Abstract
La prescripción de fármacos antiulcerosos en medio hospitalario, y su influencia posterior en atención primaria, se incrementó en los últimos años y con ello el gasto farmacéutico. El objetivo del presente estudio es analizar la prevalencia de prescripción de antiulcerosos en nuestro centro hospitalario y la adecuación a las indicaciones establecidas. Se realizó un estudio observacional de prescripción-indicación con 2 cortes transversales separados en 6 meses para evitar sesgos de selección. Se constata el uso elevado de gastroprotectores, principalmente inhibidores de bomba de protones, sobre todo en profilaxis de gastropatía por antiinflamatorios no esteroideos (AINE) (17,1%), con una tasa de prescripciones incorrectas del 77,6% a pesar de la existencia de un protocolo específico elaborado por el comité de farmacia y terapéutica de nuestro centro. Destaca el número elevado de prescripciones en pacientes con corticoterapia sin asociación con AINE (25,7%). Se requieren nuevas herramientas que impliquen al facultativo y a los gestores clínicos en el uso racional de medicamentos
Prescription rates of antiulcer drugs in hospitals and their spill-over to general practice have risen over the last few years, increasing pharmaceutical expenses. The aim of this study was to analyze gastroprotective drug prescription habits in our hospital by assessing both prevalence and adherence to approved indications. An observational study of prescription-indication was performed with 2 cross sections separated by 6 months to avoid selection bias. We found overprescription of gastroprotective drugs, mainly proton pump inhibitors for the prevention of non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug-induced ulcer (17.1%). Overall, 77.6% of prescriptions had no acceptable indication, despite the availability of a specific protocol produced by the Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee in our center. There was a high prevalence of prescriptions for non-approved indications such as prophylaxis in patients administered cor-ticosteroids without non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents (25.7%). New programs to train clinicians and clinical mana-gers in rational drug use are required
