Cohort study on immune checkpoint inhibitor-associated acute kidney injury: Incidence, risk factors, and management strategies.

Introduction: Case studies and retrospective chart reviews of health system data have demonstrated an increased risk of nephrotoxicity in patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors compared to clinical trials. This study investigated the frequency, causes, and risk factors for acute kidney injury in a real-world, rural setting.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of patients who received at least one dose of a checkpoint inhibitor at a rural health system from May 2013 to February 2020 and who received at least one dose of a checkpoint inhibitor.

Assessing automated product selection success rates in transmissions between electronic prescribing and community pharmacy platforms.

Objective: Wrong drug product errors occurring in community pharmacies often originate at the transcription stage. Electronic prescribing and automated product selection are strategies to reduce product selection errors. However, it is unclear how often automated product selection succeeds in outpatient pharmacy platforms.

Prospective cohort study of opioid use after total knee arthroplasty in a single center.

Objectives: Fewer opioids prescribed for postoperative pain may help reduce the number of surplus opioids available in the community and decrease the risk of opioid dependence. Published data on patients' opioid use after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are limited.

Methods: This was a prospective study designed to characterize opioid use after TKA.

Warnings for drug-drug interactions in consumer medication information provided by community pharmacies.

Objectives: In 2006, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a draft guidance for pharmacies to provide consumer medication information (CMI) to patients receiving prescription medications.
