老年人的药物使用质量是一个反复出现的问题,值得关注。衡量和提高药物使用质量的努力往往定义质量过于狭隘,无法解决老年人药物治疗方案的复杂性。为了更全面地定义老年人的药物使用质量,我们进行了一项前瞻性队列研究:1)描述基线时社区老年人的药物使用质量,检查白人和非洲裔美国人之间的差异; 2)研究种族对药物相关问题的影响[MTR 1],以及3)评估随着时间的推移,白人和非洲裔美国人之间的优质药物使用的变化。本文介绍了这项纵向研究的研究设计和方法。我们采访了100名白色和100名非洲裔美国人社区居住的老年人三次超过一年(基线,6,12个月)。我们对非裔美国人进行了过采样,以便我们可以估计药物使用质量的种族差异。我们收集了药物使用质量的信息,依靠临床药师的质量评估和评估护理弱势老年人(ACOVE)的质量指标。我们还收集了有关人口统计学特征、健康素养、功能状态和参与者报告的药物治疗问题的数据。200名老年人参加了这项研究,并完成了基线访视。在200例患者中,92%完成了6个月访视(n=183),88%完成了12个月访视(n=176)。我们目前的基线人口统计学特征的200名老年人参加了这项研究。这项纵向研究是制定更全面,以患者为中心的措施和干预措施,以提高老年人用药质量的第一步。
The quality of medication use in older adults is a recurring problem of substantial concern. Efforts to both measure and improve the quality of medication use often define quality too narrowly and fall short of addressing the complexity of an older adult's medication regimen. In an effort to more comprehensively define the quality of medication use in older adults, we conducted a prospective cohort study to: 1) describe the quality of medication use in community-residing older adults at baseline, examining differences between Whites and African Americans; 2) examine the effect of race on medication-related problems[mtr1], and 3) assess the change in quality medication use between Whites and African Americans over time. This paper presents the research design and methods of this longitudinal study. We interviewed 100 White and 100 African-American community-residing older adults three times over one year (baseline, 6, and 12 months). We oversampled African Americans so that we could estimate racial differences in the quality of medication use. We collected information on the quality of medication use, relying on a clinical pharmacist's assessment of quality and the Assessing Care of Vulnerable Elders (ACOVE) quality indicators. We also collected data on demographic characteristics, health literacy, functional status, and participant-reported drug therapy concerns. Two hundred older adults were enrolled into the study and completed a baseline visit. Of the 200, 92% completed the 6-month visit (n=183) and 88% completed the 12-month visit (n=176). We present baseline demographic characteristics for the 200 older adults enrolled in the study. This longitudinal study is an initial step toward developing more comprehensive, patient-centered measures and interventions to improve the quality of medication use in older adults.
