United States Emergency Department Use of Medications with Pharmacogenetic Recommendations

Abstract: Introduction: Emergency departments (ED) use many medications with a range of therapeutic efficacy and potential significant side effects, and many medications have dosage adjustment recommendations based on the patient’s specific genotype. How frequently medications with such pharmaco-genetic recommendations are used in United States (US) EDs has not been studied.

“…The overall impact is already visible: in a recent large study, almost 20% of US ED visits involve a medication with a pharmacogenetic recommendation that may impact the efficacy and toxicity for individual patients [37]. Other projects, like the Emergency Medicine Specimen Bank (EMSB): a biorepository of clinical health data and biospecimens collected from all adults who are able and willing to provide consent and are treated at the University of Colorado Hospital Emergency Department, or the Lifelog Bigdata Platform (a big data cloud system), could also facilitate precision medicine in acute care [38,39].…”
