associated with use of inappropriate antips

La plupart de ces personnes reçoivent également un grand nombre de médicaments dont les effets indésirables peuvent contribuer à des souffrances évitables.

Older people admitted to hospital are at high risk of rehospitalization and medication errors.

The aims of this thesis were to further study the effects of the intervention and to investigate possibilities of targeting the intervention by identifying predictors of treatment response or adverse health outcomes.

Healthcare personnel (HCP) frequently wear gloves when they care for patients in Standard Precautions to prevent contact with potentially infectious blood or body fluids. When HCP use gloves appropriately they reduce the risk of cross-contamination and decrease the risk of healthcare-associated infections (HAI). However, if HCP use gloves inappropriately they may inadvertently spread pathogens to patients and the patients’ environment. This study used a descriptive structured observational design to investigate three aspects of HCP glove use in a United States long-term care facility (LTCF). F

AbstractThe book “Rational Fluid Therapy” aims to provide guidance on the appropriate use of intravenous (IV) fluids, which are often overlooked as medications despite being a cornerstone of patient care. In this introductory chapter, the importance of seeing IV fluids as drugs with indications, contra-indications, and potential adverse effects is emphasized. Inappropriate fluid therapy can have deleterious effects and cause patient morbidity and mortality. Therefore, the need for careful oversight and guidance is stressed in fluid prescription, as well as the implementation of fluid stewardsh

Abstract:

Objectives. To assess the evidence on the effects of computerized clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) on the prevention of medication errors and adverse drug events, related implementation outcomes such as rates of medication alert overrides, and unintended consequences of use. We also summarized the literature around the effective implementation of a CDSS. Methods. We followed the rapid review processes of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Evidence-based Practice Center Program. We queried PubMed and the Cochrane Library to locate relevant systematic reviews and primary stu

Abstract:

Knowledge of the pharmacological differences between opioid and non-opioid TIVA adjuncts is essential for providing safe and effective TIVA. Whilst opioids play a large role in providing the analgesic component of TIVA, non-opioid adjuncts should also be considered. Selected concentrations of TCI infusions should be individualised to the patient, extent of surgery, and other drugs administered. It is essential to calibrate the TCI to the patient’s response at all times. These basic principles reiterate the recommendations from the international guidelines for TIVA administration (31), and re

Abstract:

Objectives. To review the evidence on harms associated with patient-clinician real time encounters using video-based telehealth and determine the effectiveness of any related patient safety practices (PSPs). PSPs are interventions, strategies, or approaches intended to prevent or mitigate unintended consequences of healthcare delivery and improve patient safety. This review provides information that clinicians and health system leaders need to determine how to minimize harms from increasing real-time use of telehealth. Methods. We followed rapid review processes of the Agency for Healthcare Re

Abstract:

Background. Unhealthy alcohol use is the third leading preventable cause of death in the United States, accounting for more than 140,000 deaths annually. Only 0.9 percent of Americans who reported having alcohol use disorder (AUD) in the past year indicated they received medication-assisted AUD treatment. Methods. We updated a 2014 Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) report on pharmacotherapy for AUD treatment, following AHRQ Evidence-based Practice Center Guidance. We assessed efficacy and comparative effectiveness of specific medications for improving consumption outcomes (Key

Abstract:

This brief summarizes the Cochrane Review, “Baclofen for Alcohol Use Disorder,” by R. Agabio, R. Saulle, S. Rösner, and S. Minozzi (https://doi.org/10.1002/14651858.CD012557.pub3). The Cochrane Review examines evidence for benefits and harms of baclofen on achieving and maintaining abstinence or reducing alcohol consumption in people with alcohol use disorder (AUD) compared to placebo, no treatment, or any other pharmacological relapse prevention treatment. Review authors conclude that baclofen likely reduces the risk of relapse to any drinking and increases the percentage of abstinent days, m

Abstract:

Pesticides are agricultural technologies that farmers use to control pests and weeds and remain an important modern input for crop production including vegetable farming. There are many types of pesticides, such as insecticides, fungicides, rodenticides and herbicides, that target different threats to crops. While the potential production benefits of chemical pesticides are undeniable, people are becoming more aware of their risks. There is an array of dangers associated with inappropriate pesticide use. As pesticides are a poison, they pose inherent health risks to the farmers exposed to them

Abstract:

Objectives. To assess the use, effectiveness, and implementation of telehealth-supported provider-to-provider communication and collaboration for the provision of healthcare services to rural populations and to inform a scientific workshop convened by the National Institutes of Health Office of Disease Prevention on October 12–14, 2021. Data sources. We conducted a comprehensive literature search of Ovid MEDLINE®, CINAHL®, Embase®, and Cochrane CENTRAL. We searched for articles published from January 1, 2015, to October 12, 2021, to identify data on use of rural provider-to-provider telehealth
