Developing strategies for predicting hyperkalemia in potassium-increasing drug-drug interactions
OBJECTIVE To compare different strategies predicting hyperkalemia (serum potassium level ≥5.5 mEq/l) in hospitalized patients for whom medications triggering potassium-increasing drug-drug interactions (DDIs) were ordered. MATERIALS AND METHODS We investigated 5 strategies that combined prediction triggered at onset of DDI versus continuous monitoring and taking into account an increasing num...
متن کاملImpact of Specific Alerts in Potassium-Increasing Drug-Drug Interactions
Alerts in potassium(K+)-increasing drug-drug interactions (DDIs) are often ignored due to their low specificity. Although different approaches have been implemented to address DDIs, subsequent clinical studies revealed poor adherence to such alerts. We therefore suggest a novel alert concept currently being evaluated in a randomized clinical trial in a large teaching hospital. Highly specific r...
متن کاملPotential drug-drug interactions among hospitalized patients in a developing country
Background: Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) may often lead to preventable adverse drug events and health damage. Particularly in hospitals, this might be an important factor as multiple drug therapies are common. The objective of this study was to identify the frequency and levels of potential DDIs in internal medicine wards in an Iranian university hospital. Methods: A cross-sectional study...
متن کاملPredicting Drug-Target Interactions Using Drug-Drug Interactions
Computational methods for predicting drug-target interactions have become important in drug research because they can help to reduce the time, cost, and failure rates for developing new drugs. Recently, with the accumulation of drug-related data sets related to drug side effects and pharmacological data, it has became possible to predict potential drug-target interactions. In this study, we foc...
متن کاملSignificant drug interactions in dermatology
Systemic drugs have been used widely in the treatment of many skin diseases. Although dermatologists are familiar with the guidelines of selecting appropriate patients and prescribing systemic drugs, their knowledge about the side effects and significant interactions of systemic drugs used in dermatology is more limited. So a short review on important drug interactions seems to be useful. Some ...
