Treatment of COVID-19 comorbid hypertension involves many drugs with therapeutic risk of non-guidelines and potential drug interactions. Study aimed to determine the demographic characteristics, clinical degree, accuracy of drugs and doses and potential drug interactions. Study design was cross-sectional through retrospective data collection. Samples that meet the criteria obtained 70 samples. The results were 51.4% female sample, the highest age was 46-59 y.o (48.6%), the most degree of COVID-19 was moderate (61.4%), the highest degree of hypertension was grade 1 (48.6%) and the longest length of stay was >14 days (51.4%). The accuracy of COVID-19 therapy were 78.6% accurate drug, 21.4% inaccurate drug, and 100% accurate dose. The accuracy of antihypertensive were 82.9% accurate drug, 17.1% inaccurate drug, 95.7% accurate dose and 4.3% inaccurate dose. Samples with potential drug interactions were 97.1%, the highest number of potential drug interactions was 1-5 events (52.9%), based on severity 60.2% moderate, 20.1% minor, 13.2% major, and 6.5% unknown. Correlation test results sig. (p-value) 0.237. The conclusion showed that most samples were female, aged 46-59, moderate-grade COVID-19 patients with grade 1 hypertension, and length of stay >14 days. There is accuracy or inaccuracy of drugs and doses, potential drug interactions and there is no relationship between length of stay and potential drug interactions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
