Abstract:

Background

The increasing phenomena of multimorbidity and polypharmacy in older adults with cancer predisposes them to potentially inappropriate medication (PIM), which adversely affects patient prognosis.

Objective

To systematically evaluate the prevalence of PIM in older adults with cancer.

Methods

The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase, PubMed, CNKI, VIP, Wanfang Data, and CBM databases were searched to collect studies related to the prevalence of PIM in older adults with cancer, and the search period was from the inception of the databases to September 2024. The examined literature was independently screened, data extracted, and evaluated, and Stata 17.0 software was used to perform meta-analysis.

Results

A total of 36 studies with 54 prevalence estimates were analyzed, including 95 290 patients. Meta-analysis indicated that the prevalence of PIM in older adults with cancer was 44.5% (95%CI=39.2%-49.8%). The results of subgroup analysis showed that the prevalence of PIM in older adults with cancer aged 60-70 and >70 years was 44.4% and 46.1%, respectively; the prevalence of PIM in elderly male and female patients was 40.9% and 42.5%, respectively; the prevalence of PIM in patients with ≤5 and >5 diseases was 34.4% and 47.1%, respectively; the prevalence of PIM in patients with≥5 and <5 medications was 39.9% and 30.4%, respectively; the prevalence of PIM in patients with lung cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, hematologic malignancies, breast cancer, and prostate cancer was 45.6%, 39.4%, 42.0%, 39.4%, and 42.6%, respectively; the prevalence of PIM among older adults with cancer in Asia, Europe, North America, and South America was 50.2%, 45.8%, 35.7%, and 51.4%, respectively; the prevalence of PIM in patients from hospitals, databases, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and cancer centers was 47.6%, 43.0%, 34.6%, and 34.5%, respectively; the prevalence of PIM screened by the Beers criteria, DAE, STOPP/START criteria, EU (7) -PIM list, and the 2017 Chinese criteria was 46.6%, 16.5%, 44.6%, 60.0%, and 39.3%, respectively; the prevalence of PIM published in 2020 and before and after 2020 was 36.1% and 52.5%, respectively.

Conclusion

The prevalence of PIM is relatively high in older adults with cancer, at 44.5%. The prevention, screening, and intervention of potential inappropriate medication among relevant populations should be emphasized to lay a solid foundation for the health in older adults with cancer.

摘要:

背景

老年癌症患者中普遍存在多病、多重用药现象,导致患者容易出现潜在不适当用药(PIM),从而对患者预后产生不利影响。

目的

系统评价老年癌症患者PIM发生率。

方法

计算机检索中国知网、维普网、中国生物医学文献数据库、万方数据知识服务平台、PubMed、Embase、Web of Science和Cochrane Library数据库中有关老年癌症患者PIM发生现状的相关研究,检索时间为建库至2024年9月。由2位研究者对所检文献进行独立筛选、数据提取以及偏倚风险评价,并使用Stata 17.0软件进行Meta分析。

结果

最终纳入36篇文献、共54组PIM发生率,包含95 290例患者。Meta分析结果显示,老年癌症患者PIM发生率为44.5%(95%CI=39.2%~49.8%)。亚组分析结果显示,60~70岁、>70岁的老年癌症患者PIM发生率分别为44.4%、46.1%;老年男性、女性癌症患者PIM发生率分别为40.9%、42.5%;疾病数量≤5种、>5种的老年癌症患者PIM发生率分别为34.4%、47.1%;用药数量≥5种、<5种的老年癌症患者PIM发生率分别为39.9%、30.4%;肺癌、胃肠癌、血液恶性肿瘤、乳腺癌和前列腺癌患者PIM发生率分别为45.6%、39.4%、42.0%、39.4%和42.6%;亚洲、欧洲、北美洲和南美洲的老年癌症患者PIM发生率分别为50.2%、45.8%、35.7%和51.4%;来自医院、数据库、丹娜法伯癌症研究所和癌症中心的老年癌症患者PIM发生率分别为47.6%、43.0%、34.6%和34.5%;Beers标准、DAE、STOPP/START标准、EU(7)-PIM list和中国PIM标准(2017版)筛查的老年癌症患者PIM发生率分别为46.6%、16.5%、44.6%、60.0%和39.3%;2020年及以前、2020年以后发表的研究中老年癌症患者PIM发生率分别为36.1%、52.5%。

结论

老年癌症患者PIM发生率为44.5%。应重视预防、筛查和干预相关人群中的潜在用药不当,为癌症老年人的健康奠定坚实的基础。
