Risk of Mortality Associated with Potentially Inappropriate Medication Use Including Opioids in Older Adults.
Introduction and objective: As the population ages, understanding the potential risks associated with inappropriate medication use becomes increasingly important. Given the lack of studies in this area, our objective was to study the risk of mortality associated with potentially inappropriate medication use involving opioids in community-dwelling older adults.
Methods: Data came from a longitudinal study on older adults aged ≥ 65 years recruited in primary care clinics between 2011 and 2013 with an average follow-up of 4.25 years. Older adults were excluded if they used an opioid or had a malignant tumor diagnosis in the year before the study survey. A nested case-control within a cohort of older adults with at least one opioid claim during follow-up was used to evaluate the risk of all-cause mortality. Four controls per case were matched on follow-up time using risk-set sampling, i.e., while still at risk of death when their matched case died. The risk of mortality was estimated using conditional logistic regression analyses. Exposure to potentially inappropriate medication use involving opioids, defined using the Beers 2019 criteria, was assessed from provincial drug claims data in the 0-90 days before death.
Results: In a cohort of 472 community-dwelling older adults with an incident episode of opioid use, there were 40 cases matched to 160 controls. Exposure to inappropriate medication use involving opioids in the 90 days before death was associated with an increased risk of mortality (odds ratio 6.81, 95% confidence interval 1.69-27.47), after adjusting for potential confounders.
Conclusions: Exposure to inappropriate medication use involving opioids in the 90 days before death is associated with an increased risk of mortality in older adults. These findings can be used to encourage safer pain management strategies in older adults.
期刊介绍:
Drug Safety is the official journal of the International Society of Pharmacovigilance. The journal includes:
Overviews of contentious or emerging issues.
Comprehensive narrative reviews that provide an authoritative source of information on epidemiology, clinical features, prevention and management of adverse effects of individual drugs and drug classes.
In-depth benefit-risk assessment of adverse effect and efficacy data for a drug in a defined therapeutic area.
Systematic reviews (with or without meta-analyses) that collate empirical evidence to answer a specific research question, using explicit, systematic methods as outlined by the PRISMA statement.
Original research articles reporting the results of well-designed studies in disciplines such as pharmacoepidemiology, pharmacovigilance, pharmacology and toxicology, and pharmacogenomics.
Editorials and commentaries on topical issues.
Additional digital features (including animated abstracts, video abstracts, slide decks, audio slides, instructional videos, infographics, podcasts and animations) can be published with articles; these are designed to increase the visibility, readership and educational value of the journal’s content. In addition, articles published in Drug Safety Drugs may be accompanied by plain language summaries to assist readers who have some knowledge of, but not in-depth expertise in, the area to understand important medical advances.
