Key summary points

Aim

To assess the prevalence of inappropriate prescriptions of antithrombotic therapies (AT) in older outpatients, and to examine the associated factors.

Findings

22.6% patients featured ≥ 1 in AT-STOPP criteria, 12.4% ≥ 1 in AT-START criteria. The most frequent AT-STOPP criterion was AT prescription despite a concurrent significant bleeding risk. The most frequent AT-START criterion was lack of AT prescription for patients with chronic atrial fibrillation. Two factors were associated with ≥ 1 AT-STOPP criteria: polymedication and previous hospitalization for a serious adverse drug event. The only factor associated with ≥ 1 AT-START criteria was lack of information in the prescription regarding the duration of treatment.

Message

Suboptimal prescribing of AT is common in GP’s prescriptions for older autonomous outpatients. Special attention should be given to those with polymedication and a history of severe adverse drug event.

Verbände und Cremes gegen Dekubitus: „Wir wissen nicht, was sie bringen!“

Die Datenlage zur Wirksamkeit von Verbänden oder topischen Mitteln zur Prävention von Druckgeschwüren sei schlecht, so die Verfasser einer aktuellen Cochrane-Studie. Letztlich bleibe es unsicher, ob solche Maßnahmen den Betroffenen nutzen oder schaden.

Schützt das tägliche Glas Milch vor Darmkrebs?

Die Milch machts – sie bietet Frauen nach Daten einer großen Ernährungsanalyse den besten Darmkrebsschutz aller Lebensmittel, was am hohen Kalziumgehalt liegen dürfte. Am anderen Ende des Spektrums steht der Alkoholkonsum: Das Glas Wein am Abend ist eher ungünstig.

Vorsicht mit Glukokortikoiden bei Glomerulopathie

Auch niedrig dosierte Glukokortikoide zur Behandlung einer primären Glomerulopathie lassen offenbar die Infektionsgefahr steigen. In einer US-Studie hing das Risiko vor allem mit der kombinierten Anwendung von Immunsuppressiva zusammen.

KI-gestütztes Mammografiescreening überzeugt im Praxistest

Mit dem Einsatz künstlicher Intelligenz lässt sich die Detektionsrate im Mammografiescreening offenbar deutlich steigern. Mehr unnötige Zusatzuntersuchungen sind laut der Studie aus Deutschland nicht zu befürchten.
