Article Synopsis
- A retrospective study was conducted at Saitama Medical University Hospital to examine factors related to multidrug administration among outpatients on hemodialysis, specifically focusing on drug classes and patient characteristics.
- The study involved 98 patients and utilized latent class analysis to identify risk clusters for receiving multiple medications, with logistic regression showing associations between multidrug use and factors like old age, poor nourishment, and chronic nephritis.
- Commonly prescribed drug classes included those for acid-related disorders, antidiarrheals, antithrombotics, and psycholeptics, particularly in diabetic patients where options were more limited.
