Abstract

The global increase of aging with the related increase of multiple noncommunicable diseases is inevitably accompanied by the associated issue of multimorbidity and polypharmacy. The latter is not without peculiar consequences on health, because it has been shown to be associated with drug-related adverse events, mainly due to poor prescription appropriateness and drug–drug interactions. To contribute to tackle this gigantic problem, a registry of drug dispensation in hospitalized older patient has been initiated in Italy in 2008. Through the last 15 years, data on nearly 11,000 older people have been accrued during their hospital stay in internal medicine and geriatric wards. This review article summarizes the main findings obtained, and how these data contribute to tackle the issue of appropriateness of drug prescription and the need of deprescribing in hospitalized older people affected by the most common noncommunicable diseases.

Vorhofflimmern: Antikoagulation vor Schlaganfall von Vorteil

Erleiden Menschen mit Vorhofflimmern einen ischämischen Schlaganfall, ist dieser weniger schwer, auch sind Infarktgröße und Blutungsrisiko geringer, wenn sie zuvor orale Antikoagulanzien erhalten haben. Die Art der Antikoagulation spielt dabei keine Rolle.

Frühe CLL-Therapie: BTK-Hemmer verlängert EFS und PFS, aber nicht OS

Auch nach sechs Jahren ergibt sich kein Überlebensvorteil einer Therapie mit dem BTK-Hemmer Ibrutinib für Menschen mit frühem CLL-Stadium und erhöhtem Progressionsrisiko. Die Progressionsrate wird mit der Behandlung jedoch um über 80% gesenkt.

Mehr Cholesterin im Essen = höheres Herzinfarktrisiko

Je mehr Cholesterin man täglich über die Nahrung zu sich nimmt, desto höher ist offenbar das Herzinfarktrisiko – das legt eine Studie mit US-Veteranen zumindest für Männer nahe.

Antikoagulation bei Vorhofflimmern: Sind DOAK noch zu toppen?

Gegen Thromboembolien so wirksam wie ein DOAK, bei zugleich geringerem Blutungsrisiko – werden Faktor-XI-Hemmer als neue Antikoagulanzien dieser Erwartung gerecht? Eine aktuell publizierte Vergleichsstudie gibt darüber Aufschluss.
