Evaluation of context-specific alerts for potassium-increasing drug-drug interactions: A pre-post study.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:To investigate whether context-specific alerts for potassium-increasing drug-drug interactions (DDIs) in a clinical decision support system reduced the alert burden, increased alert acceptance, and had an effect on the occurrence of hyperkalemia. MATERIALS AND METHODS:In the pre-intervention period all alerts for potassium-increasing DDIs were level 1 alerts advising absolute contraindication, while in the post-intervention period the same drug combinations could trigger a level 1 (absolute contraindication), a level 2 (monitor potassium values), or a level 3 alert (informative, not shown to physicians) based on the patient's recent laboratory value of potassium. Alert acceptance was defined as non-prescription or non-administration of the interacting drug combination for level 1 alerts and as monitoring of the potassium levels for level 2 alerts. RESULTS:The alert burden decreased by 92.8%. The relative risk (RR) for alert acceptance based on prescription rates for level 1 alerts and monitoring rates for level 2 alerts was 15.048 (86.5% vs 5.7%; 95% CI 12.037-18.811; P < 0.001). With alert acceptance for level 1 alerts based on actual administration and for level 2 alerts on monitoring rates, the RR was 3.597 (87.6% vs 24.4%; 95% CI 3.192-4.053; P < 0.001). In the generalized linear mixed model the effect of the intervention on the occurrence of hyperkalemia was not significant (OR 1.091, 95% CI 0.172-6.919). CONCLUSION:The proposed strategy seems effective to get a grip on the delicate balance between over- and under alerting.
