About this study

Official title: Risk Factors for Adverse Drug Reactions in Older Subjects Hospitalized in a Dedicated Dementia Unit

Objective: To identify risk factors for the occurrence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) based on geriatric evaluation.

Design: Longitudinal prospective study from May 2010 to November 2011. Setting: Dedicated acute geriatric care unit specializing in the management of patients with dementia at the University Hospital of Reims, France.

Measurements: Sociodemographic variables and comprehensive geriatric assessment were recorded. Occurrence of ADRs was noted. Risk factors for ADR were identified by multivariate logistic regression.

Read the detailed description

Introduction: Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are frequent among older subjects, and are actually avoidable in up to 60% of cases. There are few studies identifying the risk factors for ADRs based on comprehensive geriatric assessment in older subjects with dementia, although better identification of patients at risk could help to target patients at risk for increased morbidity and mortality due to ADRs with a view to taking appropriate preventive measures.

Objective: To identify risk factors for the occurrence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) based on geriatric evaluation.

Design: Longitudinal prospective study from May 2010 to November 2011. Setting: Dedicated acute geriatric care unit specializing in the management of patients with dementia syndrome (Alzheimer disease or related syndromes) at the University Hospital of Reims, France.

Participants: Older patients with dementia syndrome (Alzheimer disease or related syndromes).

Measurements: Sociodemographic variables and comprehensive geriatric assessment were recorded. Occurrence of ADRs was noted. Risk factors for ADR were identified by multivariate logistic regression.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Dementia, run by CHU de Reims at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Aug 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Risk factors for the occurrence of adverse drug reactions (time frame: Month 18). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03623542, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Aug 2018.
