Abstract

Deprescribing opportunities may differ across health care systems, nursing home settings, and prescribing cultures. The objective of this study was to compare the prevalence of STOPPFrail medications according to frailty status among residents of nursing homes in Australia, China, Japan, and Spain. Secondary cross-sectional analyses of data from 4 cohort studies. A total of 1142 residents in 31 nursing homes. Medication data were extracted from resident records. Frailty was assessed using the FRAIL-NH scale (non-frail 0–2; frail 3–6; most-frail 7–14). Chi-square tests and prevalence ratios (PRs) were used to compare STOPPFrail medication use across cohorts. In total, 84.7% of non-frail, 95.6% of frail, and 90.6% of most-frail residents received ≥1 STOPPFrail medication. Overall, the most prevalent STOPPFrail medications were antihypertensives (53.0% in China to 73.3% in Australia, P <.001), vitamin D (nil in China to 52.7% in Australia, P <.001), lipid-lowering therapies (11.1% in Japan to 38.9% in Australia, P <.001), aspirin (13.5% in Japan to 26.2% in China, P <.001), proton pump inhibitors (2.1% in Japan to 32.0% in Australia, P <.001), and antidiabetic medications (12.3% in Japan to 23.5% in China, P =.010). Overall use of antihypertensives (PR, 1.15; 95% CI, 1.06–1.25), lipid-lowering therapies (PR, 1.78; 95% CI, 1.45–2.18), aspirin (PR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.04–1.64), and antidiabetic medications (PR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.00–1.72) were more prevalent among non-frail and frail residents compared with most-frail residents. Antihypertensive use was more prevalent with increasing frailty in China and Japan, but less prevalent with increasing frailty in Australia. Antidiabetic medication use was less prevalent with increasing frailty in China and Spain but was consistent across frailty groups in Australia and Japan. There were overall and frailty-specific variations in prevalence of different STOPPFrail medications across cohorts. This may reflect differences in prescribing cultures, application of clinical practice guidelines in the nursing home setting, and clinician or resident attitudes toward deprescribing.

Abstract

No previous studies have evaluated the intra- and interobserver reliability between the Weber, Lauge-Hansen and AO Foundation/Orthopaedic Trauma Association (AO/OTA) classification systems under time constraints. This study compares the interobserver and intraobserver reliability of the aforementioned classification systems under simulated time constraints. Anteroposterior and lateral radiographs of ankle malleolar fractures from 80 consecutive patients from 2015 to 2016 were classified by 2 independent observers according to Weber, Lauge-Hansen and AO/OTA. Classifications were conducted over 4 successive weeks under timed (25-seconds) and untimed conditions, with 1-week gaps between each classification. Cohen's kappa and percentage agreement were calculated. Cohen's kappa for interobserver agreement ranged 0.67 to 0.67 and 0.59 to 0.73 for untimed and timed classifications for Weber; 0.38 to 0.47 and 0.44 to 0.50 for Lauge-Hansen; 0.28 to 0.49 and 0.13 to 0.37 for AO/OTA. Intraobserver agreement ranged from 0.83 to 0.85 and 0.78 to 0.79 for untimed and timed classifications for Weber; 0.46 to 0.65 and 0.59 to 0.73 for Lauge-Hansen; 0.42 to 0.63 and 0.40 to 0.51 for AO/OTA. Based on the Landis and Koch's benchmark scale, there was substantial agreement in the inter- and intraobserver variables for Weber; moderate agreement in inter- and intraobserver variables for Lauge-Hansen; fair and moderate agreement in inter- and intraobserver variables respectively for AO/OTA. Interobserver and intraobserver reliability was the most substantial for Weber, followed by Lauge-Hansen and AO/OTA. Time constraint did not have a statistically significant effect on the reliability of classifications. We recommend concurrent usage of the Weber and Lauge-Hansen system, since they demonstrate the greatest reliability and reproducibility, and confer better understanding of the fracture type, respectively.
