    UNIVERSITY OF AMSTERDAM MASTERS THESIS Impact of Medication Grouping on Fall Risk Prediction in Elders: A Retrospective Analysis of MIMIC-III Critical Care Database Student: SRP Mentor: Noman Dormosh Dr. Martijn C. Schut Student No. 11412682 – SRP Tutor: Prof. dr. Ameen Abu-Hanna SRP Address: Amsterdam University Medical Center - Location AMC Department Medical Informatics Meibergdreef 9, 1105 AZ Amsterdam Practice teaching period: November 2018 - June 2019 A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Medical Informatics iii Abstract Background: Falls are the leading cause of injury in elderly patients. Risk factors for falls in- cluding among others history of falls, old age, and female gender. Research studies have also linked certain medications with an increased risk of fall in what is called fall-risk-increasing drugs (FRIDs), such as psychotropics and cardiovascular drugs. However, there is a lack of consistency in the definitions of FRIDs between the studies and many studies did not use any systematic classification for medications. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of grouping medications at different levels of granularity of a medication classification system on the performance of fall risk prediction models. Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of the MIMIC-III cohort database. We created seven prediction models including demographic, comorbidity and medication variables. Medica- tions were grouped using the anatomical therapeutic chemical classification system (ATC) starting from the most specific scope of medications and moving up to the more generic groups: one model used individual medications (ATC level 5), four models used medication grouping at levels one, two, three and four of the ATC and one model did not include med- ications.

  • What's the Best First Line Anticonvulsant?
    What’s the best first line anticonvulsant? Stephen Hanson, DVM, MS, Dip. ACVIM (Neurology) Recurring seizure activity is a relatively common problem in canine patients. Nowadays, there are several good options for medical treatment, which makes the choice of which drug to use a little more complicated. All anticonvulsant drugs have advantages and disadvantages, so the selection of a first-line drug should be tailored for the individual patient and client. Phenobarbital: This has been the standard first choice drug for decades. The nice thing about Phenobarbital is that it works fairly well, controlling seizures in about 70% of dogs with epilepsy. Also, it is inexpensive and readily available. The biggest down-sides are its induction of hepatic metabolism and the need for frequent upward dose adjustments, as well as its potential to cause hepatotoxicity. The potential for liver disease increases with time, so a 2 year old dog placed on this medication is more likely to develop hepatotoxicity in his life-time than a 10 year old dog. Phenobarbital can also cause sedation and ataxia. While this is usually mild/transient, it can be a real problem in dogs with other pre- existing signs of intracranial disease. Polyuria, polydipsia and polyphagia are other common side effects. These signs vary widely in severity between patients. Pros: cheap, available at any corner pharmacy, works well Cons: higher doses required with time, possible serious liver side-effects Good first-line choice for middle-aged to older dogs without any pre-existing liver issues Poor choice for dogs with liver disease, dogs with other intracranial signs Questionable choice for young epileptic dogs Potassium/sodium bromide: This was the most commonly-used add on anticonvulsant drug for a long time.

  • Chapter 25 Mechanisms of Action of Antiepileptic Drugs
    Chapter 25 Mechanisms of action of antiepileptic drugs GRAEME J. SILLS Department of Molecular and Clinical Pharmacology, University of Liverpool _________________________________________________________________________ Introduction The serendipitous discovery of the anticonvulsant properties of phenobarbital in 1912 marked the foundation of the modern pharmacotherapy of epilepsy. The subsequent 70 years saw the introduction of phenytoin, ethosuximide, carbamazepine, sodium valproate and a range of benzodiazepines. Collectively, these compounds have come to be regarded as the ‘established’ antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). A concerted period of development of drugs for epilepsy throughout the 1980s and 1990s has resulted (to date) in 16 new agents being licensed as add-on treatment for difficult-to-control adult and/or paediatric epilepsy, with some becoming available as monotherapy for newly diagnosed patients. Together, these have become known as the ‘modern’ AEDs. Throughout this period of unprecedented drug development, there have also been considerable advances in our understanding of how antiepileptic agents exert their effects at the cellular level. AEDs are neither preventive nor curative and are employed solely as a means of controlling symptoms (i.e. suppression of seizures). Recurrent seizure activity is the manifestation of an intermittent and excessive hyperexcitability of the nervous system and, while the pharmacological minutiae of currently marketed AEDs remain to be completely unravelled, these agents essentially redress the balance between neuronal excitation and inhibition. Three major classes of mechanism are recognised: modulation of voltage-gated ion channels; enhancement of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-mediated inhibitory neurotransmission; and attenuation of glutamate-mediated excitatory neurotransmission. The principal pharmacological targets of currently available AEDs are highlighted in Table 1 and discussed further below.
