Evaluate the impact of educational intervention in decreasing ADEs in elderly patients in a hospital setting.
Randomised prospective study.
The study was performed in France in the Paris area, in 16 rehabilitation geriatric centres of APHP (Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris). Patient capacity per centre varied from 15 to 57 with a total of 526.
All the patients > or = 65 years hospitalized during the 4 week study period were included.
During a first 2 week phase without intervention ADE's were recorded in all centres. Then units were then randomised for an educational intervention or not. The educational phase lasted 1 week, without ADE tracking. Then, both types of units (I+ and I-) recorded ADEs for 2 weeks. Possible drug-related incidents were detected using a standardized check list (nurses) and a weekly review of all charts by investigators. Possible drug-related incidents were analysed by a group of reviewers selected from the authors to classify them as ADE or not.
576 patients (mean age: 83.6 +/- 7.9 years) were consecutively included. The mean number of drugs at inclusion was 9.4 +/- 4.24 drugs per patient. 223 out of 755 events were considered "probable" ADEs (29.5%). Among the 223 ADEs, 62 (28%) could have been prevented. The main outcome of this trial was the change in the proportion of ADEs in elderly patients in the intervention-units, compared to the control group. The main errors were: to high a dose (26%), double therapy (21%), under dose (13%), inappropriate drug (13%), drug-drug interaction (6%), previous same adverse drug reaction (3%) and miscellaneous (11.18%). After a specific educational intervention program, there were fewer ADEs in the intervention group (n = 38, 22%) than in the control group (n = 63, 36%; p = 0.004).
Educational programs could help reduce the prevalence of ADEs by 14% and encourage physicians to change outdated prescription habits.
评估在医院环境中对老年患者进行教育干预以减少 ADE 的效果。
随机前瞻性研究。
这项研究在法国巴黎地区的 16 家 APHP(巴黎公立医院集团)康复老年医学中心进行。每个中心的患者容纳量从 15 人到 57 人不等,总共 526 人。
所有在 4 周研究期间住院的年龄≥65 岁的患者均被纳入。
在没有干预的第一阶段(2 周),所有中心均记录 ADE。然后,单位随机接受或不接受教育干预。教育阶段持续 1 周,不跟踪 ADE。然后,两种类型的单位(I+和 I-)均记录了 2 周的 ADE。使用标准化检查表(护士)和调查员每周审查所有图表来检测可能的药物相关事件。由作者挑选的一组评审员对可能的药物相关事件进行分析,以将其归类为 ADE 或非 ADE。
连续纳入 576 名患者(平均年龄:83.6±7.9 岁)。纳入时平均药物数量为 9.4±4.24 种药物/患者。755 项事件中有 223 项被认为是“可能”的 ADE(29.5%)。在这 223 项 ADE 中,有 62 项(28%)是可以预防的。该试验的主要结果是干预组与对照组相比,老年患者中 ADE 的比例变化。主要错误是:剂量过高(26%)、双重疗法(21%)、剂量不足(13%)、药物不当(13%)、药物相互作用(6%)、先前相同的药物不良反应(3%)和杂项(11.18%)。在特定的教育干预计划后,干预组的 ADE 较少(n=38,22%),而对照组的 ADE 较多(n=63,36%;p=0.004)。
教育计划可以帮助减少 14%的 ADE 发生率,并鼓励医生改变过时的处方习惯。
