Abstract

Several risk factors for falls during hospitalization have been reported, of which hypnotics have a major influence. Insomnia is often intractable, and many cases are treated with two or more hypnotics; however, there is concern about the increased risk of falls due to the use of multiple hypnotics. Therefore, we aimed to clarify the effects of combining conventional and new hypnotics on the risk of falls. The impact of the concomitant use of hypnotics on the occurrence of fall events was evaluated retrospectively in patients 20 years of age and older received acute care medicine in an university hospital between January 2013 and August 2022. The survey items included age, sex, drug prescription status, whether a fall accident had occurred, and its circumstances. Of the 47,236 eligible patients, 976 experienced a fall accident during hospitalization (fall rate, 2.07%). Logistic regression analysis of the patient population not taking benzodiazepine receptor agonists showed that age (odds ratio [OR], 1.04), sex (OR, 0.84), and ramelteon use (OR, 3.06) independently contributed to falls. In contrast, in the patient population taking benzodiazepine receptor agonists, logistic regression analysis showed that only age (odds ratio [OR]: 1.03) and sex (OR: 0.76) independently contributed to falls. This suggests that ramelteon, suvorexant, and lemborexant, in combination with benzodiazepines, may not increase the risk of falls. Hypnotics with novel mechanisms of action may not increase the risk of fall when combined with benzodiazepine receptor agonists.

Abstract

The therapeutic efficacy of molecular targeted drugs (MTD)s and the risk of certain adverse drug effects are closely related to their blood concentrations, highlighting the importance of optimizing dosage based on therapeutic drug monitoring. In this study, we compared four pretreatment methods for the analysis of 15 MTDs by LC-MS/MS: protein precipitation (PPT), solid-phase extraction (SPE) using a reversed-phase (RP) column, SPE using a mixed-mode cation-exchange RP column, and supported liquid extraction (SLE), and evaluated their effects on recovery rates and matrix effects. While PPT showed high recovery rates (>80%) for 8 out of 15 compounds, certain highly polar MTDs exhibited significant peak intensity decreases with repeated analyses, indicating potential issues with ion suppression due to impurities. SPE using a reversed-phase column (HLB) resulted in low recovery rates for 12 out of 15 compounds. In contrast, SPE using an MCX column yielded high recovery rates (>80%) for 14 out of 15 compounds but exhibited substantial matrix effects for 9 out of 15 compounds (matrix factors >2). Addressing these matrix effects required sample dilution, and achieving higher sensitivity would necessitate extensive method adjustments tailored to each compound. SLE demonstrated the most favorable results, with the largest number of compounds showing acceptable recovery rates and minimal matrix effects. In conclusion, these findings, based on standard protocols from product manuals, suggest that while method optimization could improve performance for specific compounds, SLE appears to be the most suitable first-choice pretreatment method for the LC-MS/MS analysis of MTDs due to its balance of recovery and matrix effect control.

Abstract

Variations in inhaler leaflet information may affect the understanding of inhalation techniques.We aimed to determine the effectiveness of standardized and package leaflets in describing correct inhaler usage and to identify any existing pitfalls. This prospective, randomized, open-labeled, blinded endpoint study with a 2 × 2 factorial design was conducted in August2019. We included 38 pharmacy students who did not use inhalers and allocated them into 4 groups:  2 groups used standardized leaflets (with 1 and  2 devices, respectively),  while the other  2 groups used package leaflets (with 1 and  2 devices, respectively). The participants were instructed on the essential techniques of using each inhaler and asked to practice using the assigned leaflets until the procedures were completely learned. The primary outcome was evaluated the following day as the score rate (%) of the technique. The effectiveness of leaflets stratified by the number of devices was  tested using a two-way analysis of variance with an interaction term. We compared techniques with different implementation rates between groups to identify potential pitfalls. The differences and 95% confidence interval in the score rate (%) between the groups using standardized or package leaflets were significantly different in the two-device group analysis. The implementation rate of certain instructions between the two-device groups was higher when using standardized leaflets for both devices. Standardized leaflets enhanced the comprehension of inhalation techniques for multiple devices due to their normalized wording. These findings may help improve package leaflets and healthcare professionals' instructions, thereby promoting appropriate inhaled medication use.
