Objectives: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of potentially inappropriate prescriptions (PIPs) and potential prescription omissions (PPOs) in a Spanish cohort of people living with HIV (PLWH) aged ≥65 years and to identify risk factors for the presence of PIPs and PPOs. Methods: This retrospective cross‐sectional study was conducted across 10 public hospitals in the Autonomous Community of Madrid, Spain. Clinical and demographic data were cross‐checked against hospital and community pharmacy dispensation registries. PIPs and PPOs were assessed using the American Geriatrics Society (AGS)/Beers and Screening Tool of Older Persons' Prescriptions (STOPP)/Screening Tool to Alert Doctors to Right Treatment (START) criteria. Risk factors for PIPs and PPOs and agreement between AGS/Beers and STOPP/START criteria were statistically analysed. Results: This study included 313 PLWH (median age 72 years), of whom 80.5% were men. PIP prevalence rates were 29.4% and 44.4% based on the AGS/Beers and STOPP criteria, respectively. The concordance between AGS/Beers and STOPP criteria was moderate. Benzodiazepines and proton pump inhibitors were the chronic comedications most commonly involved in PIPs. PPOs were observed in 61.4% of the patients. The leading omissions were insufficient influenza and pneumococcal vaccine coverage and inadequate bone health‐related treatments. The number of chronic comedications, female sex, neuropsychiatric disorders, and cancer diagnosis were risk factors for PIPs, whereas osteopenia and osteoporosis were risk factors for PPOs. Conclusions: A high prevalence of PIPs and PPOs was observed in our cohort of older PLWH. These findings emphasize the importance of comprehensive medication reviews in this population to reduce inappropriate medication use and address their specific and underserved therapeutic needs.

- Abstract
FUNDAMENTOS // Los inhibidores de la integrasa se han posicionado recientemente en todas las Guías Clínicas de VIH como tratamiento antirretroviral de primera línea para el VIH. Sin embargo, dos de estos fármacos se han asociado también a efectos adversos a nivel del sistema nervioso central, concretamente con alteraciones del sueño. El objetivo del trabajo fue analizar la influencia de bictegravir y dolutegravir en la calidad del sueño en personas que viven con VIH (PVIH). MÉTODOS // Se realizó un estudio observacional y transversal entre los meses de diciembre de 2020 y enero de 2021 en las PVIH de las consultas de atención farmacéutica del hospital. Se recogieron variables demográficas y de adherencia. La calidad del sueño se midió mediante el Cuestionario de Pittsburgh o PSQI. Las PVIH se clasificaron en 2 grupos: el grupo estudio, constituido por participantes con bictegravir o dolutegravir en su tratamiento, y el grupo control, integrado por el resto de PVIH. Se analizó la influencia de las variables recogidas sobre el resultado del PSQI mediante la prueba de chi cuadrado/odds ratio para variables categóricas y el de t de Student o U de Mann Whitney para variables continuas. RESULTADOS // Se incluyeron 119 PVIH, de las cuales un 64% en el grupo estudio y un 67% en el grupo control sufrían trastornos del sueño según el PSQI (p=0,788). Tampoco hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas cuando se compararon los diferentes componentes del sueño entre los dos grupos. CONCLUSIONES // Un elevado porcentaje de PVIH, independientemente de si el TAR incluye bictegravir o dolutegravir, tienen problemas relacionados con la calidad del sueño. No se encuentra correlación entre la calidad del sueño y el tratamiento con bictegravir o dolutegravir comparado con el resto de tratamientos.

- Abstract
ObjectivesEvidence on the effectiveness of remdesivir when used in real-life clinical practice is controversial. This study aims to analyse its effectiveness and the factors associated with increased mortality in non-critically ill patients with COVID-19 pneumonia who require supplemental low-flow oxygen and received remdesivir.MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted at Ramón y Cajal University Hospital (Madrid, Spain) which included all patients treated with remdesivir in our institution during the second pandemic breakout in Spain, from August to November 2020. Treatment with remdesivir was limited to non-critically ill patients with COVID-19 pneumonia requiring low-flow supplemental oxygen, with a treatment duration of 5 days.ResultsA total of 1757 patients were admitted with COVID-19 pneumonia during the study period, of which 281 non-critically ill patients were treated with remdesivir and included in the analysis. Mortality at 28 days after initiation of treatment was 17.1%. The median (IQR) time to recovery was 9 days (6–15). 104 (37.0%) patients had complications during hospitalisation, with renal failure being the most frequent (31 patients; 36.5%). After adjustment for confounding factors, high-flow oxygen therapy was associated with increased 28-day mortality (HR 2.77; 95% CI 1.39 to 5.53; p=0.004) and decreased 28-day clinical improvement (HR 0.54; 95% CI 0.35 to 0.85; p=0.008). A significant difference in survival and clinical improvement was identified between patients treated with high and low-flow oxygen.ConclusionThe 28-day mortality rate in patients treated with remdesivir needing low-flow oxygen therapy was higher than that published in clinical trials. Age and increased oxygen therapy needed after the beginning of treatment were the main risk factors associated with mortality.

- Abstract
Background: The increasing complexity of clinical trial protocols and the very nature of investigational drugs increase the likelihood of prescribing errors and require comprehensive control and monitoring of treatments. The aim of this study was to measure and analyze the potential risks of prescribing errors in investigational drugs. Methods: A prospective, descriptive, and observational study was carried out in a third-level hospital in Madrid, for one month in 2017. Manual prescribing errors (EP) in investigational drugs and potential risks of harm to the patient were analyzed. A descriptive statistical analysis was performed, including the absolute and relative frequency for the variables. Results: A total of 254 medical orders corresponding to 327 lines of treatment and 274 different drugs were reviewed, of which 83% were categorized as “high-risk”. Results showed 217 (85.4%) EP within the identification of the medical order and 1,045 (319,6%) in the treatment. The risk level of harm to the patient was high for all EP in patient identification and moderate for all EP in the clinical trial identification. The lines of treatment showed an especially high-risk potential for EP in dosage (25%) and frequency (41%). Conclusions: The high rate of EP found, along with the high-risk potential these entail, reflects the need for improving the security process when prescribing investigational drugs in our field., Fundamentos: La creciente complejidad de los protocolos de ensayo clínico y la propia naturaleza de los medicamentos en investigación aumentan la probabilidad de errores de medicación, a la par que exigen un control y seguimiento exhaustivo de los tratamientos. El objetivo de este artículo fue medir y analizar el riesgo potencial de los errores de prescripción de los medicamentos en investigación. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio prospectivo, descriptivo y observacional en un hospital de tercer nivel de Madrid, durante un mes en 2017. Se analizaron los errores de prescripción (EP) manual de medicamentos en investigación y el riesgo potencial de causar daño al paciente. Se realizó un análisis estadístico descriptivo, incluyendo la frecuencia absoluta y relativa para las variables. Resultados: Se revisaron 254 órdenes médicas correspondientes a 327 líneas de tratamiento y 274 medicamentos distintos, de los cuales el 83% se categorizaron de riesgo alto. Se encontraron 217 (85,4%) EP en la identificación de la orden médica y 1.045 (319,6%) en el tratamiento. El nivel de riesgo de causar daño al paciente fue alto para todos los EP de identificación del paciente y moderado para todos los EP de identificación del ensayo clínico. En las líneas de tratamiento, el riesgo potencial fue alto, principalmente en los EP de dosis (25%) y frecuencia (41%). Conclusiones: El elevado número de EP encontrados, junto con el alto riesgo potencial que supone la mayoría de ellos, refleja la necesidad de mejorar la seguridad del proceso de prescripción de medicamentos en investigación en nuestro entorno.

Objective: The aim of this study was to stratify medications used in hospital care according to their potential risk. Method: The RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method was used. Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical subgroups were classified according to their potential risk. A literature search, bulletins, and alerts issued by patient safety organizations were used to identify the potential safety risk of these subgroups. Nine experts in patient/medication safety were selected to score the subgroups for their appropriateness in the classification. Two evaluation rounds were conducted: the first by email and the second by a panel meeting. Results: A total of 298 Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical subgroups were evaluated. They were classified into three scenarios (low, medium, and high risk). In the first round, 266 subgroups were classified as appropriate to the assigned scenario, 32 were classified as uncertain, and none were classified as inappropriate. In the second round, all subgroups were classified as appropriate. The most frequent subgroups in the low-risk scenario belonged to group A “Alimentary tract and metabolism” (44%); the most frequent in the medium-risk scenario belonged to group J “Antiinfectives for systemic use” (32%); and the most frequent in the high-risk scenario belonged to group L “Antineoplastic and immunomodulating agents” (29%) and group N “Nervous system” (26%). Conclusions: Based on the RAND/UCLA appropriateness method, Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical subgroups used in hospital care were classified according to their potential risk (low, medium, or high). These lists can be incorporated into a risk-scoring tool for future patient/medication safety studies. Resumen Objetivo: Estratificar los medicamentos utilizados en el ámbito hospitalario según el riesgo de provocar daño al paciente. Método: Se utilizó la metodología RAND/UCLA para clasificar los subgrupos terapéuticos del código Anatómica, Terapéutica, Química según el riesgo de provocar daño al paciente. Para ello se realizó una revisión de la evidencia disponible en publicaciones, boletines y alertas de organismos de seguridad del paciente. A continuación se seleccionaron nueve expertos en seguridad del paciente/medicamento para evaluar la clasificación de los subgrupos terapéuticos: una primera ronda de evaluación por vía telemática y una segunda ronda en una reunión presencial en la que se presentaron y discutieron los resultados de la primera. Resultados: Se evaluaron 298 subgrupos terapéuticos. Se clasificaron en tres escenarios (riesgo bajo, medio y alto). En la primera ronda se clasificaron 266 subgrupos como adecuados al escenario asignado, 32 subgrupos fueron clasificados como inciertos y ninguno fue clasificado como inapropiado. En la segunda ronda, todos los subgrupos fueron clasificados como adecuados. Los subgrupos más frecuentes en el escenario de riesgo bajo pertenecieron al Grupo A: “Tracto alimentario y metabolismo” (44%), en el de riesgo medio al Grupo J: “Antiinfecciosos para uso sistémico” (32%), y en el de riesgo alto al Grupo L: “Agentes antineoplásicos e inmunomoduladores” (29%) y al Grupo N: “Sistema nervioso” (26%). Conclusiones: La metodología RAND/UCLA ha permitido estratificar los subgrupos utilizados en el ámbito hospitalario según el riesgo potencial de provocar daño al paciente. Esta estratificación puede servir como herramienta para futuros estudios de seguridad en la utilización de medicamentos.

- Abstract
El interés por disminuir los riesgos asociados a la asistencia sanitaria ha llevado a numerosas organizaciones internacionales y nacionales, a establecer estrategias y recomendaciones para que las instituciones dispongan de sistemas que mejoren la calidad, la seguridad y la eficiencia de la atención a los pacientes. La utilización de los medicamentos es un proceso clave dentro del sistema sanitario, en el que pueden producirse errores, tal como se ha descrito en numerosos estudios durante las últimas décadas. El Análisis Modal de Fallos y Efectos (AMFE) es una herramienta de seguridad que tiene un impacto favorable en el entorno asistencial del paciente(1). Es un método de análisis prospectivo y sistemático que permite identificar situaciones en las que un proceso o el diseño de un proceso pueden fallar, por qué pueden fallar, valorar los efectos de errores potenciales y priorizar medidas correctoras. El AMFE consta de 5 pasos y se realiza por un equipo multidisciplinar. Éste elabora un diagrama de flujo del proceso, a partir del cual se identifican los posibles fallos que pueden producirse en cada etapa (modos de fallo) y, con una matriz de riesgo (Hazard Score), se priorizan las acciones que deben implantarse, para evitar que se produzcan los mismos. Es adecuado para analizar el proceso de utilización de los medicamentos(1-3). De hecho, es una herramienta recomendada por el ISMP(4). Se han publicado estudios que lo utilizan para reducir los errores de medicación(5), mejorar la seguridad en la elaboración de la nutrición parenteral(6) y fórmulas magistrales, identificar los riesgos del sistema de distribución de medicamentos en dosis unitarias(7, 8) y la administración de medicamentos en general(9) , y específicamente de la quimioterapia(10-15)..., The aim to reduce the risks associated to the healthcare has lead to many national and international organizations to set strategies and recommendations so the institutions are provided with systems that would enhace the patient care quality, security and efficiency. As described in many studies during the last decades, the use of drugs is a key process within the health system, in which errors may occur. The Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a security tool with a positive impact in the patient care setting(1). Is a prospective and systematic method that allows to identify situations where a process or a process design can fail, the reason of the failure, assess the effects of potential errors and prioritize corrective measures. The FMEA consists on 5 steps and is performed by a multidiciplinar team. This team, designs a diagram process flow where the potential failures in each step will be identified (failure modes) and in order to prevent them from occuring, actions to be implemented are prioritized with a hazard score. It is suitable for analyzing the process of medicines use(1-3). In fact, it is a tool recommended by the ISMP(4). Several studies have been published where it is used to reduce medication erros(5), improve the safety in parenteral nutritions(6) and compounding, identify the unit dose distribution system risks(7, 8), and the drug administration in general, and specifically chemotherapy(10-15)...

Medicamentos - Abstract
El interés por disminuir los riesgos asociados a la asistencia sanitaria ha llevado a numerosas organizaciones internacionales y nacionales, a establecer estrategias y recomendaciones para que las instituciones dispongan de sistemas que mejoren la calidad, la seguridad y la eficiencia de la atención a los pacientes. La utilización de los medicamentos es un proceso clave dentro del sistema sanitario, en el que pueden producirse errores, tal como se ha descrito en numerosos estudios durante las últimas décadas. El Análisis Modal de Fallos y Efectos (AMFE) es una herramienta de seguridad que tiene un impacto favorable en el entorno asistencial del paciente(1). Es un método de análisis prospectivo y sistemático que permite identificar situaciones en las que un proceso o el diseño de un proceso pueden fallar, por qué pueden fallar, valorar los efectos de errores potenciales y priorizar medidas correctoras. El AMFE consta de 5 pasos y se realiza por un equipo multidisciplinar. Éste elabora un diagrama de flujo del proceso, a partir del cual se identifican los posibles fallos que pueden producirse en cada etapa (modos de fallo) y, con una matriz de riesgo (Hazard Score), se priorizan las acciones que deben implantarse, para evitar que se produzcan los mismos. Es adecuado para analizar el proceso de utilización de los medicamentos(1-3). De hecho, es una herramienta recomendada por el ISMP(4). Se han publicado estudios que lo utilizan para reducir los errores de medicación(5), mejorar la seguridad en la elaboración de la nutrición parenteral(6) y fórmulas magistrales, identificar los riesgos del sistema de distribución de medicamentos en dosis unitarias(7, 8) y la administración de medicamentos en general(9) , y específicamente de la quimioterapia(10-15)...

Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) are computerized tools designed to help healthcare professionals to make clinical and therapeutic decisions, with the objective of improving patient care. Prescription-targeted CDSS have the highest impact in improving patient safety. Although there are different designs and functionalities, all these systems will combine clinical knowledge and patient information in a smart manner, in order to improve the prescription process. With the emergence of new technologies and advances in smart decision systems, the implementation of said systems can achieve an important improvement in terms of the prescription process and patient safety. The design and implementation of these systems should be performed by a multidisciplinary team of professionals, where Pharmacists will play an important role due to their technical knowledge about medications and the technologies associated to their use. This article aims to provide basic guidelines for the design and adequate implementation, monitoring and follow-up of Clinical Decision Support Systems within the setting of pharmacological prescription. Los sistemas de soporte a la decisión clínica son herramientas informáticas diseñadas para ayudar a los profesionales sanitarios en la toma de decisiones clínicas y terapéuticas, con la finalidad de mejorar la atención a los pacientes. Los sistemas dirigidos a la prescripción son los que mayor impacto tienen en la mejora de la seguridad de los pacientes. Aunque existen diferentes diseños y funcionalidades, estos sistemas coinciden en combinar de manera inteligente el conocimiento clínico y la información de los pacientes, para mejorar el proceso de prescripción. Con la aparición de las nuevas tecnologías y el avance de los sistemas inteligentes de decisión, la implantación de estos sistemas puede lograr una mejora importante en el proceso de prescripción y en la seguridad de los pacientes. El diseño e implantación de estos sistemas se debe llevar a cabo por un equipo multidisciplinar de profesionales, donde el farmacéutico tiene un papel destacado gracias a sus conocimientos técnicos sobre los medicamentos y sobre las tecnologías asociadas a la utilización de los mismos. Con este artículo se pretende aportar las directrices básicas para el diseño y la correcta implantación, monitorización y seguimientos de los Sistemas de Soporte a la Decisión Clínica en el ámbito de la prescripción farmacológica.

- Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to explore the prevalence of potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) in a cohort of older adults with advanced cancer referred to palliative care. Secondary objectives were to describe the categories of identified PIMs and assess risk factors associated with their presence in this population., Methods: This retrospective, observational study evaluated patients with advanced cancer admitted to a tertiary university hospital in Madrid, Spain and referred to palliative care between 1 January 2020 and 30 June 2020. Demographic, clinical, and pharmacotherapeutic data were obtained from the electronic medical records and regional databases. PIMs were assessed using the Screening Tool of Older Persons Prescriptions in Frail adults (STOPPFrail) criteria, V1., Results: Among 123 patients (median age 80 years (IQR 73.5-87), 64.2% male), 74% presented at least one PIM according to the STOPPFrail criteria. The most common categories of inappropriate medications were lipid-lowering therapies, proton pump inhibitors, calcium supplements, and oral antidiabetics. The number of chronic comedications was significantly associated with PIM presence., Conclusions: Our study found a high prevalence of PIM among a cohort of older adults with advanced cancer and short life expectancy. This underlines the need for a comprehensive medication review to optimise pharmacotherapy in this population., Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared., (© Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2024.

- Abstract
Purpose: To define the signals that a new artificial intelligence (AI) system must emit to improve adverse drug events (ADEs) management in oral antineoplastic agents (OAA)., Methods: A multidisciplinary group of experts in patient safety was set up to define what signals the new AI system must emit to improve ADEs management in OAAs. The baseline data for the new AI system were generated through an observational and ambispective study carried out in a university hospital. All patients who met the inclusion criteria were selected consecutively every working day for 6 months. The ADEs were collected by interview and by the review of health records. The ADEs were categorised according to how they could be detected: patient, analysis, examination., Results: The group defined what signals the AI system must emit to improve ADEs management in OAAs: a signal to educate the patient when the possible ADEs were categorised as patient, a signal as a reminder to request a blood test or a microbiological culture when the possible ADEs were categorised as analysis, and a signal as a reminder for the necessity of a clinical examination when the possible ADEs were categorised as examination. A total of 1652 ADEs were reported in the interviews (ADE-interview) with the pharmacist, and doctors noted 1989 ADEs in the health record (ADE-HR). The most frequent ADEs were identified in the patient category., Conclusion: This study opens a new way for better management of ADEs and is the first step in the development of a future technology, which will improve the quality of life of patients., Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared., (© European Association of Hospital Pharmacists 2024.

- Abstract
Background: Antiretroviral therapy has transformed HIV from a progressive and often fatal infection to a chronic disease. Currently, people living with HIV (PLHIV) have near-normal life expectancy; however, they face accelerated ageing and a rise in non-AIDS-defining HIV-associated conditions. Comorbidities increase the number of prescribed drugs and, therefore, the risk of polypharmacy and prescribing potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs). Still, there are no specific tools to identify PIMs in older PLHIV, which opens a pathway to investigate the particularities in the prescription of medication in this population., Methods: We conducted a scoping review in 5 electronic databases for studies reporting the use of tools to identify PIMs in older PLHIV. No language or date restrictions were applied. To complete the search, abstracts published in the most relevant HIV Conferences and Events in their editions from 2010 to 2022 were screened., Results: Of 50,193 records returned (13,701 of the databases and 36,492 of the Congresses), 39 studies met the inclusion criteria. Most studies were single-centre and conducted in Europe. Twenty-eight studies were cross-sectional, and most researchers used explicit criteria, mainly Beers and STOPP-START criteria, to identify PIMs., Conclusions: Potentially inappropriate prescribing is frequent among older PLHIV. Explicit conventional tools to identify PIMs in older populations may need to be adapted to tackle the needs of PLHIV. Implicit tools may be more valid, although their use is more time-consuming, and standardization is complex., Competing Interests: The authors have no funding or conflicts of interest to disclose., (Copyright © 2023 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.

- Abstract
Objective: HIV Clinical Guidelines have positioned integrase inhibitors recently as first-line treatment. However, two of these drugs have also been associated with adverse side effects on the central nervous system, especially with sleep disturbances. The objective was to analyse the influence of bictegravir and dolutegravir on the sleep quality in HIV patients., Methods: An observational, cross-sectional study was carried out between December 2020 and January 2021 in HIV patients attended in a pharmacy care clinic. Demographic and adherence variables were collected. Sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh questionnaire or PSQI. We classified patients into two groups: patients with bictegravir or dolutegravir in their treatment (study group) and the rest (control group). The influence of the variables collected on the PSQI result was analysed using the Chi-Square test for categorical variables and the student t-test or Mann-Whitney U test for continuous variables., Results: One hundred and nineteen patients were included. 64% in the study group and 67% in the control group suffered from sleep disorders according to the PSQI questionnaire (p=0.788). Neither were statistical differences found when the different components of sleep were analysed between the two groups., Conclusions: A high percentage of patients, regardless of whether their treatment includes bictegravir or dolutegravir, have problems with their sleep quality. We didn't find a correlation between sleep quality and treatment with bictegravir or dolutegravir compared to the other treatments., Competing Interests: Disclosure The authors report no conflicts of interest in this work.

- Abstract
Objective: The increasing complexity of clinical trial protocols and the very nature of investigational drugs increase the likelihood of prescribing errors and require comprehensive control and monitoring of treatments. The aim of this study was to measure and analyze the potential risks of prescribing errors in investigational drugs., Methods: A prospective, descriptive, and observational study was carried out in a third-level hospital in Madrid, for one month in 2017. Manual prescribing errors (EP) in investigational drugs and potential risks of harm to the patient were analyzed. A descriptive statistical analysis was performed, including the absolute and relative frequency for the variables., Results: A total of 254 medical orders corresponding to 327 lines of treatment and 274 different drugs were reviewed, of which 83% were categorized as "high-risk". Results showed 217 (85.4%) EP within the identification of the medical order and 1,045 (319,6%) in the treatment. The risk level of harm to the patient was high for all EP in patient identification and moderate for all EP in the clinical trial identification. The lines of treatment showed an especially high-risk potential for EP in dosage (25%) and frequency (41%)., Conclusions: The high rate of EP found, along with the high-risk potential these entail, reflects the need for improving the security process when prescribing investigational drugs in our field., Competing Interests: Disclosure The authors report no conflicts of interest in this work.
