- W2896726286 abstract "The PharE Study (Pharmacovigilance in the Elderly) is an ongoing study on elderly home care and residential care patients affected with dementia. Antipsychotic drugs are approved for a range of psychiatric disorders, but they are also widely prescribed for control of behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). Clinical studies with antipsychotic drugs showed small but statistically significant improvements in BPSD compared with placebo, but the treatment was associated with an increased risk for adverse events, such as cardiovascular, cerebrovascular events and death. This was a retrospective study between 2015 and 2017. In this time range 2064 visits were performed by our center in residential and home care patients. In particular, the study included 688 patients affected with dementia, mean age 80.6±7.05 years old, 424 women and 264 men; 144 residential care patients and 544 home care patients. The 2015 updated Beers Criteria for Potentially Inappropriate Medication Use in Older Adults were used. The primary outcomes were to assess the rate of deprescribing antipsychotics in both care settings. The secondary outcomes were to assess the possible side effects or adverse events in antipsychotics users vs non users and to identify the possible inappropriate use of these drugs. BPSD rate was high (48.8%), with an antipsychotic use of 87.8%. The rate of deprescribing antipsychotics was 8.1% in home care patients and 3.5% in residential care patients. There was a significant difference in deprescribing between the two different settings (p<0.04). Antipsychotics were administered for 19.8 ± 9.8 months on the average. Side effects and adverse events were more frequent in antipsychotic users vs non users (p=0.0000). Inappropriate use of antipsychotics according to the 2015 Beers Criteria was found in 9.3% out of the cases. Antipsychotics should be avoided for BPSD unless non-pharmacologic options have failed, or the patient is threatening self-harm or harm to others. In order to use these drugs appropriately, we should ask why the patient is taking the drug, whether it was appropriate initially, and whether it is still needed. A 25%-50% dose reduction is suggested every 1-2 weeks. Further details on this topic are strongly recommended." @default.
