科学领域:
- 老年学是一门学科.
- 药理学 药理学是指药理学的学科.
- 公共卫生 公共卫生
背景情况:
- 跌倒对老年人来说是一个重大的健康问题,特别是在沙特阿拉伯,与药物相关的跌倒是健康不良结果的可预防原因.
- 识别有风险的人并了解他们对降落风险增加药物 (FRID) 的了解,对于有效的降落预防策略至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 为了评估沙特阿拉伯贾赞社区居住的老年人中跌倒风险.
- 评估这个人群对处方药和非处方药的跌倒风险增加药物 (FRID) 的知识.
- 检查药剂师咨询对药物管理的影响,并愿意讨论与预防跌倒相关的变化.
主要方法:
- 在沙特阿拉伯的贾赞,对391名60岁及以上的社区居民进行了横截面调查.
- 跌倒风险使用阿拉伯语独立查工具进行评估. 评估了对FRID的知识和接受药剂师咨询的情况.
- 采用多变量逻辑回归和有序探针模型来识别与跌倒风险和药物知识相关的因素.
主要成果:
- 超过一半 (57%) 的参与者被认为有跌倒的风险.

Factors Affecting Drug Response: Overview
Renal Failure: Dose Adjustments

As a result, dosage adjustments are typically necessary to maintain optimal drug levels in the body.
However, dosage adjustments...
