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.

One drop of the solution contains approximately 1.5 micrograms of latanoprost. Excipients with known effect Each ml of solution contains 0.2 mg benzalkonium chloride and 6.34 mg phosphate. For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1. 3 PHARMACEUTICAL FORM Eye drops, solution A clear, colourless, aqueous solution, pH between 6.5 – 6.9 and osmolality between 240 – 294 mOsmol/kg. 4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1 Therapeutic Indications Reduction of elevated intraocular pressure in patients with open angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Reduction of elevated intraocular pressure in paediatric patients with elevated intraocular pressure and paediatric glaucoma. 4.2 Posology and method of administration Posology Adults (including the elderly): Recommended therapy is one eye drop in the affected eye(s) once daily. Optimal effect is obtained if Latanoprost is administered in the evening. The dosage of Latanoprost should not exceed once daily since it has been shown that more frequent administration decreases the intraocular pressure lowering effect. If one dose is missed, treatment should continue with the next dose as normal. Paediatric population: Latanoprost eye drops may be used in paediatric patients at the same posology as in adults. No data are available for preterm infants (less than 36 weeks gestational age). Data in the age group < 1 year (4 patients) are very limited (see section 5.1).

  • Chapter 6 |Management of Morbidity
    NATIONAL MEDICAL CARE STATISTICS 2010 CHAPTER 6 | MANAGEMENT OF MORBIDITY 6.1 PRESCRIBED MEDICATION Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) Classification System The drugs prescribed in a primary care setting were coded according to the ATC classification, which categorises the active ingredients into different groups according to the body system or organ on which they exert their effects as well as their chemical, pharmacological and therapeutic properties. According to the code, each drug is classified at five different levels. first Level is the main group, which consists of mostly organs or body systems. Each of the 14 main groups in Level 1 are divided at 2nd Level according to their pharmacological and therapeutic effects, which are further subdivided at 3rd and 4th levels based on their chemical, pharmacological and therapeutic properties. The 5th Level of the code indicates the chemical substance1. An example of ATC classification for amlodipine is shown below. The full ATC code for plain amlodipine products is thus C08CA01. LEVELS ATC CODE ATC DESCRIPTION 1 C Cardiovascular system 2 C08 Calcium channel blockers 3 C08C Selective calcium channel blockers with mainly vascular effects 4 C08C A Dihydropyridine derivatives 5 C08C A01 Amlodipine Types of Drugs Prescribed A total of 54,532 drugs were prescribed in NMCS 2010, out of which 54,204 drugs (99.4%) were coded according to the ATC classification. The remaining 328 drugs could not be coded due to illegible writing or spelling errors. In this report, data is being presented according to the main groups (ATC Level 1 – Table 6.1) and main therapeutic groups (ATC Level 2 – Table 6.2) followed by a list of Top 100 most prescribed medications, in descending order (Table 6.3).
