Conditions

Chronic Pain, Iatrogenic Drug Risk

Brief summary

Chronic pain may be an additional risk factor for drug iatrogeny due to its management and also drug non-compliance in the geriatric population. it seems interesting to carry out an inventory of the iatrogenic risk before and after the consultation at the pain centre to enable us to identify the patients most at risk. This study would make it possible to characterize elderly patients with chronic pain, in order to consider, in a future study, setting up a pharmaceutical consultation.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Evolution of the ADE Geriatric risk score	2018	The score is calculated on 10 points based on 3 criteria : number of drugs prescribed, prescription of neuroleptics and the initiation of an anticoagulant prescription less than 3 months old. It classifies patients into 3 risk categories: a low risk level for a score of 0 to 1 point, a medium risk level for a score of 2 to 5 points and a high risk level for a score of 6 to 10 points.

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
rate of patients with a low, medium or high risk level calculated by ADE Geriatric risk score according to the type of pain	2018	The score is calculated on 10 points based on 3 criteria : number of drugs prescribed, prescription of neuroleptics and the initiation of an anticoagulant prescription less than 3 months old. It classifies patients into 3 risk categories: a low risk level for a score of 0 to 1 point, a medium risk level for a score of 2 to 5 points and a high risk level for a score of 6 to 10 points.
