RESUMOIntrodução: Discrepâncias nos registros eletrônicos de medicamentos são frequentes e podem levar a erros relacionados a medicamentos. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar as discrepâncias entre os registros médicos e farmacêuticos da terapia medicamentosa de pacientes com fibrose cística de um ambulatório multidisciplinar de pneumologia infantil do Sul do Brasil Métodos: Estudo transversal com coleta de dados retrospectiva através de prontuário eletrônico de pacientes que foram atendidos no ambulatório de um centro de referência para Fibrose Cística entre maio e junho de 2016. Os registros médicos e farmacêuticos foram comparados e as discrepâncias quantificadas e classificadas. Resultados:Foram analisados 81 registros de consultas ambulatoriais de 76 pacientes. Oitenta medicamentos constavam nos registros, sendo os mais frequentes polivitamínicos, enzimas pancreáticas, dornase alfa, ácido ursodesoxicólico e solução salina hipertônica. Foram identificadas discrepâncias em 96% dos registros, totalizando 245 discrepâncias, entre elas omissões de medicamentos no registro farmacêutico (102) e no médico (80), além de doses (41) e regimes terapêuticos (23) diferentes. Foram observadas omissões de dose no registro farmacêutico (63) e no médico (52) e omissões de regime (11) em ambos. Conclusão:A elevada taxa de discrepâncias corrobora com os resultados de diversos estudos. A conciliação tem o objetivo de promover o uso racional e diminuir os erros relacionados a medicamentos, podendo ser realizada de maneira sistematizada. A avaliação da qualidade do uso de medicamentos pode ser feita através da utilização de indicadores, sendo as discrepâncias um indicador sensível para este objetivo.

This study aims to analyze discrepancies between medical and pharmaceutical records of pharmacotherapy in patients with cystic fibrosis in a multidisciplinary pediatric pulmonology outpatient hospital in southern Brazil.
Objective To describe the drug utilization profile used by pediatric cystic fibrosis patients.Methods A transversal study comprising the analysis of records and interviews with caregivers of pediatric patient in a reference center of Southern Brazil. We collected information about patients’ clinical condition, medication used and household therapy.Results Out of 78 patients participating in the study, prevailing characteristics were: female, self-declared white color, mutation F508del and countryside resident. Forty-three patients had health monitoring exclusively in the hospital’s outpatient division. We analyzed 509 prescribed medication (6.5 medication/patient). The caregiver acknowledged the correct indication in 83% of cases. Patients with pulmonary complications and diseases and/or comorbities related to the cystic fibrosis had an increased quantity of prescribed medication. Vitamins, pancreatic enzymes, hypertonic saline solution, dornase alpha, acid ursodesoxicolic and inhalation antibiotics were most commonly prescribed. Out of the sum of medication, 265 (52.1%) were registered in the Relação Nacional de Medicamentos Essenciais , 26.7% were registered in the basic component and 25.4% were registered in the specialized component of pharmaceutical assistance. Seventy-four interviewees informed difficulty in the acquisition of at least one prescribed medication. Most of the reports acknowledge the State Health Department as the place to find and receive medication for cystic fibrosis.Conclusion This study allowed reaching a deeper understanding about therapy, caring needed with patients with cystic fibrosis, highlighting to implement strategies that might contribute to enhance life quality and to execute the patients’ therapy plan.
