Linking Electronic Health Record Prescribing Data and Pharmacy Dispensing Records to Identify Patient-Level Factors Associated With Psychotropic Medication Receipt: Retrospective Study

Linking Electronic Health Record Prescribing Data and Pharmacy Dispensing Records to Identify Patient-Level Factors Associated With Psychotropic Medication Receipt: Retrospective Study

We identified children younger than 18 years of age with new psychotropic medication prescriptions written at an outpatient visit in 2021. Throughout this paper, the term “prescriptions” refers to psychotropic medication prescriptions. All prescriptions were identified using Rx Norm concept unique identifiers (Rx CUIs; Table S1 in Multimedia Appendix 1). Rx Norm is a normalized naming system, and Rx CUIs serve as an identifier assigned to an individual drug entity in Rx Norm.

Effect of a Feedback Visit and a Clinical Decision Support System Based on Antibiotic Prescription Audit in Primary Care: Multiarm Cluster-Randomized Controlled Trial

Effect of a Feedback Visit and a Clinical Decision Support System Based on Antibiotic Prescription Audit in Primary Care: Multiarm Cluster-Randomized Controlled Trial

A reduction in the volume of systemic antibiotic prescriptions was not observed at a 3-month follow-up for either group (Figure 3). At 12 months, there was a reduction in both intervention groups (CDSS based and standard) in the volume of prescriptions for critical antibiotics, particularly cephalosporins, quinolones, and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid.

Facilitators, Barriers, and Potential Impacts of Implementation of e-Pharmacy in India and its Potential Impact on Cost, Quality, and Access to Medicines: Scoping Review

Facilitators, Barriers, and Potential Impacts of Implementation of e-Pharmacy in India and its Potential Impact on Cost, Quality, and Access to Medicines: Scoping Review

During the COVID-19 pandemic, health care in India witnessed a substantial transformation due to the wide use of telemedicine services, including online prescriptions and e-pharmacies [3]. The Indian e-pharmacy market stood at US $344.78 million in 2021 and is expected to witness 21.28% growth by 2027 [4].

Patterns of Prescription Medication Use Before Diagnosis of Early Age-Onset Colorectal Cancer: Population-Based Descriptive Study

Patterns of Prescription Medication Use Before Diagnosis of Early Age-Onset Colorectal Cancer: Population-Based Descriptive Study

With respect to individuals, there is no significant difference in the proportions of EAO-CRC cases and controls filling prescriptions (OR 1.11, 95% CI 0.94-1.3). However, with respect to the number of prescriptions filled, among 797 EAO-CRC cases, there was a mean of 16.3 (SD 73.7) prescriptions (median 5.0) per case; whereas for 7796 controls, there was a mean of 22.4 (SD 99.3) prescriptions (median 6.0) per control.

Antibiotic Prescribing by Digital Health Care Providers as Compared to Traditional Primary Health Care Providers: Cohort Study Using Register Data

Antibiotic Prescribing by Digital Health Care Providers as Compared to Traditional Primary Health Care Providers: Cohort Study Using Register Data

Studies revealed reduced antibiotic prescriptions for some infectious diagnoses by internet-PHC physicians [12,13], with others showing no differences [12-15], and specific age groups exhibiting higher antibiotic prescription rates [16]. A previous study of Swedish internet-based primary health care (PHC) showed a lower rate of prescriptions for sore throat and respiratory symptoms, with no differences observed for dysuria symptoms [12].

An Increase in Antibiotic Prescribing for Respiratory Tract Infections Through Telehealth Consultations: Retrospective Study in Australian General Practice

An Increase in Antibiotic Prescribing for Respiratory Tract Infections Through Telehealth Consultations: Retrospective Study in Australian General Practice

A study conducted in the early stage of the pandemic showed lower rates of medication prescriptions via telehealth compared to face-to-face consultations in Australian general practice [4]; however, antibiotic prescribing for RTIs by consultation modality is yet to be explored. Therefore, we examined antibiotic prescribing for RTIs via telehealth in comparison with face-to-face consultations from April 2020 to November 2021.

Authors' Response to Peer Reviews of “Effects of Pharmacogenomic Testing in Clinical Pain Management: Retrospective Study”

Authors' Response to Peer Reviews of “Effects of Pharmacogenomic Testing in Clinical Pain Management: Retrospective Study”

UDT reports were the primary source of information to monitor and evaluate if changes in prescriptions were made and if recommendations of the PGx report were followed. The evaluation could only focus on the PGx report recommendation given by consortia guidelines and could not determine prescription changes based off of polymorphic gene variants themselves. There was no control group to evaluate as this was data focused on patients (N=171) from one pain management clinic only. 3.
