Title

To Study Drug Prescription Pattern and Assess Medication Adherence in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients in a Tertiary Care Hospital: A Cross-Sectional Observational Study

Abstract

The prescription pattern explains tendencies with standard treatment guidelines and rational use of drugs. This is the main aim of the prescription pattern. The development of CKD is associated with a variety of comorbidities. Multiple drugs are needed to control these comorbidities. It may worsen drug interactions, raise drug prices, and enhance drug side effects. So, the present study plans to know the prescription pattern and assess medication adherence in CKD patients. This cross-sectional observational study was conducted at the Department of Medicine at the Government Medical College and Hospital. Patients who are known cases of CKD as per the hospital’s case report are included in the study after approval from the IEC. The final collected data will be analysed using appropriate statistical tests and MS Excel. The study suggests that out of a total of 80 patients, 63.75% were male, 47.5% were from rural areas, and 25% were between the ages of 41 and 50. Combinations of prescribed drugs were mostly diuretics, anti-animatics, and antihypertensives (16.25%). For antihypertensive therapy, the majority of patients (51.25%) were prescribed a single antihypertensive drug. For antibiotic therapy, a single antibiotic per prescription was prescribed to 45%; For antidiabetic therapy, a single antidiabetic drug per prescription was prescribed to 20%; By applying the Chi-Square test, it was found that there is a significant relationship between the number of prescribed medications and adherence. The study highlights the need to understand CKD patients' prescription patterns and to know past medication adherence and its causes.
