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.

In this model, all animals form calcium phosphate stones. We previously found that chlorthalidone, but not potassium citrate, decreased stone formation in these rats. Methods To test whether chlorthalidone and potassium citrate combined would reduce calcium phos- phate stone formation more than either medication alone, four groups of rats were fed a fixed amount of a normal calcium and phosphorus diet, supplemented with potassium chloride (as control), potassium citrate, chlorthalidone (with potassium chloride to equalize potassium intake), or potassium citrate plus chlorthalidone. We measured urine every 6 weeks and assessed stone formation and bone quality at 18 weeks. Results Potassium citrate reduced urine calcium compared with controls, chlorthalidone reduced it fur- ther, and potassium citrate plus chlorthalidone reduced it even more. Chlorthalidone increased urine citrate and potassium citrate increased it even more; the combination did not increase it further.

Materials and Methods: We conducted a prospective double-blind study of 64 patients who were randomly assigned to receive placebo or potassium-magnesium citrate (42 mEq. potassium, 21 mEq. magnesium, and 63 mEq. citrate) daily for up to 3 years. Results. New calculi formed in 63.6%of subjects receiving placebo and in 12.9%of subjects receiving potassium-magnesiumcitrate. When compared with placebo, the relative risk of treat- ment failure for potassium-magnesium citrate was 0.16 (95%confidence interval 0.05 to 0.46). potassium-magnesium citrate had a statistically significant effect (relative risk 0.10,95%confi- dence interval 0.03 to 0.36) even after adjustment for possible confounders, including age, pretreatment calculous event rate and urinary biochemical abnormalities.

    pat hways Preventing recurrent hypomagnesaemia: oral magnesium glycerophosphate Evidence summary Published: 29 January 2013 nice.org.uk/guidance/esuom4 Key points from the evidence The content of this evidence summary was up-to-date in January 2013. See summaries of product characteristics (SPCs), British national formulary (BNF) or the MHRA or NICE websites for up-to-date information. Magnesium glycerophosphate is a magnesium salt that is available as a tablet, capsule, liquid solution or liquid suspension for oral use. The British national formulary (BNF) states that oral magnesium glycerophosphate is a suitable preparation to prevent recurrence of symptomatic hypomagnesaemia in people who have already been treated for this condition. This evidence summary looks at the use of oral magnesium glycerophosphate in patients who have previously been treated with an intravenous infusion of magnesium. Oral magnesium glycerophosphate does not have UK marketing authorisation for this or any other indication, and therefore it is an unlicensed medicine in the UK. No published clinical trials comparing the efficacy of oral magnesium glycerophosphate with placebo or any form of active treatment for preventing recurrent hypomagnesaemia after treatment with intravenous magnesium were identified. The only videncee found was from 3 case reports describing the use of oral magnesium glycerophosphate for preventing recurrent hypomagnesaemia in adults after intravenous treatment. © NICE 2018.
