FREQUENCY OF POLYPHARMACY AND RISK FACTORS IN THE ELDERLYIN BURDUR

Öz:
Introduction: Polypharmacy is common among the elderly. This study aimed to determinethe frequency of polypharmacy and the risk factors in the elderly.Materials and Method: This cross-sectional study will be analysed in three stages(polypharmacy, drug characteristics and drug interaction). Herein, the first stage(polypharmacy) was conducted at Burdur city centre and the connected villages. A total of 400of 11,360 subjects aged ≥65 years who were registered with family physicians in Burdur citycentre were selected using a systematic sampling method. A questionnaire of 30 questionsabout socio-demographic variables and rational drug use was distributed among the subjects.Subsequently, the subjects were asked to bring their own drugs from home that they wereactively using or not currently using, and their drug-using behaviour was analysed via specificquestions.Results: The average number of different drugs possessed by the subjects at home wasapproximately 6 (5.95±4.30). A total of 64.9% of the drugs were used regularly, 21.3% wereused occasionally and 13.8% were previously used but not currently used. The mediannumber±standard deviation of the drugs that were used regularly, used occasionally andpreviously used but not currently used was 3.86±3.36, 1.27±1.75 and 0.82±1.82, respectively.According to the results of multivariate analysis, the presence of diabetes, hypertension,respiratory system or cardiovascular (except hypertension) diseases, visual impairment orhearing disorders significantly increased the total drug use (p<0.05).Conclusion: Chronic diseases and living in the city centre are the main risk factors leadingto polypharmacy. Therefore, interventions must be undertaken by monitoring and reducingchronic diseases and providing training on rational drug use in the provincial centres.

BURDUR İLİNDE YAŞAYAN YAŞLILARDA POLİFARMASİ SIKLIĞI VE POLİFARMASİYİ ETKİLEYEN ETMENLER

Öz:
Giriş: Polifarmasi yaşlılıkta çok sık görülür. Bu araştırmada Burdur ilinde yaşayan yaşlı bireylerde polifarmasi sıklığı ve neden olan risk faktörlerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Kesitsel tipte planlanan polifarmasi, ilaçların özellikleri, ilaç etkileşimi aşamalı bir çalışmanın birinci aşamasının (polifarmasi) yer aldığı bu araştırma, Burdur ili merkezi ve merkeze bağlı köylerde gerçekleştirildi. Burdur ili merkezde aile hekimlerine kayıtlı 65 yaş ve üzeri 11360 kişiden 400’ü sistematik örneklem yöntemiyle seçilmiştir. Kişilere sosyodemografik değişkenler ve akılcı ilaç tutumuna yönelik 30 soruluk anket uygulandı ve ikinci aşamada kişilerin evlerinde bulunan ve kendilerine ait olan kullandıkları veya şu an kullanmadıkları ilaçları getirmeleri talep edildi ve ilaçları kullanma ile ilgili davranışları belirli sorularla irdelendi. Bulgular: Kişilerin evlerinde kendilerine ait yaklaşık olarak ortalama 6 farklı etken maddeli ilaç (5.95±4.30) olduğu belirlendi. İlaçların %64,9’unu düzenli olarak, %21.3’ünü ara sıra kullanılmakta ve %13.8’ini ise önceden kullanmış ancak şu anda kullanılmamakta olduğu saptandı. Düzenli olarak kullanılan, ara sıra kullanılan ve önceden kullanılmış olup şimdi kullanılmayan ilaç sayısı ortalaması ve standart sapması sırasıyla; 3.86±3.36, 1.27±1.75, 0.82±1.82’dir. Polifarmasi (5 ve üzeri aktif olarak ilaç kullanma) sıklığı %36.5’dir. Multivariate analiz sonuçlarına göre, kişide diyabet, hipertansiyon, solunum sistemi veya kardiyovasküler sistem (hipertansiyon dışı) hastalığı bulunması, görme bozukluğu yaşaması veya işitme rahatsızlığı bulunması toplam ilaç kullanımını anlamlı şekilde arttırmıştır (p<0.05). Sonuç: Polifarmasiye yol açan asıl etkenin kronik hastalıklar ve kent merkezinde yaşam olduğu saptanmıştır; dolayısıyla kronik hastalıkların takibi ve azaltılmasına yönelik uygulamalar ve il merkezlerine akılcı ilaç kullanımı konusunda eğitim verilerek müdahale edilmesi gerekmektedir.
