Application of CMO (capacity, motivation, and opportunity) methodology in pharmaceutical care to optimize the pharmacotherapy in older people living with HIV. DISPIMDINAC project

Abstract

Objective. To determine the effectiveness of a pharmaceutical intervention, based on the CMO methodology (capacity, motivation and opportunity), to decrease the prevalence of the PIMDINAC concept (potentially inappropriate medication+drug interactions+non-adherence to concomitant medication) in people living with HIV infection. Material and methods. Longitudinal prospective multicenter study, conducted between October 2021 and October 2022. Patients living with HIV older than 65 years, on antiretroviral treatment and concomitant drug prescription were included. Demographic, clinical, and pharmacotherapeutic variables were collected. Pharmaceutical care was provided for6 months according to the CMO model in each patient. The main variable was the percentage of patients who simultaneously fulfilled the PIMDINAC concept, comparing the baseline value with the same value at the end of the study. In addition, the percentage of patient’s adherent to concomitant and antiretroviral treatment and the percentage of patients meeting the pharmacotherapeutic targets established for the prescribed medicationat 24 weeks of follow-up were compared. Results. Sixty-eight patients were included. Seventy-two percent were men, with a median age of 68 years. The median number of concomitant drugs was 7. A 60.6% of the patients had polypharmacy. The prevalence of the presence of the PIMDINAC concept decreased significantly (10.3 vs. 0%). In isolation, each of the aspects also decreased significantly (p<0.031). The percentage of patients who met the objectives improved significantly from 48,5 at baseline to 88.2 (p<0.001). Conclusions. The pharmaceutical intervention based onarmaceutical intervention based on the CMO methodology significantly decreased the prevalence of the PIMDINAC concept and increased the number of patients who achieved the objectives, optimising their pharmacotherapy.
