Pages

  196-200

Abstract

 Background: Veterans with chronic Spinal cord injury usually have various comorbidities. They are, therefore, visited by different doctors and use different medications. It is necessary to monitor the health of these Veterans. One of the important issues in this regard is the attention to Drug interactions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the Drugs used and their interactions. Methods: This descriptive study of the cross-sectional studies was carried out retrospectively in 2015 under the Shefa Neuroscience Research Center’ s supervision, examining the medical records of Veterans with Spinal cord injury participating in the health screening program at Khatam Alanbiya hospital in Tehran. Demographic data, comorbidities, used Drugs, and the level of involvement collected. According to the FDA, Drug interactions among the Drugs used for each patient has evaluated and classified into three severe, moderate, and weak groups. SPSS v. 21 analyzed data. Results: The study population consisted of 404 men, ranging in age from 41 to 74, with a mean of 51. 6 ± 6. 4 years. One hundred forty-two of them (35. 1%) had a complete injury, and 262 Veterans (64. 8%) had an incomplete injury. Only 17 Veterans (4. 2%) had no Drug interactions. The number of Drug interactions varied from 1 to 38, with an average of 5. 9 ± 12. 8 interactions per patient. The total number of interactions was 2856, of which 32. 5% were weak, 55. 3% moderate, and 12. 2% severe, with a 95% confidence interval. Among the severe Drug interactions in the study, the highest number belonged to the antidepressant Drugs. Conclusion: This study highlights the necessity of developing a strategy for investigating and preventing Drug interactions in Veterans with chronic Spinal cord injury. It has recommended that physicians pay more attention to other medications used by the patient and prescribe as little as possible of the Drug and the Drug with the least number of interactions.
