Background: Antimicrobial use data from inpatients in northern Canada suitable to inform stewardship programs are limited.

Objective: As a special project of the Canadian Nosocomial Infection Surveillance Program, to describe antimicrobial use for inpatients in northern Canadian acute care hospitals.

Methods: Participating acute care hospitals serving adult or mixed adult and pediatric populations in northern Canada submitted annual data on the use of all systemic antimicrobials from 2019 to 2021. Patient-day denominators were also submitted. Northern Canada was defined as the territories and Statistics Canada's provincial north. Data were analyzed in terms of defined daily doses per 1000 patient days (DDD/1000pd), as per the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical classification system. Antimicrobials were categorized using the World Health Organization's AWaRe (Access/ Watch/Reserve) classification system.

Results: Each year, 42-47 hospitals participated. More than 90% of participating hospitals were in Alberta or British Columbia. There was large variation in overall antimicrobial use between hospitals (e.g., interquartile range 429 to 779 DDD/1000pd in 2021). From 2019 to 2021, there was a 49% relative increase in antimicrobial use, from 401 to 596 DDD/1000pd (p = 0.11). Over the same period, the use of third- and first-generation cephalosporins increased by 80% and 64%, respectively; antimicrobials in the "Reserve" category increased from 0.4% to 2% of overall use.

Conclusions: This study represents the largest collection of antimicrobial use data for inpatients in northern Canada to date. From 2019 to 2021, there was an increase in antimicrobial use of 195 DDD/1000pd, largely driven by increases in the use of third- and first-generation cephalosporins. The findings should be interpreted with caution, as results may not be generalizable to all northern hospitals.

背景:加拿大北部住院患者的抗菌药物使用数据有限,适合告知管理计划。目的:作为加拿大医院感染监测计划的一个特殊项目,描述加拿大北部急症护理医院住院患者抗菌药物的使用情况。方法:加拿大北部参与的为成人或成人和儿童混合人群服务的急性护理医院提交了2019年至2021年所有系统抗菌素使用的年度数据。还提交了病人日的分母。加拿大北部被定义为领土和加拿大统计局的省级北部。根据解剖治疗化学分类系统,根据每1000患者日(DDD/1000pd)的定义日剂量对数据进行分析。使用世界卫生组织的AWaRe(获取/观察/储备)分类系统对抗菌素进行分类。结果:每年有42-47家医院参与。90%以上的参与医院位于阿尔伯塔省或不列颠哥伦比亚省。各医院间抗菌药物的总体使用情况存在较大差异(例如,2021年四分位数范围为429至779 DDD/1000pd)。从2019年到2021年,抗菌药物的使用相对增加了49%,从401 DDD/1000pd增加到596 DDD/1000pd (p = 0.11)。在同一时期,第三代和第一代头孢菌素的使用分别增加了80%和64%;“储备”类抗微生物药物占总使用量的比例从0.4%增加到2%。结论:这项研究代表了迄今为止加拿大北部住院患者抗菌药物使用数据的最大收集。从2019年到2021年,抗微生物药物使用量增加了195 DDD/ 1000d,这主要是由于第三代和第一代头孢菌素使用量的增加。研究结果应谨慎解释,因为结果可能无法推广到所有北方医院。

Background: In the face of province-wide implementation of activity-based hospital funding in Quebec, a need arose to effectively measure pharmacists' contributions along the patient care trajectory and to enable pharmacy benchmarking using valid performance indicators.

Objectives: A 3-phase project was initiated to measure the performance and impact of pharmacists and pharmacy departments. Phases 2 and 3, described here, focused on gradually implementing, in various health care centres, the priority indicators selected in phase 1.

Methods: The project involved multiple committees overseeing the implementation, data collection, analysis, and documentation of 18 performance indicators. Specific tools were developed to facilitate data collection and encourage pharmacists' participation. A feedback survey was used to document pharmacists' experiences.

Results: Substantial data were gathered over 3 years (2017 to 2020), involving 358 pharmacists from 6 health care centres. The overall contribution rate to the daily data collection from front-line pharmacists was 55%. The feedback survey revealed that, of the various communication tools used to promote the project, in-person events were better perceived by the front-line pharmacists than online tools. Of the 183 respondents to the survey, most (94%, n = 172) believed it was important to collect data to document pharmacists' activities, and 82% (n = 150) saw the project as relevant to the upcoming activity-based funding system.

Conclusions: Despite challenges, progress was made in defining relevant indicators, adjusting the list generated during phase 1, and reaching a consensus on 16 indicators. Stakeholders expressed interest, emphasizing the importance of documenting pharmacists' activities. The project has laid the foundation for demonstrating the value of pharmacists along the patient care trajectory and measuring pharmacy departments' performance. However, more integrated technological solutions are needed for province-wide implementation.

背景:面对魁北克省在全省范围内实施的以活动为基础的医院拨款,需要有效衡量药剂师在患者护理过程中的贡献,并使用有效的绩效指标对药房进行基准测试:项目分为三个阶段,旨在衡量药剂师和药剂部门的绩效和影响。本文介绍的第 2 和第 3 阶段侧重于在各医疗保健中心逐步实施第 1 阶段选定的优先指标:该项目由多个委员会负责监督 18 项绩效指标的实施、数据收集、分析和记录。为方便数据收集和鼓励药剂师参与,还开发了专门的工具。通过反馈调查记录药剂师的经验:在 3 年内(2017 年至 2020 年)收集了大量数据,涉及 6 个医疗保健中心的 358 名药剂师。一线药剂师对日常数据收集的总体贡献率为 55%。反馈调查显示,在用于推广项目的各种宣传工具中,一线药剂师对现场活动的感受要好于在线工具。在 183 名调查对象中,大多数(94%,n = 172)认为收集数据记录药剂师的活动非常重要,82%(n = 150)认为该项目与即将实施的基于活动的资助体系相关:尽管面临挑战,但在确定相关指标、调整第 1 阶段生成的清单以及就 16 项指标达成共识方面仍取得了进展。利益相关者表示了兴趣,强调了记录药剂师活动的重要性。该项目为展示药剂师在患者护理过程中的价值和衡量药剂部门的绩效奠定了基础。然而,要在全省范围内实施,还需要更多的综合技术解决方案。

Context: Alternative and complementary medicines are currently experiencing a real boom worldwide, especially among cancer patients who are looking to improve their physical and mental well-being.

Objectives: To provide an overview of the use of traditional treatments and dietary supplements by cancer patients and to assess the impact of these approaches on cancer care.

Methods: This prospective cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted at the oncology day hospital of a Tunisian medical centre. Data were collected from February 1 to March 30, 2022.

Results: In the study population, the prevalence of complementary medicine use was 71%; users were predominantly female, and average age was 54 years. Herbal medicine was most commonly used (69.7%); animal-derived products, diet, massage therapy, and dietary supplements were also common, with percentages ranging between 20% and 40%. Cupping therapy (12.4%) and mind-body therapies (such as rokia charia and physical activity; 10%) were noted to a lesser extent. Of the plants identified, the most frequently consumed was Nigella sativa L. (44.9%), followed by Ephedra foeminea Forssk. (42.7%) and Curcuma longa L. (32.6%). Among the identified herb-drug interactions, 33.4% were classified as contraindicated, while 56.7% were classified as beneficial.

Conclusions: The survey revealed a significant prevalence of alternative medicine use, which requires careful attention and further research.

背景:替代药物和补充药物目前在全球范围内蓬勃发展,尤其是在希望改善身心健康的癌症患者中:概述癌症患者使用传统疗法和膳食补充剂的情况,并评估这些方法对癌症治疗的影响:这项前瞻性横断面描述性研究在突尼斯一家医疗中心的肿瘤日间医院进行。数据收集时间为 2022 年 2 月 1 日至 3 月 30 日:在研究人群中,使用辅助药物的比例为 71%;使用者主要为女性,平均年龄为 54 岁。最常使用的是草药(69.7%);动物源性产品、饮食、按摩疗法和膳食补充剂也很常见,比例在 20% 至 40% 之间。拔罐疗法(12.4%)和身心疗法(如罗汉果和体育锻炼;10%)的使用率较低。在已确认的植物中,最常食用的是黑麦草(44.9%),其次是麻黄(42.7%)和莪术(44.9%)。(42.7%)和莪术(32.6%)。在已确定的草药与药物相互作用中,33.4%被归类为禁忌,56.7%被归类为有益:调查显示,替代药物的使用非常普遍,需要认真关注和进一步研究。

Background: Health care contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, and pharmacy departments have many opportunities to reduce their emissions.

Objective: To describe the development and implementation of an environmental audit tool for hospital pharmacy departments.

Methods: A pharmacy environmental audit tool was developed by modifying a generic workplace audit tool to include pharmacy-specific content. The audit tool contained 22 categories, with scoring on a 4-point scale (from 0 to 3). Members of a volunteer committee completed the audit by observing practice areas. The lowest-scoring categories were then prioritized for action.

Results: Overall, the 4 main pharmacy sites in Regina, Saskatchewan, scored 23/66 (35%). Areas of strength identified in the audit included reuse of packaging materials, carpooling, and paperless meetings. Areas for improvement prioritized by the committee included paper use, plastic use, and recycling.

Conclusions: The pharmacy environmental audit tool described here can facilitate reflection on current practice, benchmarking, and goal setting. Pharmacy professionals have a role in leading change for the benefit of planetary health.

背景:医疗保健是温室气体排放的主要来源,而药剂科有很多机会减少其排放量:描述医院药剂科环境审核工具的开发和实施情况:方法:通过修改通用的工作场所审核工具,加入药房的具体内容,开发了药房环境审核工具。审核工具包含 22 个类别,按 4 分制计分(从 0 到 3)。志愿者委员会的成员通过观察工作区域来完成审核。然后对得分最低的类别进行优先排序,以便采取行动:总的来说,萨斯喀彻温省里贾纳市的 4 个主要药房点的得分率为 23/66(35%)。审核中发现的优势领域包括包装材料的再利用、拼车和无纸化会议。委员会优先考虑改进的领域包括纸张使用、塑料使用和回收利用:本文介绍的药房环境审核工具可促进对当前实践、基准和目标设定的反思。药剂学专业人员可以在引领变革、造福地球健康方面发挥作用。

Background: Emerging evidence describes the high incidence and strong impact of hyperglycemia on the outcomes of critically ill patients with a diagnosis of COVID-19. Given resource limitations during the COVID-19 pandemic, clinicians moved away from using continuous IV infusions of insulin to manage hyperglycemia.

Objective: To evaluate glycemic control in critically ill patients receiving various medication regimens to manage their hyperglycemia.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study involved 120 mechanically ventilated adult patients (> 18 years) with COVID-19 who were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) between February 2020 and December 2021. The following data were collected for the first 14 days of the ICU admission: blood glucose values (up to 4 times daily), hypoglycemia events, and antihyperglycemic medication regimens.

Results: The use of IV insulin infusions maintained glucose measurements within the target range of 4 to 10 mmol/L more often than any other medication regimen, with 60% of measured values falling within the target range. The use of a sliding-scale insulin regimen maintained 52% of glucose measurements within the target range. Oral hypoglycemic agents performed relatively poorly, with only 12% to 29% of glucose measurements within range. The coadministration of corticosteroids led to worse glycemic control across all medication regimens.

Conclusions: This study confirmed that ICUs should continue using the standard protocol of IV insulin infusion to achieve recommended blood glucose targets in critically ill patients with COVID-19, particularly those receiving corticosteroids.

背景:新的证据表明,高血糖的发生率很高,而且对诊断为 COVID-19 的重症患者的预后影响很大。鉴于 COVID-19 大流行期间的资源限制,临床医生不再使用持续静脉注射胰岛素来控制高血糖:评估接受不同药物治疗方案的重症患者的血糖控制情况:这项回顾性队列研究涉及2020年2月至2021年12月期间入住重症监护室(ICU)的120名患有COVID-19的机械通气成人患者(大于18岁)。研究收集了患者入住重症监护室前 14 天的以下数据:血糖值(每天最多 4 次)、低血糖事件和降糖药物治疗方案:结果:使用静脉注射胰岛素比使用其他药物更能使血糖测量值保持在 4 至 10 mmol/L 的目标范围内,60% 的测量值都在目标范围内。使用滑动胰岛素疗法可使 52% 的血糖测量值保持在目标范围内。口服降糖药的效果相对较差,只有 12% 至 29% 的血糖测量值在目标范围内。在所有用药方案中,联合使用皮质类固醇会导致血糖控制更差:本研究证实,重症监护病房应继续使用静脉输注胰岛素的标准方案,以实现 COVID-19 重症患者,尤其是接受皮质类固醇治疗的患者的血糖目标。
