About this study

Official title: Impact of Clinical Pharmacist-led Appropriate Acid Suppression Therapy Stewardship Program on Hospitalized Older Patients: A Non-Randomized Controlled Study

To evaluate the impact of clinical pharmacist-led appropriate acid suppression therapy stewardship program in hospitalized older patients.

Read the detailed description

This prospective, nonrandomized controlled study was conducted in older patients who ordered proton pump inhibitor (PPI) at admission in an internal medicine service of tertiary training and research hospital. In the intervention group, clinical pharmacist-led services (including medication reconciliation and medication review) were conducted during hospitalization and at discharge by using the guidelines and potentially inappropriate medications (PIM) criteria [American Geriatric Society-AGS Beers Criteria©, 2019]. Medication Appropriateness Index (MAI), inappropriate PPI cost, and hospitalization for gastrointestinal bleeding within 1 year after discharge were calculated in both groups

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Appropriateness of Proton Pump Inhibitors Usage

    The rate of appropriateness use of proton pump inhibitors based on the guidelines at hospital stay

    Measured: during hospital stay, an average of 14 days

  2. Potentially Inappropriate Proton Pump Inhibitors Usage

    The rate of potentially inappropriate use of proton pump inhibitors based on American Geriatric Society Beers Criteria© 2019

    Measured: at discharge, an average of 14 days after admission to hospital

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Clinical outcome

    The number of patients who hospitalized for bleeding within 1 year after discharge

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Cost saving during hospital stay

    Medication cost for inappropriate PPI during hospital study

    Measured: during hospital stay, an average of 14 days

  3. Medication Appropriateness Index for Proton Pump Inhibitors at hospital stay

    Medication Appropriateness Index (MAI); included 10 items. Each item was weighted from 1-3. The highest score per medication was 18.

    Higher scores of this index represent more inappropriateness of each medication.

    Measured: during hospital stay, an average of 14 days

  4. Cost saving after discharge

    Medication cost for potentially inappropriate PPI after discharge

    Measured: a month

  5. Medication Appropriateness Index for Proton Pump Inhibitors at discharge

    Medication Appropriateness Index (MAI); included 10 items. Each item was weighted from 1-3. The highest score per medication was 18.

    Higher scores of this index represent more inappropriateness of each medication.

    Measured: at discharge, an average of 14 days after admission to hospital

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Clinical Pharmacist-led Appropriate Acid Suppression Therapy Stewardship Program in people with Geriatric, run by Marmara University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 18 Oct 2023. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Appropriateness of Proton Pump Inhibitors Usage (time frame: during hospital stay, an average of 14 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT05113667, 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 18 Oct 2023.
