Article Synopsis
- - This study examines whether lower doses of anti-PD(L)1 agents are as effective as the standard doses for treating patients with solid tumors at a Brazilian hospital, aiming to highlight cost-effectiveness.
- - A total of 71 patients were analyzed, comparing efficacy outcomes such as clinical overall response rate, progression-free survival, and overall survival between those receiving low-dose (LD) and conventional-dose (CD) treatments.
- - Findings revealed no significant differences in treatment outcomes between LD and CD groups, suggesting that lower doses could provide a more accessible treatment option worth further investigation in future randomized trials.
Older patients with heart failure are particularly vulnerable due to a wide range of associated comorbidities, disability, and frailty. This population often receives multiple prescriptions, increasing the risk of adverse drug reactions, non-adherence, and drug interactions. Deprescribing, which involves reducing the number of medications to the lowest clinically reasonable limit, has the potential to decrease the risk of drug interactions and enhance patients' quality of life.
