Mašková, Daniela ; Vlček, Jiří (advisor) ; Malý, Josef (referee)
Candidate: Daniela Mašková1 Supervisor: prof. RNDr. Jiří Vlček, CSc.1 Consultant: PharmDr. Zuzana Očovská1 Title of the master thesis: Analysis of drug-drug interactions in patients admitted to hospital (II.) 1 Department Social and Clinical Pharmacy, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové, Charles University Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) are part of drug-related problems. Drug-related problems can be either potential (possibly leading to real problems for the patient) or manifest (the problem already impacts the patient). This study aims to identify potential DDIs in the medication history of patients acutely admitted to University Hospital Hradec Králové via the department of emergency medicine. The objectives are to determine the prevalence of hospital admissions with at least one potential DDI in the medication history and characterize the identified potential DDIs with respect to their mechanism, severity rating, level of documentation, and potential consequences. Another objectives was to identify medication classes involved in potential DDI. The design of this study is an observational cross-sectional study. The data were obtained from the previous study examining the drug-relatedness of 1252 hospital admissions. For the purpose of my master's thesis, a sample of 378 hospital admissions was...

Analysis of drug dosage adjustments in patients with chronic kidney disease
Procházková, Jana ; Vlček, Jiří (advisor) ; Doseděl, Martin (referee)
Candidate: Jana Procházková1 Supervisor: prof. RNDr. Jiří Vlček, CSc.1 Consultant: PharmDr. Zuzana Očovská1 Title of the master thesis: Analysis of drug dosage adjustments in patients with chronic kidney disease 1 Department Social and Clinical Pharmacy, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové, Charles University Several medications excreted by the kidneys or associated with an increased risk for adverse drug events in patient with chronic kidney disease (CKD) require dosage adjustment, cautious use or avoidance. However, a number of studies show that appropriate dosage adjustment is not provided in many cases. Our objective was to analyze appropriateness of drug dosages and contraindicated medications in patients with CKD admitted to the hospital in Hradec Králové via the department of emergency medicine. This study is an observational cross-sectional study and represents a sub-study of the previous study that examined drug-relatedness of unplanned hospital admissions to University Hospital Hradec Králové in 2018. The data were obtained from electronic medical records. The appropriateness of drug use and drug dosages was analyzed in patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) between 15 and 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 based on comparison with the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC). The...

Candidate: Kateřina Kukrálová1 Supervisor: prof. RNDr. Jiří Vlček, CSc.1 Consultant: PharmDr. Zuzana Očovská1 1 Department Social and Clinical Pharmacy, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové, Charles University Title of the master thesis: The analysis of drug-drug interactions in patients admitted to hospital (I.) The presence of potential drug-drug interactions (DDIs) is common in daily practice and only a small proportion of potential DDIs results in hospitalization of the patients. Nevertheless, DDIs represent a significant cause of hospital admissions. This study aims to identify DDIs in the medication history of the patients admitted to University Hospital Hradec Králové via the emergency department in August-November 2018. The objectives of this study are a) to determine the prevalence of potential DDIs; b) to categorize identified potential DDIs with respect to their mechanism, severity, risk rating, level of documentation and potential outcomes and c) to determine the prevalence of manifest DDIs. This study has a cross-sectional design. The following data were obtained retrospectively from electronic medical records: demographic data, medication history, past medical history, laboratory and clinical findings, and information about hospital admission. The identification of potential DDI was...
