9 Expected Increase in HC Expenditures for HC and NHC services by US National Statistics Bureau, 2012

10 QUESTION V: According to the EU ADHOC- AgeD in Home Care project (representative samples of HC older clients in 11 EU countries), the prevalence of polypharmacy and excessive polypharmacy in HC older clients was: 1/ > 30% 6+ drugs and >10% 9+ drugs 2/> 30% of 9+ drugs and> 60% of 6+ drugs 3/> 50% of 6+ drugs and >20% of 9+ drugs

14 QUESTION VII: The most problematic ethical issue in individualized drug therapy in older patients is the fact that: 1/ medications and their basic efficacy and safety are not fully tested in RCTs 2/ we statistically estimate appropriate drug dosing for the majority of drugs in older population 3/ polypharmacy users are mostly older patients and there is a poor evidence on efficacy and safety of medications and polypharmacy in older patients

15 Polypharmacy INDIVIDUALIZED DRUG PRESCRIBING Evidence-B(i)ased Medicine RCTs Users of meds (PREDICT project, 2009) Age Geriatric patient Age-related changes (fa-ki, fa-dy, homeostasis) Multiple chronic disorders (drugdisease int., geriatr.is syndromes) Functional impairment, frailty Long duration of treatment (changes in goals of care, effectiveness, safety, etc.) Noncompliance, psychosocial factors (dependency, rutine in drug use, expectations,..) Highly individual outcomes Quality of life, drug safety/tolerability and costeffectiveness are priorities

16 QUESTION VIII: Adequate geriatric dosing can be tested only in specific small-scale geriatric studies. Standard low-dose drug regimens has already been proved in geriatric patients for these drugs/drug groups (e.g.): 1/ Ca-blockers, ACHE-I, nitrates and ASA 2/ some NSAIDs, some statines, citalopram, omeprazol, some BBs 3/ some NOACs, pentoxyphylline, amiodarone and LABA

18 QUESTION IX: The ethiology of geriatric syndromes is usually complex and drugs belong to important causal risk factors of geriatric syndromes. Among major drugrelated geriatric syndromes does not belong: 1/ incontinence 2/ cognitive impairment- dementia 3/ osteoporosis 4/ instability

19 GERIATRIC SYNDROMES SOMATIC PSYCHIATRIC SOCIAL mobility problems vertigo- instability falls and injuries incontinence Impairment of termoregulation nutritional problems skin problems(decubitus) et al. dementia depression delirium behavior changes maladaptation et al. self performance dependence isolation violence abusive behavior family problems etc. Health factors Socio-economic factors Drug-related

20 QUESTION X: Which of these drugs do not usually cause geriatric syndromes? 1/ beta-blockers and diuretics 2/ PPIs 2/ metoclopramide and benzodiazepines 3/ metformin

21 DRUG-RELATED GERIATRIC SYNDROMES Central anticholinergic syndrom- cognitive impairment, dementia, deliria, confusion (indometacine, ranitidine, metronidazol, chinolones, benzodiazepines, digoxine, theofylíne, prednisolone, aj.) Drug-related depression (metoprolol, methyldopa, indomethacine) Drug-related parkinsonism (metoclopramide, typical antipsychotics, risperidone) OH and falls, fractures (benzodiazepiny, TCA, antipsychotika, antihypertenziva, vasodilatancia, sedativní antihistaminika) Malnutrition (PPI, polypharmacy)

22 QUESTION XI: Definitions of inappropriate prescribing evolved during decades and the most updated definitions differ from previous mostly in: 1/ specification of individual PIMs that should not be precribed 2/ emphases on preventability of ADEs by reducing excessive use of PIMs 3/ suggestions of safer drug alternatives

23 DIFFERENT DEFINITIONS OF PIMs BEERS 1997 criteria drugs (procedures) where the risk of ADEs substantially exceeds the benefit of treatment in the elderly and safer alternatives exist Mc LEOD 1997 criteria. inappropriate prescribing presents substantial risk of serious ADEs and safer and widely available drug alternatives exist.or the overall change in the prescription decreases substantially morbidity and mortality in the elderly AGS 2015 criteria.avoiding the use of inappropriate and high-risk drugs is an important, simple, and effective strategy to reduce negative outcomes in the elderly. PIMs are medications having an unfavorable balance of risks and benefits by themselves and considering alternative treatments available (including non-pharmacological strategies). PIMs are still inappropriately used as first-line therapy.

24 EXPLICITE CRITERIA - PIMs Potentially Inappropriate Medications in the Elderly Marc H. Beers BEERS criteria NH residents (Beers et al, Arch Intern Med. 1991) CC and NH residents (Beers et al., Arch Inter Med.1997) 2001 (Zhan et al.) - hierarchy of inappropriateness (Zhan et al., JAMA. 2001) 2003 (Fick et al.)

26 QUESTION XII: Among negative consequences of PIM use in older patients have not been yet proved in epidemiological studies: 1/ higher healthcare costs 2/ mortality 3/ decrease in functional status 4/ cognitive impairment

27 Negative consequences of PIM use in epidemiological studies Proved negatives consequences hospitalisations higher prevalence of ADEs/ADRs Functional status impairment Cognitive impairment Higher utilization of healthcare and healthcare costs No impact mortality Havlíková Š, Fialová D.
