Abstract
La prescripción potencialmente inapropiada (PPI) en los ancianos atendidos en los servicios de urgencias y en sus unidades vinculadas, es un problema frecuente. Se ha asociado con un mayor riesgo de eventos adversos de los medicamentos, de la morbilidad y de la utilización de los recursos sanitarios. Una de las herramientas más utilizadas y validadas en nuestro entorno para la detección de la PPI en pacientes ancianos son los criterios explícitos STOPP-START. Objetivos: El objetivo principal fue estudiar la asociación entre las PPI detectadas mediante los criterios STOPP-START y la aparición de eventos adversos a los 30 y 180 días en los pacientes de 75 años o más dados de alta desde una Unidad de Corta Estancia (UCE). Los objetivos secundarios fueron: 1) Determinar la frecuencia de PPI, según los criterios STOPP-START, en los pacientes del estudio; 2) Comparar la frecuencia de pacientes con alguna PPI al ingreso, durante la estancia y al alta de la UCE; 3) Describir los grupos terapéuticos más frecuentemente implicados en las PPI. Metodología: Estudio analítico observacional de una cohorte retrospectiva que incluyó a los pacientes del registro FRAIL-SSU procedentes de la UCE del Hospital Clínico San Carlos (HCSC) entre del 1 de febrero al 30 de abril de 2014. El registro FRAIL-SSU es un registro multicéntrico de una cohorte clínica multiprósito por muestreo por oportunidad de 8 UCEs españolas que tuvo lugar en 2014. Los criterios de inclusión fueron pacientes de 75 años o más dados de alta desde la UCE del HCSC y que consintieron participar. Se excluyeron los que no se pudo obtener la información requerida bien por falta de capacidad del paciente o de colaboración de la familia o el cuidador principal...
Potentially Inappropriate Prescriptions (PPI) in elderly people who attend to an Emergency Department (EM) or an Emergency Short-Stay Unit (ESSU) are frequent. They have been associated to a higher risk of adverse drug reactions, comorbidity and increased demand for health care services. One of the most used tools to detect PPI in elderly patients is the so called STOPP-START criteria, which has been validated for the Spanish version. Objectives: The main objective was to study the association between PPI, detected by STOPP-START criteria, at discharge from an ESSU, and the development of adverse events at 30 days and 180 days in patients aged 75 and older. The secondary objectives were the following: 1) To determine PPI frequency in the study patients; 2) To compare PPI frequencies at admission, during patients stay and at discharge in an ESSU; 3) To find the drugs most frequently involved in PPI. Methodology: This is a cohort observational study that included patients from the FRAIL-SSU study, a previous research project performed in the ESSU of the Hospital Clínico San Carlos in Madrid from February to April, 2014, as part of a multicenter prospective study developed in eight Spanish ESSU. FRAIL-SSU inclusion criteria were patients aged 75 and older discharged from an ESSU and who gave their informed consent. Patients whose required information or informed consent was not available were excluded. A database from this previous study was used, that included socio-demographic variables, comorbidity, socio-functional and cognitive status, diagnosis of depression, and screening of frail elderly or elderly at risk. To determine the outcome variables telephone calls were performed 30 and 180 days after patients discharge...
