  • Development of the Medicines Optimisation Assessment Tool (MOAT)
    Department of Practice and Policy UCL School of Pharmacy PhD Thesis – University College London Development of the Medicines Optimisation Assessment Tool (MOAT) Targeting hospital pharmacists' input to reduce risks and improve patient outcomes Cathy Anne Geeson NIHR Clinical Doctoral Research Fellow Pharmacy Department Luton and Dunstable University Hospital 1 Declaration I, Cathy Geeson confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signature: Date: 2 Abstract Abstract Background Medicines optimisation is a key role for hospital pharmacists, but with ever-increasing demands on services, there is a need to increase efficiency while maintaining patient safety. The aim of this study was to use prognostic modelling to develop a prediction tool, the Medicines Optimisation Assessment Tool (MOATTM), to target patients most in need of pharmacists’ input while in hospital. Methods and analysis Patients from adult medical wards at two UK hospitals were prospectively included into this cohort study between April and November 2016. Data on medication related problems (MRPs) were collected by pharmacists at the study sites as part of their routine daily clinical assessment of patients. Data on potential risk factors, such as polypharmacy and use of ‘high-risk’ medicines, were collected retrospectively from the information departments at the study sites, laboratory reporting systems and patient medical records. Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine the relationship between potential risk factors and the study outcome, namely preventable MRPs that were at least moderate in severity. A simplified electronic scoring system (the MOAT) was then developed.

  • Health Effects of Labor Market Policies: Evidence from Drug Prescriptions
    Health Effects of Labor Market Policies: Evidence from Drug Prescriptions Marco Caliendo∗ Robert Mahlstedty Gerard J. van den Bergz teststets Johan Vikstr¨omx Preliminary Version This draft: November 13, 2019 -Please do not cite or circulate- We exploit individual-level labor market and prescription drug records to study unintended effects of labor market policies on participants' health status. We examine two popular and commonly used interventions that represent different reintegration strategies for unemployed workers: training programs and benefit sanctions. To establish a causal relationship we ex- ploit the longitudinal aspect of the prescription records and estimate dynamic difference- in-differences models comparing treated and non-treated individuals before and after the treatment. Our results show that supportive interventions, such as training programs, re- duce drug prescriptions related to cardiovascular and mental health diseases by about 6-7% within a year after the program start. The direct effect of participating, e.g. due to a change of daily routines, seem to be more important than the indirect effect through improved em- ployment prospects. Restrictive interventions, such as benefit sanctions, have no long-lasting effects on drug prescriptions, but the notification of an upcoming sanction leads to a short- term increase in prescriptions for mental health issues, which is possible induced by higher stress levels.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to analyse the prescription of antidepressants and anxiolytics by gender, to determine the correlation between them and to determine the antidepressants/anxiolytics ratio in Slovenia from 2009 until 2016. Data from the Slovenian Database of Outpatient Prescriptions were used based on the WHO Anatomical-Therapeutic-Chemical methodology. Data were anonymised. Compiled data were processed by means of descriptive statistics, contingency tables, Pearson correlation coefficient and linear regression analysis. Outpatient prescription showed a statistically significant increase in prescription of antidepressants (N06A) from 43.9 defined daily doses per 1000 inhabitants per day in 2009 to 58.8 defined daily doses per 1000 inhabitants per day in 2016 and statistically significant declining pattern of anxiolytics (N05B) from 19.3 defined daily doses per 1000 inhabitants per day in 2009 to 14.7 defined daily doses per 1000 inhabitants per day in 2016. Antidepressants/anxiolytics ratio increased from 2.3 in 2009 to 4.0 in 2016.
