Investigation of the presence of potential drug-drug interactions in the adult intensive care unit: a retrospective study

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, Üniversite Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Erişkin Yoğun Bakım Ünitesindeki hastalarda potansiyel ilaç-ilaç etkileşimleri türü ve sıklığı açıklamaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışma Türkiye'de bulunan 18 yataklı erişkin Yoğun Bakım Ünitesine sahip Üniversite Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesinde yürütülmüştür. Çalışmaya Ocak 2013 ve Haziran 2013 tarihleri arasında yoğun bakım ünitesine yatırılan 111 hasta alınmıştır. İlaçlar anatomiksel kimyasal tedavi sınıflandırılmasına göre sıralanmıştır. Yoğun Bakım Ünitesine yatırılan 111 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Potansiyel ilaç-ilaç etkileşimleri analizi için Lexi-Comp veritabanı kullanıldı.Bulgular: Altı aylık bir dönemde, 1681 potansiyel ilaç-ilaç etkileşimi toplam 102 (% 91.9) hastada belirlendi. 101 hastanın potansiyel ilaç-ilaç etkileşimlerinin en yaygın türü C tipidir (1232,% 73.2). Hastaların potansiyel ilaç-ilaç etkileşimleri ile polifarmasi varlığı, hastalık sayısı ve kalış süresi arasında anlamlı bir ilişki vardı. Potansiyel ilaçilaç etkileşimleri olan hastalarda meydana gelen ölümsayısı 68 (% 66.7) ve yoğun bakım ünitesinden taburcu edilen hasta sayısı 34 (% 33.3)' tür. D ve X-tipi potansiyel ilaç-ilaç etkileşimlerinin varlığı ile ilaçların sayısı ve yoğun bakımda kalış süresi arasında anlamlı bir ilişki vardı. Ayrıca ölüm oranı ile D-tipi ve X-tipi potansiyel ilaç-ilaç etkileşimleri arasında ilişki anlamlı derecede yüksekti. 49 (% 44.1) hastada adrenalin ve dopamin arasındaki etkileşim en sık görülen potansiyel ilaç-ilaç etkileşimleridir. Tartışma: Yoğun bakım hastalarında çoklu ilaç kullanımı ve hastalıkların sayısı; potansiyel ilaç-ilaç etkileşimleri ve polifarmasi görülme riskini, hastanede kalış süresini ve mortalite oranını artırmaktadır

Yetişkin yoğun bakım ünitesinde potansiyel ilaç-ilaç etkileşimleri varlığının araştırılması: Retrospektif bir çalışma

Aim: The goal of this study is to describe the type and frequency of potential drug-drug nteractions in patients in the adult Intensive Care Unit of Research and Education University Hospital.Material and Method: This study was carried out in the research and education university hospital 18-bed adult Intensive Care Unit in Turkey. The study included 111 hospitalized patients in the Intensive Care Unit between January 2013 and June 2013. The drugs were classified according to the anatomical therapeutic chemical classification. Analysis of potential drug-drug interactions was performed using Lexi-Comp database.Results: In a six-month period, 1681 potential drug-drug interactions were detected in 102 (91.9 %) patients. In 101 patients the most common type of potential drug-drug interactions was C type (1232, 73.2%). The presence of potential drug-drug interactions and polypharmacy in patients had a significant relationship with the number of drugs, the number of diseases and the length of stay. In patients with potential drug-drug interactions, death occured in 68 (66.7%) patients and 34 (33.3%) patients were discharged from the intensive care unit. The presence of D and X-type potential drug-drug interactions had a significant relationship with the between number of drugs used and the length of stay in the intensive care unit. Also death rate was significantly higher among D-type and X-type potential drug-drug interactions. Adrenaline and dopamine interactions were the most frequent potential drug-drug interactions in 49 (44.1%) patients. Discussions: In intensive care patients a multiple drug use and number of diseases increase potential drug-drug interactions, polypharmacy, the length of stay and the mortality rate. Additionally, the types of potential drug-drug interactions increased the same above mentioned parameter
