          Abstract

          Resumen Introducción: Los pacientes con virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH) han aumentado su esperanza de vida, convirtiéndose así el VIH en una enfermedad crónica gracias al tratamiento antirretroviral (TAR), que aunque no sea capaz de erradicar el virus, mantiene la carga viral suprimida e incrementa el número de linfocitos-CD4. Consecuentemente, ha aumentado el número de comorbilidades en esta población, y con ello su polifarmacia. Objetivo: Analizar la medicación TAR y no-TAR de pacientes VIH ≥50 años, determinando el grado de polifarmacia y las interacciones potenciales relevantes. Material y métodos: Estudio retrospectivo, observacional, unicéntrico, analítico, transversal. Se incluyeron los pacientes VIH ≥50 años que acudieron al Servicio de Farmacia para recogida de medicación: 7-enero al 3-febrero, 2019. Se recogieron las variables: edad, sexo, estratificación según la Estrategia de Atención Farmacéutica al Paciente Crónico de Jimena® , TAR y medicación no-TAR. Resultados: Se incluyeron un total de 114 pacientes ≥50 años, el 96,97% tenía medicación concomitante, destacando fármacos para el sistema cardiovascular y para el sistema nervioso central (SNC). Se identificaron 99 interacciones potenciales significativas TAR/no-TAR en 66 pacientes, ocurriendo principalmente con los fármacos para el SNC. Los TAR principalmente implicados fueron los inhibidores de la transcriptasa inversa no análogos de nucleósidos, inhibidores de la proteasa potenciados e inhibidores de la integrasa potenciados (INI/p). Conclusiones: El médico prescriptor del TAR debe tener encuenta la polifarmacia de estos pacientes, intentar desprescribir medicación innecesaria en la medida de lo posible ybuscar alternativas con menor repercusión, como puede serel uso de INI en el contexto del TAR.

          Abstract Background: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in patients have increased their life expectancy, making HIV a chronic illness, thanks to the antiretroviral treatment (ART), which, despite the fact it is not able to eradicate the HIV, it keeps the viral load supressed and increases the number of CD4 lymphocytes. Consequently, the number of comorbidities in this population has increased so, its polypharmacy as well. Objective: To analyze the ART and nonART medication of HIV patients ≥50 years old, determining the degree of polypharmacy and relevant interactions. Material and methods: Observational retrospective study, mono-site, analytical and transversal. HIV patients ≥50 years old who went to the Pharmacy Service for collecting medication from January 7th untill February 3rd, 2019. The following variables were selected: age, sex, stratification according to the Strategy of Pharmaceutical Care to the Patient Chronic of Jimena®, ART and non-ART medication. Results: A total of 114 patients ≥50 years old were included, 96.97% had concomitant medication, highlighting drugsfor the cardiovascular system and for the central nervous system. 99 significant interactions ART/non-ART were identified in 66 patients, occurring mainly with drugs for the central nervous system. The ARTs mainly involved were the nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, boosted protease inhibitors and boosted integrase inhibitors (INI).Conclusions: Prescribe physicians of ARTs must take into account to the polypharmacy of the patients, try to deprescribe unnecessary medication as much as possible and find alternatives with less repercussion, such as the use of Inhibitors of the Integrase, in the context of ART

          Frailty defined by deficit accumulation and geriatric medicine defined by frailty.

          As nonreplicative cells age, they commonly accumulate subcellular deficits that can compromise function. As people age, they too experience problems that can accumulate. As deficits (symptoms, signs, illnesses, disabilities) accumulate, people become more susceptible to adverse health outcomes, including worse health and even death. This state of increased risk of adverse health outcomes is indistinguishable from the idea of frailty, so deficit accumulation represents another way to define frailty. Counting deficits not only allows grades of frailty to be discerned but also provides insights into the complex problems of older adults. This process is potentially useful to geriatricians who need to be experts in managing complexity. A key to managing complexity is through instruments such as a comprehensive geriatric assessment, which can serve as the basis for routine clinical estimation of an individual's degree of frailty. Understanding people and their needs as deficits accumulate is an exciting challenge for clinical research on frailty and its management by geriatricians. Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Inc.

            Prevalence of concomitant medications in older HIV+ patients and comparison with general population.

            The increasing population of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected elderly patients results in a higher number of comorbidities and greater incidence of polypharmacy in addition to antiretroviral therapy (ART). The aim of this study is to describe the use of concomitant medication in older HIV-infected patients and to compare it with older general population.
