Polypharmacy Patterns: Unravelling Systematic Associations between Prescribed Medications
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to demonstrate the existence of systematic associations in drug prescription that lead to the establishment of patterns of polypharmacy, and the clinical interpretation of the associations found in each pattern. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted based on information obtained from electronic medical records and the primary care pharmacy database...

متن کاملEffect of polypharmacy, potentially inappropriate medications and anticholinergic burden on clinical outcomes: a retrospective cohort study.
BACKGROUND Polypharmacy, potentially inappropriate medications and anticholinergic burden (as assessed by the anticholinergic risk scale) are commonly used as quality indicators of pharmacotherapy in older adults. However, their role in clinical practice is undefined. We sought to investigate longitudinal changes in these indicators and their effects on clinical outcomes. METHODS We used Taiw...
متن کاملPrevalence and Variability in Medications Contributing to Polypharmacy in Long-Term Care Facilities
BACKGROUND Research into which medications contribute to polypharmacy and the variability in these medications across long-term care facilities (LTCFs) has been minimal. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to investigate which medications were more prevalent among residents with polypharmacy and to determine the variability in prescribing of these medications across LTCFs. METHODS This was a cross-...
متن کاملRationalisation and visualisation of non-bonded interactions
Models of non-bonded interactions are crucial in structure-based drug design. “Standard” hydrogen bonds are well modelled through traditional molecular mechanics forcefields with their treatments of electrostatics, and functional forms, often based on abundant crystal structure data, to describe their geometries. But “non-standard” interactions for example, hydrogen bonds with carbon as the don...
