Abstract
Objectives: To determine the prevalence of heart failure (HF) medication prescribing on discharge post-HF-related admission.
Methods: A retrospective audit was conducted for 216 HF admissions over a period of 6 months; medication data from electronic records were collected for analysis.
Key findings: The prevalence of HF medication prescribing on discharge was: 32.9% (95% confidence interval: 26.6-39.6) renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors, 10.6% (6.9-15.6) angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors, 31.5% (25.4-38.1) HF-specific beta-blockers, 42.6% (35.9-49.5) aldosterone receptor antagonists, and 11.6% (7.6-16.6) sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors.
Conclusion: HF medication prescribing remains relatively low despite the known benefits and recommendations listed in the guidelines.
期刊介绍：
The International Journal of Pharmacy Practice (IJPP) is a Medline-indexed, peer reviewed, international journal. It is one of the leading journals publishing health services research in the context of pharmacy, pharmaceutical care, medicines and medicines management. Regular sections in the journal include, editorials, literature reviews, original research, personal opinion and short communications. Topics covered include: medicines utilisation, medicine management, medicines distribution, supply and administration, pharmaceutical services, professional and patient/lay perspectives, public health (including, e.g. health promotion, needs assessment, health protection) evidence based practice, pharmacy education. Methods include both evaluative and exploratory work including, randomised controlled trials, surveys, epidemiological approaches, case studies, observational studies, and qualitative methods such as interviews and focus groups. Application of methods drawn from other disciplines e.g. psychology, health economics, morbidity are especially welcome as are developments of new methodologies.
