Analisis Faktor Yang Berpengaruh Terhadap Kejadian Interaksi Obat Pada Pasien Hipertensi Di Rumah Sakit Umum X Kota Makassar

Abstract

Drug interactions are directly related to factors such as polypharmacy. Meanwhile, patients with hypertension are at high risk for potential drug interactions due to the large number and types of drugs consumed. Therefore, this research aims to determine the potential for drug interactions in hypertensive patients at one of the Makassar City General Hospitals. It also analyzed the factors with the most significant effect on the potential for drug interactions. Furthermore, this is a descriptive-analytic research with a crosssectional approach. The sample were determined using a consecutive sampling technique and the research was conducted between March-June 2020. In addition, the potential drug interactions were identified using Micromedex 2.0 software and Handbook of Drug Interaction Fact. Analysis of the factors with the most influence on potential for drug interactions was performed using multiple logistic regression statistical tests. The results showed that the number of drugs prescribed had a significant influence on the potential for drug interactions with p = 0.023, OR = 11.676 (9% CI 1.401-97.322). Based on the results, the number of drugs prescribed is the most influential factor in the potential for drug interactions.
