Patient Characteristics Associated with Polypharmacy and Inappropriate Prescribing of Medications among Older Adults with Cancer.

Abstract：

:OBJECTIVES: To identify patient characteristics associated with polypharmacy and inappropriate medication (PIM) use among older patients with newly diagnosed cancer. DESIGN: Cross-Sectional Study. SETTING: Ambulatory oncology clinics at an academic medical center. PARTICIPANTS: 117 patients aged ≥ 65 years with newly diagnosed histologically confirmed stage I-IV cancer were enrolled between April 2008 and September 2009. MEASUREMENTS: Medication review, included patient self-report and medical records. Polypharmacy was defined as the concurrent use of ≥ five medications, (Yes/No). PIM use was defined as use of ≥ one medication included in the 2003 update of Beers Criteria, (Yes/No). RESULTS: The prevalence of polypharmacy and PIM use were 80% and 41%, respectively. Three independent correlates of medication use were identified. An increase in comorbidity count by one, ECOG-PS score by one, and PIM use by one, was associated with an increase in medication use by 0.48 (P=0.0002), 0.79 (P=0.01) and 1.22 (P=0.006), respectively. Two independent correlates of PIM use were identified. The odds of using PIMs decreased by 10% for one unit increase in Body Mass Index [Odds Ratio (OR) 0.90, 95% CI = (0.84, 0.97)], and increased by 18% for each increase in medication count by one [OR 1.18, 95% CI = (1.04, 1.34)]. CONCLUSION: There was a high prevalence of polypharmacy and PIM use in older patients with newly diagnosed cancer. Given the co-occurrence of polypharmacy with poor performance status and multi-morbidity, multi-dimensional interventions are needed in the geriatric-oncology population to improve health and cancer outcomes.

  • Clinical judgment versus geriatric assessment for frailty in older patients with cancer.

    abstract：BACKGROUND:Geriatric assessment (GA) is an appropriate method for identifying frailty in older patients with cancer, but a shorter instrument may be easier to use in clinical practice. Clinical judgment is always available and requires no investments in time or resources. The purpose of this study was to assess correla...
