Polypragmasy as a therapeutic problem among palliative and geriatric patients

Abstract: Polipragmazja jest globalnym problemem terapeutycznym różnie definiowanym przez środowiska medyczne. Pomimo braku jednoznacznego opisu tego zjawiska, wykładnią zawsze jest nieprawidłowe stosowanie farmaceutyków. Na jej negatywne skutki narażeni są przede wszystkim starsi pacjenci. Jak pokazują badania, w ostatnich latach wzrasta liczba osób powyżej 65 r.ż. Korzystają one z opieki geriatrycznej oraz stanowią ok. 85% pacjentów ośrodków paliatywnych. Cierpią z powodu wielu chorób przewlekłych i poddawane są terap… Show more

“…Polypharmacy is a generally positive trend, despite its variable definition. It is accepted as being the administration of more than five drugs [6][7][8][9][10][11] and comes with negative effects, such as renal or hepatic function impairment [12,13], living disability, frailty [10,14], hemorrhagic and thrombo-embolic risk, malnutrition [15], long-term care placement or hospitalization [10,16,17], decreased quality of life, or mortality [5][6][7]10,[18][19][20]; that came in opposition to the benefits of the antidiabetic, cardioprotective molecules that are proven efficient, safe, and non-inferior to the previous antidiabetic drugs. However, the main challenge is represented by the requirement to establish a proper and predictable treatment [21] and simultaneously avoid poor adherence in self-administering multiple drugs [22], so emphasis should be addressed on the need for a strict and periodic assessment of the risk-benefit balance when continuing or introducing a new therapeutic drug and promoting the personalized medicine [23][24][25].…”

“…This poses a risk of the so-called iatrogenic geriatric syndrome, which is a disease syndrome resulting from treatment. The use of multiple drugs exacerbates adverse drug effects, causes drug-drug interactions, causes drug-disease interactions, exacerbates the effects of other drugs (synergistic effects) or reduces the effectiveness of treatment ( 7 , 8 ).…”
