Nonadherence to PPIs

This Mobile App is a calculator indicating the likelihood that a patient who is taking proton pump inhibitor treatment will have nonadherence to this medication.

To calculate this likelihood we need to know the following patient parameters: prescription of antidepressants (yes or no), number of total drugs and non-guideline- recommended prescription of this medication (yes or no). Proton pump inhibitors are indicated primarily in diseases related to gastric acid secretion, where they have proved more effective than other antiulcer drugs such as H2 antihistamines. They are also used for prevention of secondary drug gastropathies and may also be indicated in more specific pathologies that require short-term treatment (bleeding ulcer, placement of esophageal bands, etc.).

This application will calculate a score based on the risk given by the above parameters. A patient is more likely to experience nonadherence if he/she is taking antidepressants, has higher number of total drugs and its prescriptions is not recommended by the clinical guidelines. The resulting score will indicate if the patient has nonadherence (positive) or not (negative).

If a patient is found to positive, we should immediately undertake a strict control of that patient’s medication, aimed at reducing future sequelae. This Mobile App is a calculator indicating the likelihood That a patient who is taking proton pump inhibitor treatment will Have to this medication nonadherence.

To calculate likelihood esta we need to know the patient following parameters: prescription of antidepressants (yes or no), the total number of drugs and non-prescription of esta guideline- recommended medication (yes or no). Proton pump inhibitors are Primarily Indicated in diseases related to gastric acid secretion, Where They have PROVED more effective than other antiulcer drugs: such as H2 antihistamines. They are used for prevention of Present secondary drug gastropathies and may be Indicated in Present more specific pathologies That require short-term treatment (bleeding ulcer, esophageal placement of bands, etc.).

This application will calculate a score based on the risk Given by the above parameters. A patient is more likely to experience nonadherence if he / she is taking antidepressants, you have higher overall number of prescriptions drugs and STI is not recommended by the clinical guidelines. The RESULTING score will Indicate if the patient has nonadherence (positive) or not (negative).

If a patient is found to positive, We Should Immediately Undertake a strict monitoring of That patient's medication, Aimed at reducing future sequelae.
