Abstract:

Les personnes atteintes de démence sévère, résidant dans un centre d’hébergement et de soins de longue durée (CHSLD) et approchant la fin de leur vie, ne reçoivent pas systématiquement des soins palliatifs, malgré que ce niveau de soins soit le plus approprié. La plupart de ces personnes reçoivent également un grand nombre de médicaments dont les effets indésirables peuvent contribuer à des souffrances évitables. Une approche axée sur les soins palliatifs serait possiblement associée à une réduction de la charge médicamenteuse et, du même coup, à une prescription plus appropriée. Les objectifs

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.

Background: Inappropriate use of medications (IUM), in particular inappropriate prescribing and non-adherence to prescribed medications, are important causes of drug-related morbidities (DRMs).

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

Abstract:

It is widely believed that many medications are dangerous for infants if taken by nursing mothers. So, they often choose to give up the drug in order to continue breastfeeding or, conversely, to discontinue breastfeeding to take the medication. This occurs even for medications considered as compatible by strong scientific evidence. The lack of coherent official information on the use of medications during lactation is probably one of the main reasons inducing an excess of prudence, based on presumption of risk rather than on evidence. In addition, literature suggests that breastfee

Introduction. Research into medications for Alzheimer's disease (AD) is primarily conducted in drug trials, were efficacy is assessed by changes in score on established outcome measurement scales. However, physicians' and caregivers' perspectives on efficacy, along with their perspectives on other factors that may influence prescribing (e.g., adverse effects), remain largely unexplored. The objective of this thesis is to examine these perspectives to gain a broader understanding of the factors that can influence the use of medications in AD.<br>Methods. Two studies were conducted.

Patients with Alzheimer's disease or other types of dementia often require long-term care in nursing facilities (NF) where they may display out-of-character behaviors complicating their care.

Abstract:

Estados e municípios puderam definir seu próprio elenco de medicamentos a ser ofertados aos seus cidadãos com a Política Nacional de Medicamentos (1998), e a consequente descentralização da Assistência Farmacêutica. Percebeu-se a oportunidade de realizar um estudo para analisar peculiaridades de um conjunto de Relações Municipais de Medicamentos Essenciais (Remumes) de municípios paulistas, visando a racionalidade das listas como instrumento norteador da aquisição, distribuição, prescrição e planejamento da AF municipal. Considerou-se as possibilidades de diferentes cenários, dependente da qua

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION: Gastrointestinal cancers are one of the most fatal malignancies worldwide in both genders and all ages while breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in women internationally. Angiogenesis inhibitors and epidermal growth factor inhibitors are mainly used in colorectal and gastric cancer, while cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors are mainly used in the treatment of breast cancer. However, studies of cost-effectiveness are needed to assess whether the high prices for these drugs can be justified with better outcomes and to what extent the total expenditure is acceptable f

Abstract:

The work presented in this dissertation focuses on the association between sleep medication use, poor sleep, and falls in community-dwelling adults 65 years or older. Sleep complaints and the consumption of medications to aid sleep are common in older adults. Psychotropic medications, such as sedative hypnotics, are associated with risk of falls in older adults. However, very few studies have assessed the impact of poor sleep and sleep medication use on the risk of falls in community-dwelling older adults. In the first project, a cross-sectional analysis of the Health and Retirement Study (HRS

Abstract:

Introduction :Les anticoagulants oraux soulèvent des problématiques majeures en termes de risque hémorragique et de bon usage. L’informatisation du dossier médical offre la possibilité d’accéder à de grandes bases de données que l’on peut exploiter de manière automatisée. L’objectif de ce travail est de montrer comment la réutilisation de données peut permettre d’étudier des problématiques liées aux anticoagulants et accompagner une démarche d’assurance de la qualité des soins. MéthodesCe travail a été réalisé sur les données informatisées (97 355 séjours) d’un centre hospitalier général. Pour
