Study of cardiovascular drugs usage, among elderly subjects admitted to the emergency department for syncopal falls in Rhône-Alpes region
Study of cardiovascular drugs usage, among elderly subjects admitted to the emergency department for syncopal falls in Rhône-Alpes region. Polypharmacy and cardiovascular medication usage are risk factors for falls in the elderly. This study included subjects aged 75 and over, admitted in the emergency department for falls, based on evaluation data of professional practices carried out in the Nord Alpine region by the French Network of North-Alps Emergency Departments (Réseau Nord Alpin des Urgences, RENAU). The patients included were divided into 4 groups: "syncope", "accidental falls", "repeated falls" and "other types of fall". From the emergency room admission prescriptions, we studied the consumption of cardiovascular drugs in number and quality in the "syncope" group compared to other types of falls. The main objective in this study was to highlight higher cardiovascular drug usage among the elderly patients admitted to the emergency department for syncopal falls, in comparison with other types of falls. We included 1,476 patients among whom 262 patients came for "syncopal falls". We found superior usage of cardiovascular medication among syncopal falls compared to other type of falls (p < 0,01). However, there is no statistically significant association between inappropriate cardiovascular drug prescriptions, and the type of falls. The "standardized" fall assessment whose orthostatic hypotension investigation, is not always exhaustive in the emergency room. Orthostatic hypotension diagnostic is insufficiently sought in the emergency room. This study highlights a significantly higher usage of diuretic medication within the syncope group, in comparison to the other groups, and especially loop diuretic. Antihypertensive drugs (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, angiotensin II receptor blockers, calcium inhibitor) are also recurrent within the syncope group compared to the others. A careful supervising of these prescriptions among elderly patients seems required. These data prompt to revise prescriptions during fall related hospitalizations, and then with the primary-care physician, or with the cardiologist.
